This is an old hotel that’s well cared for with everything you need for a comfortable stay and a good sleep. It is not fancy but it is in a great neighborhood! And, the price can’t be beat! Will definitely stay here again. A good find.

The room was small, but it's a historic property which isn't surprising. Bathroom was small and dated but VERY clean, which is important to us. Bed was soft, and they had a list of interesting pillows you could request if you wanted (like a full body pillow, memory foam, etc.) Free apples, cookies, tea, and coffee in the lobby. Cons: Room faced the street, so you could hear the cable cars and street noise. The walls were also paper thin -- could hear the person in the room next to us having a loud convo at 7 AM. Overall, very convenient to shopping, dining, and transit. We'd stay there again.

Great stay. No complaints. Awesome little touches like the water machine, coffee, and treats available. It was also so convenient that they held our bags at the bell desk all day. When we checked in we were super early and inquired about holding bags and they just checked us in cause our room was ready!!! Awesome awesome experience.
