The rooms were clean, and the housekeeping staff were friendly. Also, the bathrooms were clean and quaint.

Ryan, United States of America

Turn of the century charm in downtown San Francisco with easy access to all activities. Rooms are comfortable, quiet and maintained.

Paul, United States of America

The staff is great and very helpful. We had few problems and they help right away. The prize is good but it is a honey trap.

רפאל, Israel

My partner requested roses in the room upon arrival and they successfully accomplished that.

Martha, United States of America

Excellent professional staff. Historic building with tons of character. Central location close to festival I was attending. Easy walking access to Hayes Valley shopping, Chinatown, Union Square, etc. Some good amenities close by.

John, Canada

Staff were nice. Good location, short drive to popular locations.

Jenan, Australia

The location was ok for transportation connection.

_amon_, Japan

We loved the meals and staff. We had breakfast and dinner several times.

Richard, United States of America

Just 2 min walk from Civic Center BART station. However, BART train service rather poor, long Q for ticketing at airport, train always delay, not operating on Sunday till 8 am. Walking distance to Powell Cable Car Station, worth taking a ride though again long Q. Best view point for Golden Gate Bridge at Battery Spencer. Uber there to watch sunset, you won't be disappointed.

Ho, Singapore

Convenient location near opera, symphony, and civic center. Historic hotel.

“Not the experience we were hoping for!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Standard Double Room with Two Double Beds
- • Stayed 2 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
눉The hotel was "booked" and they did not have enough personnel. The air conditioning in the room was not working and even dough they lowered our rate, it took them 3 hours to figure it out. The manager was very unprofessional and we had to get very upset for him to start helping us with the issue. I have to say, the staff at the front desk were the ones that helped the most and made it seem like they were frustrated with the situation too. The lobby and common areas were dirty and poorly maintained. Wifi did not work but at the lobby. Out of the 6 elevators only 1 was working, we had to use the stairs from the 7th floor at check out. Unfortunately not the stay we were hoping for, definitely not staying there again.
