    Rude staff, bad smell throughout the hotel and especially in the room, non functioning air con, shabby and unkempt - wires hanging out of ceiling, drapes smelled of historic cigarette smoke, desperately in need of updating, low water pressure, no restaurant or bar facilities whatsoever. 30 minute wait to check in with one stressed staff member on the desk - eventually the bellman went to dig the manager out of his office to help with the queue of guests waiting to check in - he was angry to be disturbed rude to everyone.

    Nothing.

    Loved that the pool had a beautiful outdoor heated pool and inner courtyard in the midst of the hustle and bustle of the city. Such a relaxing and lovely stay and an incredibly convenient location! The staff were very helpful and kind. Great community. Will definitely stay here again when I come to San Francisco.

    The hotel was very central to everything, you could either walk to Fishermans Wharf or take the cable car. It was very close to bars, restaurants and shops. The room was a good size and very comfortable and the staff were very helpful.

    old SF area hotels have smaller bathrooms.

    Location was excellent and staff was great. Well maintained property and very clean. On-site restaurant is currently closed but they give 20% discount to cafe Mason around the corner which was excellent. Well equipped rooms with USB charging ports, coffee maker & bar fridge. Rooms have tall ceilings and were quiet.

    Really dated building. Air conditioning didn't work properly, shower room was really small and although probably clean just felt dirty. Room is small. Parking charges were extortionate.

    The view we got when looking out the window we would look at walls. We wanted a view of the city.

    Staff are friendly and the room was comfortable. Also that we were close to a lot of places that we didn’t need to use the car.

    The room was dirty (there was spilled coffee on the wall when we entered the room). The staff dropped us a note very early in the morning (approx. 6am) about our checkout time (11am) which I found extremely rude, especially if we consider the price of the room and we already had been communicated verbally the checkout time. This has never happened again to me at any other hotel in the US or abroad.

    The location was amazing and the room was very spacious.

    We were on the 5th floor and the bedroom window didn't close properly so we were able to hear alot of noise from outside but it wasn't that bad as at night time it is a very quiet spot

    We picked this hotel for the location and it didn't disapoint. We were literally steps away from transport and shops and it was easy to find our way around due to this. The room was spacious for 4 people and the beds were really comfortable to sleep on.

    The aircon is a little noisy due to old ventilation system. Not ideal but I get use to it after few nights.

    I love the prrmier king room that we in. The pool is amazing and the whole experience in the hotel was worth it. The house keeping staff is friendly and welcoming. Great ambiance.
