Roy United States of America

This is a perfect hotel for a single traveler with no car. Very, very good location. A cool walk down to peir 33 and 39. The front desk staff were so nice.

Gabriel United States of America

location and friendly and helpful front staff. Louis was especially helpful

Jadie United States of America

The location next to union square was awesome the old historic feel added to the experience.

Williams United States of America

I did not know they had breakfast. I think they said they had coffee in the lounge

Susan United States of America

The property is beautiful and uniquely decorated, the rooms are small but very very nice.

Quincy United States of America

The hotel was well located near two metro stations (with the BART service to the airport). There were shops and many options for restaurants and cafes around the hotel. Chinatown was within a walking distance and the tram to Fisherman's Wharf was just around the corner.

Fernando United Kingdom

I am giving this a good score because the staff at the property were very nice especially the lady staff, she made the guest feel comfortable, I was traveling alone and this hotel located downtown SF which is kind of scary, but being treated so good made me feel secure and happy! excellent customer service

Elizabeth United States of America

Location, price, comfort, safe environment, kindness of staff

Thomas United States of America

Great location, within walking distance to Chinatown, and if you're interested in the exercise, it's a 20 minute walk to the Harbor! The hotel as well is a 105 years old, management did great in upgrading the room's interior, but you can still see a lot of the hotel's history and is very quaint. The staff is SUPER FRIENDLY and is always present to help out. Their customer service is phenomenal!
