"The receptionist behaved terribly—it was an experience I’ll never forget. I do not recommend this hotel if you are traveling with family; upon arrival, they tell you they don't have a room available, even if you booked online. They claim it’s not their fault the room was sold to you, and basically tell you to file a complaint if you want to."

"Lovely older hotel in the heart of downtown San Francisco. Easily walkable to transportation, the ballpark, and Chinatown. Very helpful staff and the rooms were very clean and well taken care of. Breakfast that’s included at the cafe next door is delicious!"
