The hotel was quiet. The rooms were clean. The space was very nice.

Cynthia United States of America

We booked this hotel for one night. We had an evening wedding to attend in SF and needed a place to stay since we have a 5 month old. This was perfect for us! Such a perfect location right in the middle of downtown. Walgreens next door, it has breakfast and snacks. Our baby is super sensitive to new/unfamiliar places, but as soon as we entered our room she felt like home! Rooms are clean and cozy. Great place overall.

Tatyana United States of America

The room was very clean and comfortable. The staff was very friendly. The location was very good.

Sheya United States of America

Location is amazing. Comfortable and clean little room in a prime location. Easy access to city tours and many restaurants

Farah Jordan

This was a really good deal. Great location and excellent room for the three of us. I wish we could stay here on our return but it’s booked out :(

Robert Brazil

The hotel is very good located, clean and convenient. There is Walgreen shop just next door where you can buy things to eat at anytime of the day cause they never close.

Chi Vietnam

The location was great for shopping. Restaurants, bars and late night drinks within walking distance. Staff were so fun and attentive. It was clean and cozy. The hotel itself has its own history. Loved the red brick walls and the nostalgic pieces in the room, made me feel like I was actually living in the city. Amenities are provided.

Nicole United States of America

Breakfast not included, but offered a discount breakfast at the Bartlett less than 5 mins away

Ronald United States of America

Great location near Union Square. Nice historic building.

Isaac United States of America

Great location and a lot to do around. The hotel itself was a great experience and very quiet, clean, not cluttered like most hotels, and spacious. I would come again.

Ivan United States of America

Excellent location!
