The hotel was nice for being an older hotel, you could tell there was some history there. When I arrived Jamil (sorry if I spelled that wrong) was great, friendly and he answered all my questions and was helpful and informative.

This is an historical hotel, yet it had just the right amount of modern amenities. Staff was great, convenient to the bart, as I came in from SFO. Very clean, and I liked sleeping with my window open, listening to the city sounds. Stayed four nights and I'd book again. Fridge. Keurig coffee pot

The bed was super comfy with a down comforter & down pillows. There was lots of drawer space, and a huge old enamel bathtub - great for a hot soak after being on my feet all day! The front desk staff were very friendly and courteous as well.

Liked: Staff & service
Great location near the theater district and the moscone center. Great staff but aging building, super thin walls, and the bed/pillows were soft. In addition the bathroom had a tiny sink and crooked toilet that was hard to sit on without hitting your knee on the side wall. The king room itself was a good size with a huge walk in closet. Good price for San Francisco.
