The property offered a lot of history and had some beautiful details; the rooftop bar was great. However, the food was just okay and most of the staff wasn't forth coming about the service charge added to the bill. Not sure if I would return...

The hotel is convenient to lots of dining, shopping and transportation options right around Union Square. We stayed in the “extra” space room which was about the size of a regular hotel room and met all of our needs. Decorated really nice and clean in the room and throughout the hotel.

Outstanding Hospitality and Exceptional Service.

The staff at this hotel are exceptionally friendly and always eager to help. From check-in to my visit to the Post Room bar and interactions with the door staff, every experience was positive and accommodating. The hotel is in a great location, easy walking to all. I highly recommend this hotel and will definitely stay here again on my next trip to San Francisco.
