Shame, could’ve been a very nice stay
They are so strict with the check out time, and only one elevator working, had to wait for more than 5 minutes twice that morning, I requested 20 minutes for check out, after a 4 day stay!!!!

Old but nice hotel. Very friendly and helpful staff. Noisy because the neighboring hotel chain workers were loudly on strike. Good value for the money.

The hotel has a unique lobby, it’s welcoming. The staff are friendly and welcoming.The coffee and biscuits are nice in the morning in the lobby. It’s close to union square, walkable to fisherman’s wharf, but you have to consider the steep hills,china town is walkable.

Very nice stay
Right down the street from Union Square and all the shops and dining one could want or need, this location was perfect for our plan to ‘walk the city’. Everything was in walking distance. The Powell cable car runs half a block away and many your busses left right across the street. Friendly staff, clean room, historical and charming hotel. Zero issues and would stay here again.

The hotel was good, happy with it mostly. Pretty old and dated room, climate control needs to be better. Protesters outside very early each morning. Not the motels fault but not great. Generally a good motel I would stay again.

They tried to charge me 2x
I booked thru hotels.com. I booked Friday thru Sunday I paid the amount on there for the e days. No where do the promote that you have to pay 60 to 80 to park a day. So I checked out Saturday due to an emergency during check out they wanted my card so I can pay the valet which is fine. I get my car setting up navigation and I get a notification that is was charged an extra $300. After I already paid before arriving just a bad exp

Great location. The San Francisco Playhouse theater group is in the same building so this is an excellent place for out of towners who want to enjoy a show. We've seen three of them now, all very enjoyable.
