Great hotel with breakfast included
3-night trip

8/10

Very clean hotel. Central location. Tiny bathroom and small room (no A/C but not ready needed ). Daily room service and very friendly staff. Overall not a bad place to stay. There is no hotel parking but a parking garage is across the street for $40/day.

Property was very convenient and quiet, would definitely stay here again.

8/10

Surprisingly well appointed rooms. It’s a very old building, but I loved the Steines of all the furniture and the cute old-fashioned. Caged elevator was a hoot. Very clean and comfortable.

Hotel is nice, breakfast was the same the 4 days we were there! Staff very friendly But the key point of this hotel: location is perfect! Easy access to all the important places of San Francisco by walk, fully recommended
4-night trip

8/10

Lovely but felt more like a bed&breakfast than a hotel. Staff were friendly and helpful and breakfast was good, including eggs and sausages. Is not wheelchair friendly, otherwise is a cozy place located not too far from the main downtown shopping areas.
5-night trip

This is a convenient location, and relatively quiet. It is a good place for a budget visitor. For business people, this facility is a bit old.

Great hotel, clean and awesome themed decorations
1-night trip

6/10

This place is pretty old and cheaply finished. Everything about the room felt outdated, cheap, and well used. The decor was terrible as well as it wanted to be “cute French” but need tremendous updates to be that.

Charming hotel with lovely, French detailing, perfectly located near San Francisco's Union Square.

From the welcome by super polite receptionist to amazing guy,who had hot breakfast under control…our stay was flawless 🙂
2-night trip

8/10

Location was perfect, walked everywhere from Union Square, Chinatown, North Beach, Ferry Building, Caltrain and even to Fisherman’s Wharf. You need your key fob to enter hotel which made me feel safe. Staff were lovely and hotel was cute. It’s old so don’t expect posh and high tech. Breakfast was decent and enough to get you through to lunch. Bread, eggs, cereal, occasionally bacon and ham, coffee and tea. Elevator was old school. Loved it. I would stay again.

I enjoyed my stay at this hire. The staff was very friendly and the hotel had a chic French vibe which I loved.
2-night trip

10/10

Quaint hotel with a lot of character. The 24/7 hotel was great, professional and friendly. The free continental breakfast was very good, and it's worthwhile.to stay just for the antique elevator. That said, rooms are very old and I had to leave the window open to get rid of the dusty smell. This did not bother me at all.

Súper cute property, very clean and wonderful staff! I will definitely come back!
