Very nice stay in heart of SF... we attended a show at the SF Playhouse, which is in the same building as the hotel. Could not have been more convenient! Also had a great dinner at Fino Italian Restaurant just down the street.

Well located in Union Square. The rooms are nice and both the bed and bedding are very comfortable. The room smells a bit musty, but other than that we had a nice stay.

I absolutely adored this hotel! From the gorgeous lobby to the nostalgic elevators and the friendly staff, I would absolutely book it again if I ever visited San Francisco in the future. Our room was a little small so we couldn't get pass each other between the bed and the desk which was a little annoying, and there wasn't anywhere to put your toiletries - but the overall experience more than made up for the minor inconvenience. Thank you for the complimentary morning coffee and Sherry! We had a wonderful time.
