This was a clean and affordable stay in an expensive city. While it didn’t knock my socks off, it was fine for a quick s
Pros:

Great location, clean room and the woman from housekeeping who cleaned our room was lovely. The robes were great, and the bedding was very comfortable.

Cons:

The front desk staff needs to do better with being more welcoming and helpful. We were tourists. We asked for a map, and the man’s response was, “Sorry we are out of maps.” Ok, that’s understandable, but there was zero follow up about where I can get one. They were not unkind, just completely indifferent. The room itself needed a few things:
Much better mattresses
Hooks for coats, towels, etc. There was one hook for the robes and a towel rack for the hand towels and washcloths. No place to hang the bath towels. Five or six hooks would have made a huge difference. The breakfast was a bit disappointing as the fruit was sad and they used paper plates and plastic ware. There is a restaurant attached to the hotel that I assume has a dishwasher, so why be so wasteful?

It might be inexpensive, but it's still not worth it.
Pros:

The exterior had old San Francisco charm

Cons:

The interior smell of the hotel from the lobby to the elevator to the hallways was so bad I had to mentally prepare myself to enter the hotel.

The coffee in the lobby was from an automatic machine that you could push a button and it was so undrinkable. It was laughable.

The front desk staff was unsmiling and awkward most of the time. Or just completely silent.

The size of our hotel room felt like it was for a doll. The sink in the bathroom was so small. If I stretched out my hand, I could almost touch the wall walls of the sink.

I would never stay here again, or recommend it to anyone.

Tetszetős , szép épület , újra itt szállnánk meg .
Pros:

Központi helyen , közel a nevezetességek hez, parkolási lehetőség . Megőrizte a régi stílust - lift , lépcsőház nagyon szép !

Cons:

A fürdőszobában nem volt polc a személyes dolgoknak . A szobában nem volt hálózati csatlakozás vagy USB a telefon töltéséhez, egy éjjeli szekrény volt . Környék vegyes összetételű emberekből áll , a sétához nem mindegy , hogy merre indulunk el - kilépve a szállóból balra jobb környékre jutunk . Úgy tapasztaltuk , hogy San Francisco - ban sok ilyen környék van .

Bonne adresse, je recommande.
Pros:

Très bon emplacement. Chambre agréable, propre, fonctionnelle. Personnel courtois.

Le petit déjeuner était moyen, mais ce n'est pas l'essentiel.
Un parking gratuit serait un plus.

Cons:

Unfortunately, my experience did not match what I expected from the hotel, especially after booking what they call the penthouse suite.

My biggest issue was the parking and valet situation. Valet costs $67 per night, but there is no dedicated attendant waiting outside. There are only about two or three spaces available for arriving vehicles, and everyone has to go inside and speak with the single person working at the front desk. That person may already be helping guests check in, so the entrance quickly becomes crowded.

Each time I needed my car, the hotel had to call the valet, and it took approximately 15 minutes for the vehicle to arrive. The wait itself was not my biggest concern, but for $67 per night, I expected a smoother and more convenient process. The valet also stops operating after 10 p.m., meaning you are on your own if you return later. Guests should plan their days carefully because quickly leaving for lunch, running an errand, returning, and then heading back out is much less convenient than it would be at a typical full service hotel.

My second major concern was the condition of the penthouse suite. I paid approximately $250 per night, so I understand that this was not an extremely expensive luxury suite. However, the photos felt somewhat misleading compared to the room I received. There were dirty footprints inside the jacuzzi, which made me uncomfortable using it.

The shower also had extremely low water pressure. The water was hot, but it barely flowed from the shower heads. There was visible calcium buildup, and the shower heads appeared to be long overdue for replacement. The most concerning part was that, once the water began collecting, a significant amount of long hair came up from the drain and began floating around the tub. I do not have long hair, so it was clearly left behind from a previous guest.

Those were the biggest issues during my stay. The parking setup and cleanliness of the bathroom made the experience feel less comfortabl

Pros:

Die Lage ist prima, fußläufig zu Chinatown und Unique Suare.

Cons:

Zu kleine Zimmer, kein warmes Wasser am letztes Abend bis zur Abreise am nächsten Morgen. Parkplätze sind angeblich verfügbar und müssen nicht reserviert werden, beim Einchecken teilte man uns mit, dass keine Parkplatz frei ist. Der Frühstücksraum ist viel zu klein.
