Good size rooms and beds. Nice and effective cleaning staff. Our room was always cleaned to perfection in a short time. Though the parking on-site is way overpriced, the valet service is very friendly and courteous. Our daughters enjoyed playing "Ghost's hunters" in the hotel for 4 nights. We warmly recommend the restaurant around the corner "Cadillac grill" which has amazing Mexican food and cocktails at good prices. They even accommodate special requests for picky teenagers .

The hotels bell boys were very helpful indeed, we travelled with bicycles on our honeymoon and they helped cater for all our needs. Adjoined restaurant and Grill was very nice for food and drink and was very handy to have a starbucks adjoined also.

Lovely old building with some beautiful architectural features.

Short walk to many great stuff to do in SF including scenery dining and craft bars

Kim, Denmark

it's the neighborhood. that section of market street is under development and all of the local drug addicts and crazies are lingering in the blocks around the hotel. we saw exchanges and junkies actually shotting up in daylight on the side walk. It's terrifying.

Jeremy, United States of America

The staff was very nice and accommodating, the rooms were very clean, and the beds were super comfortable. Its within walking distance to many things in san francisco and a short drive from other things.

Charlee, United States of America

Right on Market Street and a block from Civic center.

The food was good but the waiter needed to improve his personal skills in dealing with with his customers

눉Staff violated my rights protected by the ADA. I was discriminated against due to my registered service animal. My partner and I were locked out of our room by staff and had no other option but to find a new room at midnight. I have filed complaints with the ADA as well as the BBB. You should no longer recommend this hotel.

“Not staying here ever again”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Standard Double Room with Two Double Beds
- • Stayed 4 nights
눉The hotel is very run down, but if you like historical places or "The shinning" movie, maybe this is your place. Staff at the front desk/reception are not friendly, not helpful or accommodating at all (this may be my personal impression, I'm only a PhD in psychology: they don't seem to enjoy their job). The location is terrible. We wanted to leave the hotel 10 minutes after check-in. Nearby streets and parks are full of homeless people and drug addicts. I know that various reviews warn guests about some homelessness around but I imagined there would be 5-6 beggars on the block. I don't exaggerate if I say there were around 100 homeless/ drug addicts in the same street including the park in the corner. At night some prostitution is added to the picture. We didn't feel safe or relaxed when walking around the hotel. Not recommended for honey moon, single travellers or families with kids.
눇Good size rooms and beds. Nice and effective cleaning staff. Our room was always cleaned to perfection in a short time. Though the parking on-site is way overpriced, the valet service is very friendly and courteous. Our daughters enjoyed playing "Ghost's hunters" in the hotel for 4 nights.

눉The Hotel was fine albeit a bit dark in the bedrooms but outside of the hotel and surrounding area there are a very large amount of homeless people including drugs on the streets, which is certainly no fault of the hotel but is certainly a big problem in itself, would be even more of a problem if travelling with a young family.
눇The hotels bell boys were very helpful indeed, we travelled with bicycles on our honeymoon and they helped cater for all our needs. Adjoined restaurant and Grill was very nice for food and drink and was very handy to have a starbucks adjoined also.
