We had a lovely stay. We loved the European feel of the hotel. The rooms were small, but very nicely furnished. The staff was so kind and helpful, we were very pleased with our hotel choice. It is within walking distance of Union Square which suited us perfectly. I would recommend this hotel.

I booked this hotel after I read the reviews given my prior guests but when I got to the hotel I got one issue after another. When I arrived to the hotel around 10 pm , the girl at the front desk couldn’t find my reservation even when I provided her the confirmation code and passport, when she finally found it , she gave me the room key to a room that was already occupied. I went back to the front desk and got another room. When I got in , not only the safety box was broken but the shower and bed cover were rags . After a long flight from Taiwan to San Francisco I was too tired to go back to the front desk again to address the issue . I only wanted to rest , something that I was not able to do because the mattress was hard. The following day after I ate breakfast which by the way was surprisingly good the lights went off apparently due to electrical outage in the area which I understand it was out of the control so I decided to do an early check out and even though the manager was at the lobby at the time of the check out he didn’t offered an apology or any time of compensation for the issue . Very disappointed

Great Location. Clean and wonderful staff. The breakfast was adequate. Valet service for our vehicle was excellent but expensive. Not the best area of S.F., but not the worst. Lots of homeless around but they didn't really bother us. 615am on Saturday, lots of banging from industrial type shop across the street from our room (#415) Woke me up. Get a room on the opposite side if you can.
