Stivolles Haus mit Flair
Pros:

Das Haus hat Stil und das Foyer ist wunderschön.
Ausblick auf die Stadt aus unserem Zimmer war toll!

Cons:

Etwas zu viel Verpackung beim Frühstück und etwas zu nah am Tenderloin- Stadtteil.

Pros:

Staff were friendly and pleasant to deal with. Was a nice jester to have wine and cheese and crackers available free in the evening.

Cons:

Very outdated. Noisy and hear the sirens going past all night and during the day. Lift didn't work for 24 hours and didn't help if you were staying on the 8th floor. Dishwasher Liquid didn't get filled up so couldn't do dishes. No tea towel available to dry the dishes. Had to supply our own oil to cook and then had to leave as couldn't take it while flying.
Breakfast was very basic. Cereal would have been nice ad most mornings the pastries were not fresh. Some customers would stock their plates up with the food and take it back to their room.
Bathroom wasn't very clean or room. Lots of dust and fluff on the carpet. Hairs in the shower.

A lovely traditional hotel with great staff just in a poor area.
Pros:

We had a spacious 1 bedroom apartment for 4 of us. Good kitchen and bathroom. Clean. Staff were excellent. Diagonally across the road is an excellent cafe 👍 too

Cons:

Kitchen was very dated and we had no tea towels, I wouldn’t have cooked there. Staff were excellent as was breakfast and afternoon tea (wine, coffee and snacks). Sadly a poor location with lots of homeless people.

Hotel molt ben situat i amb encant
Pros:

La ubicació, la decoració, habitació molt confortable i personal molt amable.

Cons:

Que és impossible dormir sense taps a les oïdes. Tota la nit se senten sorolls de cotxes i sirenes de policia, ambulàncies,...L'esmorzar podria millorar.

Pros:

La habitación

Cons:

La ubicación. Los alrededores de Union Square esta terrible. Sucio y llena de gente que vive en la calle deambulando y drogadictos que parecen zoombies. Uno debe estar esquivandolos. La policía pasa toda la noche con sirenas intentando controlarlos y se los ve defecar en la vía pública. Un desastre como esta San Francisco en comparación con años atrás.
No hay necesidad de ver todo eso, si hay otras ubicación mas tranquilas .

The hotel is good to stay for a few days. Just a weird smell in the reception. There’s a free breakfast but only bread&#
Pros:

Close to town

Cons:

The location is not ideal to walk at night even during the day as there are so many homeless and junkies everywhere.

Hotel con un sapore retró. Le stanza sono eleganti ma sarebbero da rinnovare.
Pros:

Hotel vecchio ma molto bello ed elegante. La posizione è comoda per raggiungere Union Square e il Financial District ma lontana da Fisherman’s Wharf. Colazione discreta anche se composta di tutti prodotti confezionati.

Cons:

La zona purtroppo non è il massimo a causa di senzatetto che si accampano nei pressi della struttura e di notte fanno molta confusione.
