Pros:

Great central location, super comfy bed, friendly staff and a good bar

Cons:

Single glazed windows meant it was loud and the air con didn't work, this wasn't a huge deal for us as we didn't spend much time in the room

Conveniently located for exploring downtown SF, don't drink the bottled water in room (chargeable)
Pros:

Location is convenient, staff are friendly

Cons:

Surprise minibar charges after checkout. It wasn't clear that the bottled water on the side table was chargeable. This is complimentary in every hotel I've stayed in around the world. Was also billed for minibar item I didn't consume. Be careful, I would suggest taking photos of all minibar items as proof before checkout. Maybe even insist that staff check the room with you present.

Very nicely designed hotel and welcoming staff in the center of the city
Pros:

Very friendly and helpful staff. Oshan was proactive et gave us everything we needed in a timely manner. The manager was also great, overall welcoming place and staff !

Superb decor and thoughtfully designed room. We stayed in a suite, which had a little coffee table, a couch, a breakfast nook and a big comfy bed. Everything was clean. Our room looked upon another buildings roof and the skyline of the city, lots of light in the morning and early afternoon going through the 3 windows.

Super central location, in front of a bus stop and a 5-7 min walk away from the subway station. Surroundings were a lot of other hotels and high rises but there was also a bunch of coffee shops, breakfast place and even grocery stores neerby. We took an uber in from the airport and travelled with public transit during our stay. Walking distance from Chinatown.

Since it’s in the heart of the city, it can get quite loud (traffic, trucks, other ACs and stuff) - but manageable for us, especially since the hotel provided ear plugs. The windows in our room did not open, so we took advantage of the central air system.

This was also along the cheapest options for us - and we really value design, decor and comfort, so we were really pleased with our stay.

Would recommend and definitely go back !
