Nice hotel with traditional feel in an attractive location, walking distance to key sights
Pros:

Traditional building with classic feel throughout, not a chain hotel! Attractive and vibrant location on the square . Nice lobby area for sitting by the window with coffee available. Upstairs room was bright, airy and attractive.

Cons:

Downstairs room was much smaller and less appealing. Hotel was not able to provide 2 rooms close together as requested. Key activation via phone can be fiddly and doesn’t always work. We needed to reconnect to the Wi-Fi login every day and every time we stepped out and returned to the building. Be mindful of the stairs with heavy bags (2 flights and no elevator)

very annoying
Pros:

location

Cons:

digital only access is unconscionable when an app is required to be downloaded to access a room that has already been paid for. we couldn't get the app and couldn't get into the room. Emergency phone number connected to a different hotel. Room was spartan. Clean. Broken shades
For $495/night it was awful. but the location is indeed great. not compensatory for a crappy experience but a fine location in which to reside

It could have been better
Pros:

Great location. Close to restaurants and bars.

Cons:

I tried to sleep in and could hear all the people checking out and grabbing coffee and never got to go back to sleep as it was loud. I also asked for late check out and was not allowed. Also can’t cancel even with 1 week notice.

old school meets high tech.
Pros:

character. great location. clean.

Cons:

the property is fully automated. no staff. they need a more clear cheat sheet for first time users. once you figure it out its ok. though if your phone battery dies... you are sleeping in the park (Tony's pizza let me charge). no one answered the phone or the ring doorbell. this is an 1800s property... most rooms have shared bathrooms. mine had a private bath but it was across the hall. bring your phone to your bath to get back in your room or you are sleeping in the hall.

Konum güzel
Pros:

Konum harikaydı. Anahtarsız giriş uygulaması çalışmadı ve otelde bulunan biri bize odanın anahtarını teslim etti. Çok çabuk yardımcı oldular. Lobide sürekli kahve sıcak au ve su bulunması çok iyiydi. Odamız hergün temizlendi

Great stay in North Beach neighborhood.
Pros:

Great location, nice lobby area with coffee and tea. Despite not having a reception, communication was good through their app and we had no problems getting in.

Cons:

It was a little warm in our room and there was some noise in our street level room. But it didn’t disturb us.

Pros:

Neighborhood is nice, a lot of restaurants and commerce.

Cons:

We were hearing a couple next door having sex, and it was a pretty long time. The wall is too thin, so not just the sound but the bed creaking noise was heard in our room, too. It was pretty disturbing.

If the provided room keys I would be happy to return
Pros:

Location
Charming

Cons:

I hated the app you had to download to enter rooms. Mine continually produced errors and I could not enter room.
No staff at location.
After resetting app three or four times would it function predictably
