Amazing stay!
Alex, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Worth what you pay

Hotel was nice but hate paying for parking but....it is what it is.
Francisco, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Valet parking was easy and fast but expensive at $55 the breakfast vouchers that we received because we were checked into the wrong room initially provided only a limited breakfast of eggs toast potatoes and a meat choice. The Rooftop Bar was great the service was good and the rooms were okay also.
Fred, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great little spot. Will visit again. Only negative is how slow their elevator is, especially since they only have 1 in the lobby. They do have a second one if you’re not on the top floor.
Teresa, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Overall very good, except for slow lobby elevator and slow drain in bathtub.

Great location. Walking distance to Little Italy and the bay.
Francisco, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

It was a nice hotel the room was just very small. It was nice cause it was near little Italy. But the parking was incredibly expensive. We paid $110 for 2 days. Also we booked this hotel for the pool and when we saw the pool it was so small. Definitely disappointed.
Monique, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Walkable to Little Italy and downtown piers.
Gary, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Parking is by valet only and very expensive. Rooms have outdoor entry, which I did not notice from the photos. While the room was redone and very clean, I would have liked that to be more obvious from the photos. It's a safe neighborhood, but the corridors are quite dark at night.
Elizabeth, 2-night trip

FRANK, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice choice if you don’t want to spend a lot.

Very nice boutique hotel. Staff was friendly the hotel was clean, bar was open late enough to grab a drink after the game and it’s 1 block up from the Little Italy strip with tons of restaurants and places to grab a drink. We walked to Petco park, it’s a pretty decent distance maybe 20-25 min walk, but doable to avoid paying an outrageous price for parking near the stadium.

While the hotel, in general, was average, the location made up for it. Right in the heart of little Italy with endless dining and shopping options.
Devi, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Parking was way too expensive $55 a night. Our room had no air conditioning and their c/c machine weren’t working. Front desk was very rude, trying to blame us (our bank) for the problem when we tried to use 7 different credit cards (5 different banks)
Mari, 1-night trip

Great property great location
Yanik, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

This place went to hell and is now dated and dirty. The front desk people are nice but they’re a crew in charge of a sinking ship
Anthony, 2-night trip

Decent quality and cleam
kevin, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Convenient to Little Italy and walking distance to Embarcadero. Rooms were dated and bedding sub-par. Restaurant/bar was just ok. But overall, decent value.
