    considering the hotel is almost 100 years old it is in pretty good shape. the hotel was kept very clean. check in takes awhile and the front desk staff is not the friendliest. i dealt with 3 concierges during my 5-day stay. J gets a little flustered but is overly helpful and gives great tips on were to eat. she even got me discount tickets to Wicked across the street at the Orpheum! the other 2 concierges were not very pleasant at all! L the singing doorman is great! the only other major complaint is the walls are paper thin...i mean REALLY thin. i could hear everything in the adjoining room thru the connecting door. that was annoying! the hotel is in the middle of market street and conveniently close to public transportation: i took the F-line to fishermans wharf took the California street cable car to Grant st and Chinatown took a taxi to the Sausalito ferry. but not many places to eat in the immediate area. sams diner is across the street and is good for breakfast...have H cook your pancakes! soluna cafe is a few blocks away near the civic center and has great drinks - go for happy hour. other than that its quot3quot VERY LONG blocks to the start of union square and other eateries. dont try to walk it if youre starving or in a hurry! the location is great the price was right and since i didnt spend much time in the room i would likely stay here again. also you have to show your room key to enter the hotel after a certain time at night so that was a plus considering its on a main street.

  • Lots of charm and character!

    This hotel is right on Market Street and across from the Civic Center BART station. It has easy access to any type of transportation that you need. The age of the hotel is in spirit only, with small rooms, but very well appointed. Everyone we met was very friendly and helpful. They have an internet cafe as well as a Starbucks just off the lobby, not to mention a full bar and restaurant. We really enjoyed out stay and would recommend it to anyone on a budget, but wanting the old fashioned charm of a high dollar establishment. I would definitely stay there again! A Very satisfied traveler!!

    Keep in mind, room doesn’t have thick curtains to protect you from streetlights at nights.

    Nice looking older hotel, except in a not so nice neighborhood. The parking fees were $* a night which considering S.F. is not too bad a price to pay. The room was comfortable, but small. The lobby is absolutely gorgeous and the staff were great. The only downside to this stay was the fact we went for an evening stroll figuring it was lite outside. We returned later than anticipated finding the many beggers out after dark, and found it very disconcerting. The hotel seems to be in a more run down section of town. I would not reccomend this hotel for families if you were planning on walking to see the sites as the beggers and homeless poeple are everywhere.

    I stayed at this hotel last weekend and was very pleased with my stay. It is located close to muni, bart, taxis, and street cars to get around town. The staff was always very pleasant and helpful. My room was very clean and well kept, nicely decorated. Other travelers that were staying were very pleasant as well even though there was a leather convention going on there, they were all great. I would highly recommend this hotel and will be back to stay on my next trip to SF
