Unbeatable location in downtown San Francisco - I chose the smallest room option as I was traveling solo and it felt spacious by all means! The bathroom was very high-end. The hotel is fully refurbished all areas though you may be able to hear loud rattling sounds (of the water pipes I believe) at night especially if you are an early sleeper you might find it a bother - but by midnight it was all quiet. For the price, I find this hotel an absolute gem.

Would have liked a parking garage nearby to keep car overnight; however, the staff was nice and very patient. The room was quaint. My only complaint is that the AC is directly under the left side of the bed. The heat and AC work perfectly but from a sleeping position it was kind of awkward. I will for sure stay/recommend to others.
