Cute room if you don't want a hot shower
Pros:

The rooms are big and well-equipped. The decor is very cute. Good location.

Great location, cute aesthetic, fun bar and pool area, updated/clean rooms
Pros:

Location was excellent! It was near Market Street, East Bay, King Street, etc.

Cons:

The layout was a little funky, but once we figured out that we could only get outside from one stairwell, it wasn’t a problem.

It was nice and friendly staff.
Pros:

The breakfast was good and the staff was very friendly.

Cons:

We paid for a balcony room with a view but it was blocked off so there was no view at all.

Wouldn't stay here again.
Pros:

the location was great and in the center of everything.

Cons:

floors were dirty, sheets were super thin, no mattress protector, pillows were awful, shower head was broken, mattress was ok. When I asked them about the mattress protector I was told that it is standard for LUXURY hotels. If you are paying luxury prices, luxury items should be provided. I pulled the sheets back on the bed and you could see the sweat stains from previous guests. So gross!

Unreasonable and inconsistent policy
Pros:

Our flight from New York was canceled due to severe weather, with no alternative flights available for four days. The Ryder Hotel refused both a refund and the option to apply the stay to a future date, forcing us to lose one night. Meanwhile, another party we were traveling with—who contacted the hotel slightly earlier—was allowed to rebook without losing any money. The inconsistency and lack of flexibility were extremely disappointing.
