“Needs Help!!!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • Standard Double Room with Two Double Beds
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉There was no refrigerator or coffee machine in the room and the TV didn't work. The bathroom was very uncomfortable the way it was set up, I kept thinking I was going to bang my head on the sink when I was using the toilet. The halls were extremely creepy,( I kept thinking I was going to see the 2 little girls from the movie "Shining" rolling down the halls) the entire hotel needs a major facelift. New carpets, more lighting etc. It could be magnificent if they would just fix it up a little. The homeless in the area is also a big problem, but there's not much they can do about that.
눇The location was great, the architecture of the building is beautiful, BUT!

눉The place was kind of creepy, they really need to add more lights in the hallways, replace the carpet and paint the walls. There was no coffee machine in the room and the TV didn't work. I was pretty dissappointed in the hotel, we ended up switching hotels for the rest of our trip.
눇The location was good

눉The hotel is very old and need a lot of maintenance and upgrade . WiFi in our room was not working . The Noise in the room from the road was quite annoying. Wait time for the lifts during peak times was too much luckily enough we were on second floor hence used Statirs.
눇The Starbucks on the site .. The proximity to Shopping areas and Public Transportation. The Concierge was very helpfull

“Very disappointing!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Standard Queen Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
눉Hotel is described as "historic " , not sure if that means tight quarters and in poor condition Lighting was poor. Toilet didn't work properly, parking was additional $40/day and virtually super tight roll away bed was extremely uncomfortable. All this on top of the fact that the messed up our reservation and we ended up with one queen bed for three people instead of two like I originally requested. On the second day they did provide us with a room with two queen beds free of charge which I thought was only fair. Overall the rooms and bathroom are extremely tight and uncomfortable for the price and I had never stayed anywhere where parking for guests was extra Very disappointing to trabel so far and feel so uncomfortable
눇Staff was friendly

“Not value for money.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • Standard Queen Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
눉The standard of the room, particularly the bathroom did not reflect the cost of staying in the hotel. The room was very cold, and the heating/cooling system would not adjust. The WiFi was unreliable. The location is good in terms of closeness to key areas of interest (a short walk), but it is not the nicest of areas to walk through.
눇Hotel staff were professional and friendly. Very smart foyer.

눉We called this property to tell them we were bringing two 16yr olds and asked if this was a great location in relation to Fisherman's Wharf..it is not close to the Wharf..the people "outside" the hotel are questionable it is a very dirty area lots of trash..uber doesn't feel comfortable picking up there. Management resolved our issue and did their job. I just would say don't bring "kids " here. Also if your goal is Fisherman's Wharf you should pick closer than the arts district.

눉The location is horrible. It is in a scary part of San Francisco, surrounded by homeless. We saw multiple people shooting up heroin right outside the hotel.
눇The staff was very kind and friendly. It had a "Tower of Terror" vibe--which we thought was cool.
