I stayed at this gem in the heart of downtown San Fran as part of my birthday trip on the West Coast. Everything was excellent about my stay here from the cleanliness, the beautiful historic decor, convenience and closeness to restaurants/attractions. If I'm ever in the area, I'm definitely coming back!

Great stay! We found this place last year when our usual hotel was full, and it’s become a favorite. Clean, convenient, and comfortable even without AC — the ceiling fan worked great in October. Loved the free cookies, popcorn, water and coffee! There are some friendly staffs too. Just wish they’d update the elevator. Will definitely stay again next year!
