"Overall it was a nice stay. We arrived and checked in and went to our room but it was not cleaned. They helped us and upgraded us to a bigger room as courtesy for their error. The staff was all super nice and so was valet. The bed was nice but the shower had little pressure so it was not very eco because more water was wasted trying to rinse. Area was decent for san francisco. The trolley stops in front of the hotel which is convienient. I would stay here again."

"This is our 5th time staying at this hotel. It is a very convenient location in San Francisco to get to lots of different theaters, restaurants, bars, etc, but it generally seems a little bit safer and quieter than the heart of the Tenderloin. The hotel has some great history, the rooms all have lots of character, but are very clean and beds are comfy. Staff is excellent - helpful and friendly, all of them, from front desk to housekeeping. There is a free breakfast of good pastries...
