Easy to explore
Rooms are fairly tight and not a lot of space but the beds are comfortable and well put together. Could use an update of the tubs as they feel old and super small.
The location is fantastic. Close to so many great spots and very walkable.

Stay away
The hotel was run down and dirty. Needs an update badly. Tiny rooms, poor AC didn't keep the room cool, even on a cool night.

Nice Stopover
For a one-night visit to SF for a family event, it was very nice. Easy to get to, check in was breeze, room was very good, everything as advertised. The lack of parking was an added cost but I new it going in.

Great stay
We’ve stayed here before last year and it looks like they’ve done a remodel to the rooms since. We had the one bed and suite and it was very spacious with a nice patio. Hotel staff is very friendly and helpful

Nice little hotel...
Cute hotel, great location - particularly for access to Embarcadero/Ferry Building. The bathrooms are tiny! The sink is in the bedroom, not in the bathroom. I was traveling solo, so it was fine for me - but I think if it was me and my partner, it would be too tight for the 2 of us.

Great place for a quick business trip. I love finding boutique hotels like this that are older, but hip and quite a bit cheaper than the big chains. Would definitely stay here again.
