This is a wonderful boutique hotel. We loved the location, decor, and little coffee shop attached. The cute tables outside were fun to sit at and watch the city wake up. The room was quiet and spacious. This place offered everything we needed for a truly memorable vacation.
The lobby was so fun and funky.
Decor was amazing throughout. The details were very fun and flowed beautifully together.

Good location, easy access to Union Sq and 25 minute walk to Embarcadero. We were on 7th floor but still had a fair amount of street noise every night. Hotel has cool vibe, small format. No breakfast or coffee provided, but small shop next door. Not a fan of $75 to valet, but few options in area. Front desk was friendly and helpful.

Hotel is old but clean and the staff are friendly. Location is great. Close to shopping and lots of restaurants. Hop on, hop off bus tours only a couple of blocks away in Union Square. The rooms and bathrooms are pretty small, as is the closet space. We didn’t have a car so not sure about the hotel parking.
