Dining options are basic but satisfactory, and the facilities are well-maintained.
The hotel rooms were quite new and comfortable, perfect for San Francisco. Despite some rooms facing a run-down building with no view, the ambiance was quiet and peaceful. The service ranged from grumpy encounters to exceptional assistance, notably from the General Manager and housekeeping staff like Mirna.

The hotel is situated in a quiet neighborhood near the famous crooked street on Lombard, making it a great base for exploring and taking tours. The staff, while lacking experience, was courteous and knowledgeable about the area. The dining mainly consisted of pastries, fruit, and cereals, offering a good variety until 9 am, with some local pastries and fruits available.
The hotel was large but not comfortably furnished and a bit on the old side, with rooms that felt cramped for a family of four. The service was unimpressive for breakfast, but they did rectify some issues the next day. The location was well situated for exploring various attractions, and the dining options were limited, especially in the small lobby area. Overall, the hotel offers a reasonable value for the price paid.

The hotel is located close to major attractions like Fisherman's Wharf and great restaurants, making it convenient for exploring San Francisco. The rooms comfortably accommodated three people but were small and lacked adequate supplies for a family of 5. The service varied from impersonal to incredibly helpful, with some issues pertaining to check-in. The on-site dining was decent but not exceptional, offering basic options. Overall, the hotel provides a good value for those looking for a central location in the city.
My stay at the hotel was delightful. The cozy rooms were affordable, quiet, and conveniently located near attractions and transit. Breakfast options were somewhat limited, lacking cooked items like toast, but the calm ambiance made up for it. The staff were fabulous and very helpful, even assisting with early morning car moves. The hotel's location was perfect for my weekend plans, close to major travel opportunities, although it could use some renovations. The dining experience, while disorganized and cramped, offered good selections, and the facilities were adequate for my needs.
The hotel had enough beds for four of us when we had booked for five, which was a bit inconvenient, and the street noise from traffic made it very loud. However, the room provided a good set of bath amenities, and the iron with board was handy for my needs.
The hotel had a 1950s feeling and atmosphere, with some noise from the icemaker in the hallway and limited parking. The staff seemed tired, and the whole place appeared old and shabby. The rooms were average and nothing special, in need of modernization as they felt dated. There was a bit of a stale smell, but they were clean.
