Although I received an email confirmation that my husband's name was added to my booking so that he can check in separately, he wasn't able to check in. What I appreciate is that after I called the front desk to explain the situation, they corrected it immediately.

Vanessa, United States of America

It was just a good place for a relatively good price - starbucks in the hotel is great too

Mason, United States of America

Hotel was fine overall... a clean bed and bathroom but not much more. I booked it last minute so there was little choice but would never choose it over similar prices offerings in SF.

Daniel, Australia

There truly was an old world charm. The beautiful chandelier in the lobby was gorgeous. Felt cozy, and elegant. The concierge was so friendly. He drew a map for us to our destination, even labeled the train numbers so we wouldn't get lost. The décor of the rooms was charming.

Michele, United States of America

Old fashioned grand hotel, comfy and clean, located well for public transport. Fairly good value for SF

Amanda, United Kingdom

Staff pleasant and helpful. Restaurant had great food.

Valerie, United States of America

The location was great. Right outside of the hotel there is restaurants and public transportation. It's very close to the Capitol, walking distance.

Daniel, United States of America

“Great location, terrible valet, old building”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Standard Queen Room
- • Stayed 1 night
눉The valet experience was terrible. My husband and I were next in line, and waited for twenty minutes until we got our car. What was especially frustrating is that while we were next in line, the valet person took our ticket along with 2 other tickets and brought the other 2 cars out first. I let the valet person know that we were here first, and he shrugged it off saying "no problem no problem" but it was a problem because the cars should have come out in order. I don't understand why there was literally no valets for the first 10 minutes we were there, then all of a sudden there were 4 valets and they didn't take us in order. It was a very frustrating way to end my vacation.
눇Although I received an email confirmation that my husband's name was added to my booking so that he can check in separately, he wasn't able to check in. What I appreciate is that after I called the front desk to explain the situation, they corrected it immediately.

“A disastrous 8 days . A total waste of 2200 dollars. I would not recommend it to anybody.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Standard Double Room with Two Double Beds
- • Stayed 8 nights
눉On arrival we had to wait 30 minutes to check in. One rude man dealing with about 9 customers. Our room was awful, way too small. had to get chair removed to make space. bathroom was woeful, not even room to leave a wash bag in it. Wi fi was terrible to connect to. I asked the same man who checked us in to help me connect to it and he was so rude that i told him,"that is not how you speak to me" and i walked off. We went to breakfast one morning with 15 minutes to spare and was told to hurry up with our order or we would not be served. One woman in the bar had absolutely no manner what so ever. she didn't even say thank you. We had stayed the previous week in the Hyatt Hotel in La Jolla San Diego and it was a fabulous hotel with fabulous staff who couldn't do enough for us.

“Better than nothing.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • Standard Queen Room
- • Stayed 7 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
눉- Free wifi was so weak at the end rooms it was essentially useless - AC in my room rattled all night and took hours to cool down - Ice machines on the three floors around me were almost always empty day and night - 3 days in a row cleaning staff knocked till I woke up despite the DND sign on the door... why have a tag on the door at all if they just wake you up anyway? - Local area of the hotel gets pretty scarey at night with the local houseless population. Geting an uber late at night is highly recommended. Despite that there are some really nice late night small bars within 300m that stay open late.
눇Hotel was fine overall... a clean bed and bathroom but not much more. I booked it last minute so there was little choice but would never choose it over similar prices offerings in SF.

“We loved our stay in the middle of the city. The hotel's charm made the whole experience special!!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Standard King Room
- • Stayed 1 night
눉The bed was not the most comfortable. There seem to be a lot of homeless people on the street, but we really appreciated the extra security measures the hotel took to keep us safe.
눇There truly was an old world charm. The beautiful chandelier in the lobby was gorgeous. Felt cozy, and elegant. The concierge was so friendly. He drew a map for us to our destination, even labeled the train numbers so we wouldn't get lost. The décor of the rooms was charming.
