Good location - 3 star experience
The hotel is very well located nearby the famous tram lines of San Francisco. The decor is a bit dated just like the whole hospitality experience but I didn't mind that. The elevator is really cute. The only thing that really bothered me was the lingering smell of vommit in the building. At least the room didn't have that.

Great location, warn property
The staff was very service oriented, friendly and helpful. The property itself was a bit more warn and rugged than shown in the pictures and many of the reviews. The breakfast was very basic and the second morning was delayed by an hour and a half due to the fridge being out of order. Location was great very close to Union Square and all the high end shops.

This hotel is walking distance to Chinatown and during the day, felt safe enough. But the walls are very thin! You can hear people walking and other things...I was surprised to see a few kids staying there considering how thin the walls are. The beds, floors, appliances...everything looks very old. Shabby chic? Nice breakfast included with the stay and friendly staff.

Couldn't fault.
Our fifth visit to SF and an excellent hotel. Rooms, like most of the older buildings are slightly smaller than most US hotels/motels (but similar to UK or Europe rooms). Service was A M A Z I N G. From Claire (?) on the front desk to housekeeping and the gentleman on breakfast. Each and everyone was genuinely passionate about our stay and service. WiFi was good. Breakfast was excellent with bacon, sausage and egg + pastries and bread (weirdly no cereal). Area was good in location - handy for Union Sq, but without the noise. Coffee, water available in foyer and room. Room and hotel in great condition. A++

The hotel has a great story behind how it came to have the decor and into the current ownership. It was really convenient for all the sights and public transport. Staff were friendly and helpful and couldn’t do enough. Breakfast was included and was good.

no AC but also no airflow, like no ceiling fan and air was just muggy and stagnant. room was really dusty which made me sick, also i think there could have been mold too. especially with no airflow, wasnt the best stay since i was sneezing constantly

Love the old world charm,wasn't too thrilled with the slow draining sink or the broken toilet seat. Breakfast was delicious, but would have been better if they had a variety of tea or even an English Breakfast tea for those of us in need of a little caffeine .
