Great location, friendly staff

Pros: The hotel is half a block from Union Square, with lots of food and shopping near by. We were even able to walk to the MOMA and Yerba Buena Gardens. The room was small but had everything we needed. Beds were pretty comfy and everything was clean. Only complaint is that the walls are fairly thin, so you can hear hallway noise pretty clearly.

Pros: Location was great. The staff was welcoming and the furnishings were up to date and very trendy. Reminded me of when I lived in a trendy loft in the city.

Cons: The bathroom was oddly configured and there was one elevator which was painfully slow.

Pros: Staff & location were excellent. Nice, older hotel - not crowded, had character. Great value, quiet. Very comfortable beds.

Cons: No air conditioning. Asked for a fan to be brought to the room and it was there in seconds.

Really Great Hotel

Pros: Travelling as a solo female. Stayed in numerous hotels over the years in San Francisco. But this one is definitely one of my favourites. Ideal location by the stores in Union Square. Friendly Staff. Good sized, Clean Up to date room. Would certainly stay here again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to others. Great hotel

Pros: Hotel staff was extremely helpful and nice and provided excellent service. Centrally located, it was perfect for attending a conference at the Moscone center.

Cons: Price is high, but it is centrally located in San Francisco, shower head would not allow adjustment, ceiling fan did not come on

Hotel lost my reservation, moved me to worse one.

Pros: Concierge was nice and gracious, though I got moved to a crummy sister hotel and didn't realize I was accepting this change AT THE FULL PRICE I PAID.

Cons: Hotel lost my reservation and my options were cancel and get a refund, but then be forced to book a new stay during a busy weekend in SF, or get moved to a disgusting hovel nearby. When I asked for a discount, the hotel wouldn't relent because I "accepted" the move. The other hotel was disgusting. Kayak was ZERO help. Kayak pushes their hotel search even ahead of their airlines, but when I talked about this issue, I was told to contact the hotel. Thanks.
