I would definitely stay here again
Pros:

A very nice boutique hotel. The room was large and comfortable, with a great fireplace and big windows. The wine and nibbles in the afternoon, as well as the all-day coffee and tea were a great bonus.

Fabulous.
Pros:

An oasis in the middle of the city. Quaint and quirky in a nice way. Something different from the mainstream. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Old fashioned hospitality. We loved the lounge/ dining area and the after five drinks and nibbles. A lovely touch. Rooms were well appointed.

Cons:

Nothing. A lovely place to stay. Different but nice. Definitely a place we would stay again

Pros:

Comfortable, classy fun room and inn. Fireplace is nice touch. Bed is awesome, best sleep ever. Leon is wonderful, works so hard, so friendly. Love the location, we walk to everything. Walked to all our favorite restaurants, shopping, our concert at The Masonic.

Cons:

No longer a "spread" at happy hour, just a staff person serving a tiny cheese plate and glass of wine. Bump up the breakfast as it used to be...quiche, sausage, bacon, nicer pastries. Covid is over, bring it all back. We skipped it all. Valet parking is crazy expensive now (used to be $30/nite, now $78/$88!). We parked ourselves in a very near garage.

Pros:

Had a wonderful stay at the White Swan Inn, but I especially want to thank Cody for being incredibly kind and helpful on my checkout day. He let me comfortably stay in the lounge area for several hours while waiting for my flight, which made the end of my San Francisco trip so much easier and stress-free. Great hospitality, great attitude, and truly appreciated. Thank you, Cody!

WONDERFUL!
Pros:

The breakfast was good and what we expected from a continental breakfast. The room was GREAT! It was spacious, bed was comfortable, and the fireplace was the icing on the cake! Could not have asked for a better, central location!

Cons:

No complaints about anything!

Super slightly quirky design but comfortable
Pros:

Good location slightly away from the main tourist route but close enough. Quirky style which we really liked.

Séjour incroyable à SF dans ce superbe petit hôtel.
Pros:

Le confort, le côté cosy et à taille humaine, la gentillesse du personnel et le vin/ fromage offert chaque soir, quel bonheur!

Cons:

L odeur de marihuana parfois ds les couloirs.. légaliser aux States donc cela venait peut être de dehors mais c était quand même particulier 😅. Pas dans les chambres donc ça va!

Pros:

The size of the room, working fireplace, king size bed, bath products, the location, & free wine & cheese hour.

Cons:

The cleanliness level wasn't great. Lots of dust, grime, and marks in the room. Felt like the whole place was a bit shabby tbh. The "breakfast" was pathetic. For one it was cheap cereal, cheap(ish) pastries, some oatmeal, lumpy yogurt, and hard boiled eggs every morning. No other continental offerings like cold meats, cheeses, fruit or anything for those with allergies. It just seemed like they were doing the cheapest and bare minimum they could & still make it passable.
