Cas LemmensFebruary 11, 2015Stayed here for one night. Cute rooms, all accommodations I needed and very clean and cosy. Hotel has a beautiful story and personality. Would like to stay here longer if I could.
New management. Not a best Western. Staff great. Small but pretty. A cool place...not cookie cutter. No pool or gym. No vending. Will bring ice to you. Great cupcakes each night. Rate cannot be beat.
IanMay 19, 2013If you're in the north side of the building (room ends in 10-15 or so) you will hear LOUD bar noise until roughly 2:30am. Ask to be on the 7th floor interior and the windows are a bit newer.
Tara NienaberNovember 15, 2014This place was cool! Pineapple cupcakes in the lobby, scented soap, lotion,body wash in the bathrooms!
to get to candlestick head to van ness & take the 77x. the concierge only recommend a cab which is fine if you go early but on the way back the fare would tick away while your stuck in traffic.
Stuart TaylorAugust 9, 2014Rooms are clean and tidy. For breakfast head left out of the hotel down to either the grand cafe or the pinecrest diner
Chris PatheigerNovember 18, 2011Best value hotel in San Fran for business or pleasure. Stylish, cost effective and steps to Union Square.
Andre RicciardiMay 31, 2010I've heard that you can check out anytime you like, but actually leaving is a whole different story.
Bob OshellApril 14, 2012It's urban economical. Probably owned by Nancy Pelosi. You don't know what your getting till you read the bill.
Never thought to ask if rooms had A/C? Well this hotel doesn't, and I partially feel duped. Other than that basic room is tiny. But a great price other than that!
Go to the daily wine & cheese reception between 5 & 6pm on the mezz
Parker LewisJanuary 1, 2012Busiest day of year - New Year's Eve - and their elevator isn't working. 5th Floor room.
Poor customer service, shades aint working, shower doesnt work properly, And had to ask if roomkeeping was coming, cause they hadnt been there all day. Biggest letdown ever, dont sleep here!!!!!!
- This hotel has the worst customer service ever! I can't recommend it even to my worst enemy.
Guillermo González UriarteDecember 14, 2011Tequila al hacer al registrarse y todos los dias de 5 a 6y30 queso y vino gratis!
