Not ADA
Pros:

The staff was very nice

Cons:

Not ADA compliant. I could not stay there. I clearly stated my mobility disability issues to bookings and to the hotel in advance. I had to change hotels. The hotel said they refunded the remaining 2 nights. Bookings needs to issue the refunded payment

Pros:

Ottima posizione, buona colazione. Arredamento "vintage" in stile elisabettiano, camino a gas in camera. Acqua, the e caffè disponibili gratuitamente tutto il giorno. Offerta di vino e formaggio nel pomeriggio presso l'hotel partner di fianco. Ho dimenticato alcuni indumenti nel cassetto della camera e hanno già provveduto ad inviarmeli.

Cons:

Nulla

A good deal for SF and location. Safe and clean
Pros:

Location price and staff very good

Cons:

Bed too soft for me (I like a firm bed) duvet was just 2 flat sheets sandwiching a duvet - better and more hygienic to have actual duvet cover. Only soy milk at breakfast (no one drinks soy milk - rather oat or almond much more common). Walls thin and lots of street noise (bring earplugs if light sleeper!)

Clean and friendly, but not really worth the price.
Pros:

I liked the location and the bed was comfortable

Cons:

It was quite noisy, not just outside, but also the floor above me made all sorts of noise. The breakfast was nothing special and no parking, which isn’t unusual. Overall, not a good value for the price.
