Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was decent overall. The rooms were clean, but I could hear everything my neighbors did and said. However, it seemed like they were actively addressing the room conditions, which was reassuring. On the downside, it felt like the rooms had not been thoroughly checked in a while.
My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms were comfortable and clean, making it a great place to relax after attending a major conference in town. The service had some ups and downs, with friendly staff during check-in but some issues with knowledge and professionalism. The location was ideal, within walking distance of key tourist attractions and with easy access to transportation. The dining experience was mixed, with high prices but a flexible check-out policy. The facilities provided were satisfactory.
I had a fantastic stay at the hotel, enjoying breathtaking panoramic views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, and the city. The rooms were missing some amenities like Bluetooth speakers and faster Wi-Fi, but the view made up for it. The service was generally friendly, although there were some issues with extra charges and unimpressive attention to details. The location was convenient for most tourist spots, but could have been closer to Union Square. The dining experience was expensive with limited options, but the flexibility on check-out time was appreciated.
My stay at the hotel was exceptional. The rooms were spacious with a walk-in closet and a large bathroom, offering a beautiful view and ultimate comfort. The marble bathroom was a highlight.
The hotel offers spacious rooms with great quality furniture, large closets for all our luggage, and beautiful wide halls and stairways that we preferred over the elevator. The service was exceptionally helpful and accommodating, from storing our baggage to arranging quick taxi services. The location, while a little removed from nearby restaurants, was convenient for our short stay and provided a safe and pleasant experience. The dining experience, especially the breakfast buffet, was a perfect way to start the day with family. Overall, a historic gem in central San Francisco.
The hotel offers nice, large rooms with great quality furniture, despite appearing a bit dated. The small window looking out onto a wall and the mostly useless mini-bar are minor drawbacks. The location is great for exploring on foot, though it may require some uphill walking to reach popular tourist spots. The service is exceptional, ensuring all expectations are met, even during peak times. Dining options may be limited and somewhat pricey, but there are local alternatives nearby.
The hotel has clean and comfortable rooms, although they smelt strongly of cannabis due to previous occupants. The service was polite and efficient, though a bit slow in response. The location is convenient for exploring Chinatown and other tourist spots. The dining options were excellent, but the absence of in-room amenities like Bluetooth speakers and slow Wi-Fi were noted.
Staying at the hotel was amazing, very comfortable, and a getaway on its own. The service was friendly and very helpful, although some staff could be more professional. The location was ideal, with easy access to San Francisco attractions but not convenient for restaurants. The dining experience was perfect for family mornings but a bit pricey. Overall, a great place to stay.
I must say, the hotel was a mixed bag. The rooms were spectacular, clean, airy, and with a view to die for, but the thin walls allowed the loud drunk neighbors to disrupt my sleep from 4:00 am until 6:30 am.
