We were only staying for one night and the room worked well for our needs. The rooms were a little small but as we weren’t staying long it wasn’t an issue for us. The bathroom was updated and spacious, the beds were comfortable but the pillows were a bit lumpy. There is no AC in the rooms which can be fine when the city is not experiencing a heat wave. The hotel is conveniently located in the union square district. Shelf check in was very easy.

Room and hotel is very clean. The location was excellent too, and the area is safe. However I was surprised there was no mini fridge which was a bummer and couldn’t store my leftovers or snacks. Pretty pricey for what you get, but it’s San Francisco. No A/C either which was fine with the windows open and fan. Probably wouldn’t want to stay here in the summer…
