Pros: cute concept and theme Bed and duvet covers Use of space in the room Updated rooms Fairly quiet in the hotel Cons: no breakfast or dinner No parking - the closest lot is not recommended and the one that I used was $38 a day and had to walk a two blocks away Not enough food options (imo) Many homeless wandering around Overall, I enjoyed the room itself but everything else was a miss for me. I do not think the price reflects what you get. I was drawn to the theming and didn’t do proper research before booking. Geary street is not as bad as the other streets around but there were many homeless wandering around every where you looked. They typically did stick to themselves but as a solo female traveler, I was uncomfortable having to walk that far to my car every day. I was always back in my room by 7PM each day (on purpose). I was surprised that there were absolutely food options in the hotel. The diner closest was $30 for French toast, sausage links, and OJ leaving me to have Starbucks every day. I wish I would’ve booked something further away from downtown with at least some food option and on site parking.

Nice hotel and great staff

Our stay was overall fine. The day before check in we received an email from the hotel letting us know that the elevator was down with no ETA and they gave as the option to cancel the booking without penalties. We decided to stay there and we did not regret it. Upon early check in they waived the resort fee and accommodated us in a lower floor. Check in was smooth and front desk agent was very nice. Rooms are small but comfortable. Area is a little rough but we did not have any issues and did not feel unsafe at any time. We would definitely stay there again.

Seems like a decent hotel before arrival, but we got very disappointed after we walked into our room. There's a strong weird unpleasant smell (likely mold) as soon as we opened the door. Our room is facing Geary St and the window is not soundproof at all, can hear cars go by when sleeping. The TV doesn't work neither, said they will send a maintenance person to fix it the next day and when we got back, it still doesn't work. We've stayed at lots 4 star hotels, this is definitely a disappointed one.

Terrible! The elevador was broken and didn’t get fix during our 3 days stay, so we had to get up and down our luggage through the narrow stairs. The noise was terrible outside the hotel and in the hallways. The shower handle was broken and the shower door was out of its place so the water went all over the bathroom’s floor. The AC turn on and off all the time specially during the night. They sent someone and couldn’t do anything. They have to do so a serious maintenance to this place. I wouldn’t recommend to stay there.

Minimal amenities but clean

My stay here was fine, but a little disappointing. Hotels.com shows that breakfast is served daily at the property, but this is absolutely false. It looks like the hotel used to have an active restaurant, but it doesn't anymore. There is coffee available. I stayed here so I could get breakfast included, so this was very disappointing and misleading. The daily amenity fee also seemed steep because the amenities were a bottle fill station, coffee, afternoon cookies, and wifi. Halfway through my trip the wifi died. The area is not great, you're almost in the tenderloin so watch where you walk. No one bothered me and I was able to find nice food nearby. The hotel was clean and the staff were friendly. If you can get a good price then you might enjoy your stay here. I would not stay here again.

Just Not the Same

Since our pervious stay at this site quite a few years ago, it was sad to see the location has declined, riddled with unhoused people, and filthy sidewalks. Inside the hotel, the cute little bistro has been shut down, the elevator was broken with our room on the 6th floor and very disturbing loud foul fights and yelling coming from the streets severally times during the night. The room was still cute and clean and staff friendly. While hotel waived the amenities fee for the inconveniences of the broken elevator it was challenging for 2 people in our party to have to climb the stairs. With all of the prestay welcome emails that were sent prior to our stay, there should have been one letting us know about the elevator since we were told it had been broken for 3 weeks. A little sad and disappointing compared to our last stay.
