This will be a definite go-to spot in San Francisco! The staff were awesome, the hotel itself unique, with great decor & amenities, and the location perfect. We loved how clean & well-appointed & quirky / fun it was! The attached cafe made it so that going out first thing in the morning for a coffee wasn’t necessary.

I love this unique hotel. It is cozy and comfortable and the staff is exceptionally helpful. I love that it is unique and not part of a big soulless chain. There can be some noise from the hallway so if that is a concern, ask for a room in the back.
