Unbelievable value! This San Francisco hotel was impeccably clean, on par with a 5-star experience, yet the price was even lower than what I paid 15 years ago. Its prime location, just 5 minutes from Union Square and a short 15-20 minute walk to everything else, makes it highly recommended.

Checked in after 3pm. Room i booked was unavailable. They were able to upgrade us but not sure what difference was since it looked just like room i booked. Thin walls, could hear conversations from next room. Staff super helpful and friendly. Parking was a nightmare i drove dodge ram and was oversized so i paid $70 overnight. At the end it is SF tho right. A lot of restaurants and parks nearby so that was awesome.

This hotel felt very high-end despite not hosting the earth. The staff were incredibly friendly to my family as we were travelling with 2 year old twins. Our room was very spacious with 2 large, comfy beds, a table and chairs, large tv, and bay window with bench seat. Our family of 4 had plenty of space here. Our one gripe was that there was no minifridge or microwave. There was an ice bucket provided and ice machine downstairs, but we did find it tricky to keep toddler necessities such as milk, yogurt pouches, and deli meat cold during our stay. We also ate out more as a result. We did not try the hotel restaurant although it looked lovely. The shower was lovely, although wished we could turn off the automatic bathroom lights at night to avoid waking the children. Overall a great stay and felt very safe in the hotel, although we avoided comibg back after 7pm as surrounding streets were starting to feel a bit rough.

Weren’t given to information that we had to be 21 to check in. Husband and I are 18 /19. Couldn’t give us a refund for the night. Very upset because we thought we found a perfect place to stay, good location and price. Really unfortunate.

I liked the decor. I was told there are bodies in the walls. Not sure if that's true or not, but it seemed likely as there are also bodies in the crawl spaces of nearby buildings. Certainly organized crime going on next door.
