The on site restaurant and bar had great food and friendly staff. We had two appetizers, burrata and bruschetta and shared spinach ravioli. It was all excellent and the price way reasonable.
The room was small but it was nice and the bed and pillows were comfortable.

Great location, food at the restaurant always a delight and found the hotel to provide more space rhan initially committed by virtue of how big it eas for being connected to the mall and trains

Family weekend trip
The overall stay was good. The room was a bit on the smaller side. We could not hear our neighbor except if you were in the bathroom. You could hear very clearly the neighbors conversations and other things.

Great location, no frills
Great location - one block from the Powell Street station, both the modern station and the historical cable car line, which I highly recommend taking to Fisherman's Wharf. Our primary purpose was to go to Oracle Park. This is a no frills and older boutique hotel, but it was a comfortable place to sleep.

The property was fine and the staff was very accommodating. The area of town is not the greatest but we never felt unsafe.

Find another place to stay
There was an extremely loud machine grinding mouning sound that shook the room all night. The front desk didn't and told us they couldn't do anything about it. And the room was dirty. I don't think they ever cleaned under the bed

Freindly and helpful staff. Overall, the hotel is clean with small signs of wear due to it's age. Was definitely a good stay, just be aware of your surroundings in the area. Hotel itself seemed safe.
