    The location is brilliant. We walked from there to Fisherman's Wharf and Oracle Park and you're steps away from Union Square. For a city centre hotel the staff were really friendly and helpful. They stored our luggage for us from check out until we were ready to leave SF at 5.30. The room wasn't huge but it was comfortable and clean and had everything we needed. The bathroom was good.

    I didn't dislike a thing, but I can say that the furniture is a bit old. special TV, carpet, and switches.

    The location is perfect, being close to Union Square, so you can easily access anywhere by public transportation. The room conveniently has a mini fridge. It also has a bathtub to relax after a busy day

    We were upgraded to a larger room . However there was a strange smell and when we mentioned to the concierge , he kindly let us change to another room in the same part of building . Beautiful room but unfortunately the smell was still there , I don’t know if it was the fresheners that maids use , or because it was in the older part of hotel … couldn’t figure it out but it lingered and our clothes even smelt of it . Other than that , everything was lovely.

    Location was excellent in this hotel with lots of history . We were upgraded to a larger room. Housekeeping great and Towels were changed daily .

    Nothing we didn't like about the hotel however San Francisco is somewhat run down and you needed to have your wits about you when out and about. The poverty within the city is pretty obvious everywhere you go.

    Hotel was in a central location. Staff were friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean. It was great to have access to a heated pool after a day out and about especially as air temp wasn't high.

    It didn't bother us, but the coffee percolator was missing it's glass jug and there was no electric jug for heating water. Hot water was available from the fitness centre though.

    Hotel was very well located, near central city and close to the BART stop (Powell St). The area is busy and safe, but it does border the Tenderloin area which had a large number of homeless people on the pavement and which some visitors may find intimidating (although you need to walk a couple of blocks to get there). While the hotel wing we stayed in was a bit dated, the rooms were of a good size and very quiet with no issues of noised from adjacent rooms and very little noise from the street which our room faced out onto (we were on the 7th floor though). The beds were excellent, firm without being hard and very comfortable. Shower and water pressure was also very good (although was a shower over a bath). Staff were very friendly and helpful. The fitness centre was small and basic but adequate with two treadmills, two cross trainers and a small collection of free weights. Not that we used it, but the hotel also had a good looking swimming pool which was heated and a sauna (which you needed to make a booking for). The hotel offered great value for money in comparison to other places around the central city.

    The area is very seedy. Didn't feel safe it at night, not the fault of the hotel. Avoid the Tenderloin region at all costs!Shower in room could do with an upgrade.

    It was central for Union Square. Well lit at night so you could access it feeling safe. Lots of cafes and eateries close by. Right next to high end fashion shops and trams. Pool at the hotel was lovely, clean and warm. Plenty of seating.
