This a cute hotel very well located in Nob Hill. The staff is nice and friendly and helpful. My room was very clean and comfortable and spacious. I loved the decoration, the mirror in the bathroom. The bed is super comfy and the pillows are the best I have ever had. Many places to eat around and the free bus at the entrance of the hotel. The view is amazing in that street, the famous historic Route 66. I definitely recommend this hotel and hope to come back.

We were visiting friends a half block away so this was a great location for us. Route 66 has wonderful shops, cafes, and restaurants within a short walk so there was hardly enough time to check it all out! The room was tasteful and fun. Being on the main street side was not that great noise-wise, but I wore ear plugs, and my wife didn't notice the noise. The keurig did not work but they changed it out within 15 minutes or so of our notification.

The room was clean, bed was hard, and pillows were amazing! One caution- the parking lot is small and the spaces are oddly configured, which makes it tight for any regular sized car. We reserved (paid for) a spot, but when we came back at the end of the day, the lot was full. We mentioned it the next day and were told that they have “decoy cars” (employee cars) and they can move them if you ask.
