This is a charming, old-fashioned hotel in a perfect location. My room had a view of the Union Square Christmas lights. It is not slick or modern: think of it as European and you will see its charms. The room was comfortable with everything you need. They warn you in advance that there's no air conditioning but most of the time in SF you don't need it, and there's a ceiling fan and the windows can be opened. There is always coffee and cookies available in the lobby and the tiny bar was popular, thanks to a two-for-one coupon for guests. The neighborhood seems to be making a comeback after some rough years. It was a lot cleaner than I remembered, and I went to two great restaurants that were new to the area.

Clean room, great location, tremendous value, great employees. It feels like a family-run operation, not some big corporate feeling. I judge hotels also how they handle problems and my room was not receiving very strong Wifi so they gave me some options, had me check wifi coverage near a room being cleaned and let me move to that room and wifi was very fast. I was there 4 nights and I am very satisfied.
