San Francisco Gem

Is it a bright shiny new hotel? No. Is it a charming San Francisco gem yes! The rooms are typical San Francisco Victorian. The bathrooms have been updated. The amenities are lovely. The included breakfast is wonderful. My only suggestion was to update the mattress it was fine but not fabulous. I would definitely stay again and recommend this hotel to anyone that wants San Francisco charm with out the corporate vibe.
Shelley, 5-night trip

Alice, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Quaint simple room with a window to let in the cool San Francisco air. Loved the history of the building. Located near many great places to explore just by walking. Staff was friendly and very helpful. Breakfast was good.
Old fashioned elevator nicely decorated.
Bed, window, and art.

Great location - tiny bathroom

Very clean hotel. Central location. Tiny bathroom and small room (no A/C but not ready needed ). Daily room service and very friendly staff. Overall not a bad place to stay. There is no hotel parking but a parking garage is across the street for $40/day.
Manfred, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Cute and clean

The hotel was very cute and clean, and in a convenient location. I loved the decor and the price was great!
Stephanie, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Cheap and in a good location. Breakfast was ok

The location was good, not far from china town and market street. Small rooms with no extras, not even a kettle, but good for the price. The breakfast was ok with a selection of items, eggs always cold and bacon overcooked, tepid water if you want tea but the coffee was ok. They advertise a discount at the next door japanese restaurant but there isnt one anymore so they should update this. Wifi is good but annoying to keep logging into every so often. If you want cheap but basic, more private than a YMCA but comparable price then this place is great.
Ross, 7-night trip

8/10 Very good

To find if you want to experience an old-fashioned

Surprisingly well appointed rooms. It’s a very old building, but I loved the Steines of all the furniture and the cute old-fashioned. Caged elevator was a hoot. Very clean and comfortable.
Serena, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Love the vintage vibe.
