Guest Reviews & Ratings
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. Although the rooms are not as spacious as I hoped and the price might be on the higher side for what is offered, the service stood out with their efficient and friendly approach. The location right next to Union Square is vibrant and convenient, offering easy access to restaurants and shops. However, the dining options can be a bit pricey for what you get, and the value for money might not be the best.
My stay at this hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The location was fantastic, right at Union Square, making it easy to access many sights and public transport. The rooms, although quiet, were sub-par for the price, especially the so-called 'city view'. The service was pleasant but not as helpful as I had hoped. The dining options were a bit overpriced for what you get, even for San Francisco standards.
The hotel is centrally located near Union Square, making it convenient for shopping and exploring. The rooms were quiet, clean, and spacious. However, they lacked character and had some noise issues from neighboring suites. The service was friendly and efficient, although parking took a bit longer than expected. The location is ideal for access to restaurants, bars, and attractions, but it can be noisy due to traffic. The dining options were nothing special, and the facilities were average.
My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The room, though small, was very comfortable and had everything we needed. However, the cleanliness could have been better with spills left on the counter. The service was exceptional, with extremely helpful and friendly staff. The location was convenient for Union Square, but at times, the sidewalk in front reeked of urine. The dining experience was a bit pricey for what was offered, but the warm dishes were satisfactory.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of comfort and convenience. While the room was huge and very comfy, it felt a bit dated. The staff, on the other hand, was extremely helpful and friendly. The location was convenient for my business meetings and exploring the city, but there was a slight issue with cleanliness in some areas. Dining options were a bit pricey, but I found great alternatives nearby, and the French pastry was a delight.
The hotel offers big and cozy rooms with a 'city view,' but they are very small, not having enough room for two adults with travel bags. The service was excellent and very accommodating, making the stay delightful. The location is outstanding, right next to Union Square with plenty of nearby restaurants and shops. However, the dining options would have been good with a voucher for nearby cafes, but they were a bit pricey for what was provided.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were quiet and quite spacious, but the size was a bit small. The service was a rollercoaster - some staff were extremely kind and helpful, while others charged us double the rate and were not accommodating when addressed. The location is terrific, being central to everything, but there were some issues with accessing public parking. The dining options were satisfactory, with nearby cafes providing good breakfast choices. The facilities were adequate, although the price for some services felt too high.
The hotel is a bit of a mixed bag. The rooms have been nicely refurbished and are comfortable with modern amenities, but they are fairly dated in terms of bathroom fittings and overall wear. The service was truly amazing, with exceptionally kind and accommodating staff, and good value for the price. The location is perfect, just at Union Square, ideal for exploring San Francisco, but the dining options are a bit on the expensive side. Overall, a solid choice if you prioritize service and location.
The hotel is in a premier location with many restaurants and shopping within walking distance. The rooms are good, but small which took some getting used to, especially with two small children. The service is cordial, knowledgeable, and attentive. The dining options are varied, with homemade pastries being a standout choice. The location is excellent, close to the Tram stop and shopping areas, but some adjustment of furniture is needed to match the room size.
I couldn't have asked for a better location, with a short walk to restaurants, bars, shopping, and museums. The rooms, while on the small side, were incredibly cozy. The service was top-notch, with extremely helpful and friendly staff. Unfortunately, the dining options didn't quite meet expectations, and the price for what was offered was a bit steep.
