    We recently did a whirlwind tour of four different destinations, the Hotel Whitcomb was sandwiched in between two other hotels. It didn't even come close to the others, while being by far the most expensive. Our other destinations were in the high end also when it came to cost, so we were comparing apples to apples. We were excited about the history of the hotel, but did not expect it to SMELL like the history. The old smell was very overwhelming, there has to be some kind of way to make the rooms smell less old! I will say that the beds were very comfortable! I just think that a few upgrades to the rooms could go a long way. The location of the hotel was very convenient to everything we wanted to see. We were able to walk to many of our destinations or we just grabbed a trolley car to further destinations.

    We were down for a week and wouldn't have changed a thing! While the rooms are somewhat smallish, it is to be expected of a hotel with tons of history! The staff were friendly, accomodating and helpful. Our room was kept clean and housekeeping was available whenever we decided to leave the hotel room, no big rush to get us out in the morning to tidy up and freshen the towels and linens. Location is great, on all major tranist routes which helped with both sight-seeing and transportation to the airport. While Market Street was a little rough around the edges (homeless people mostly) we never felt threatened, most people very friendly when passing by. Would definately stay in this centrally located hotel again for both the atmosphere and accessability!

    A hotel close to Union Square for $. To good to be true? Exactly. The room is fine if you don't mind carpeted floors with stains and gum and have low expectations. The hotel needs a total makeover. Close to downtown if you don't mind walking through a rough looking area. I changed my to another hotel as fast as I could. I must say that the staff was great but my advice would be to pay a few extra dollars and pass on this hotel.
