Friendly staff, not the cleanest bedding
Arrived at the hotel past midnight due to a late flight. The staff was so kind as to keep the door unlocked for my arrival. Got in the room and immediately fell asleep on the bed. Woke up the next morning and realized that my head had been on a blood stained pillow case the entire night. That’s kind of gross, to be quite honest.

Funtime in SF
Very well located in Union Square. Rooms were very nice in clean. There’s a 24 hour café right around the corner if you want a late night food. It can be loud outside at times. Other than that it’s a great place to stay.

This is an awesome historic boutique hotel in the heart of San Francisco, what a find! Reminds me of boutique hotels in NYC in the village. Rooms are small but very well appointed and thoughtfully designed, and huge bonus is windows open and they have screens on them, so you can let that fresh Pacific Ocean breeze in, amazing! Extremely comfy cozy place with wonderful history, walking distance to great restaurants in all directions. I’ll be staying here again.
