This is a classic luxury hotel one block from Union Square. It is cozy and comfortable. Next-door is "Sears Fine Dining" restaurant with a nice breakfast, but go early on the weekends because the lines are long. I had a room with a view of Union Square on the 10th floor. Built more that 100 years ago, the place has a nice atmosphere.

It was my husbands 50th birthday and on arrival there was complimentary champagne and a ballon in the room

Sharon Canada

Great location. Easy walk to Pier 39 and Fisherman’s Wharf.

The location, snacks & hot beverages free of charge all day, the size of the room.

Yeldes United States of America

Very nice and clean hotel with friendly staff with comfortable rooms. The location right at Union Square couldn't be better and also give great access to public transportation. Free coffee and fruit all day was a nice surprise.
