comfortable, friendly, and convenient
Pros:

This is a charming hotel housed in a historic building. I have stayed here many times over the years for work-related reasons. The staff have always been very kind, but on this recent visits, they were exceptionally friendly and helpful. From the reception team and the doormen to the housekeeping staff, everyone was so kind and pleasant, making for a comfortable and worry-free stay. Unusually for a hotel of this size, the lobby is quite spacious; I also enjoy the light pastries served in the morning and the wine offered in the evening.　I strongly recommend a room with a window facing the sea, from which you can see the Bay Bridge!

なかなか快適に滞在できます
Pros:

何年もの間、サンフランシスコに行くたびにお世話になっています。私の仕事に便利なロケーションであることはもとより、サンフランシスコ湾に面していてフェリービルやスーパーなどが徒歩数分圏内にあり、近所にもレベルの高いレストランがいくつかあることで便利です。なにより、ホテルのスタッフがとても親切ですし、海側のお部屋だと景色も素晴らしいです。

Pros:

The hotel was lovely! Carlos and Ms Araceli were friendly and very polite. The hotel was comfortable, very well located and it was in an old YMCA Association. Lots of old time decoration!
