A very comfortable tourist hotel

This is a well-maintained tourist hotel. It is just a block up from Union Square, very near the Powell Street Muni/Bart stop on Market Street, so it is centrally located The room was very tidy and cozy. Internet was very reliable. They offer coffee and cookies and apples in the lobby 24/7. The bar has a happy hour that seems quite reasonable. There are very good restaurants within a reasonable walk, some of them classic, old school San Francisco restaurants, in business 50 or 100 years.

We had a great time. We like to book this hotel when we can as it is convenient to a lot of places. The staff was very friendly, the lobby was calming (and it had great cookies and coffee), and the room was wonderful.

Staff was fine. They should have never assigned me a room facing powell street, moving to another room @ 10pm was a big nuisance for me!!!

The location was very good and staffs were all kind. They provide coffee, cookie and apple for free. The only negative point is that the room’s not soundproofed well.

Great stay! We found this place last year when our usual hotel was full, and it’s become a favorite. Clean, convenient, and comfortable even without AC — the ceiling fan worked great in October. Loved the free cookies, popcorn, water and coffee! There are some friendly staffs too. Just wish they’d update the elevator. Will definitely stay again next year!
