Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were quiet and beautifully decorated despite being next to the street. The service was exceptional, and the location was perfect for exploring the city. The dining options were convenient, but there were some downsides to consider.
The hotel really impressed me with its unique and cool vibe throughout, although the room was a bit tight on space. The furnishing was on point and in line with the overall theme, but I could see why some might want a bit more room to move around.
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious and creatively decorated, but they were a bit too dark and could use some extra cleaning. The service provided by the staff, especially Chelsea, was warm and welcoming throughout our stay. The location was fantastic for exploring San Francisco, although the hotel itself missed some opportunities. The dining options were convenient but limited, and the facilities were a bit cramped. Overall, a stay with its highs and lows.
The hotel is perfectly located near great restaurants and plenty of activities within walking distance. The rooms are spacious and tastefully decorated, although having a carpet can be less preferable on warm days compared to relying solely on air conditioning. The service was outstanding, with prompt resolution of issues and excellent restaurant recommendations. The location is ideal, offering a wonderful ambiance and close proximity to various attractions. The dining experience, unfortunately, was not up to par due to space limitations, but nearby dining options were convenient. Overall, a great choice for those looking for a well-located and welcoming hotel.
I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The rooms are spacious, well-designed, and super comfortable with chic and cool details. The service is top-notch, super friendly, and incredibly helpful. The location is excellent, right off Union Square, perfect for shopping and dining. The dining experience was delightful with options nearby and a cozy bar area. Overall, a great value for money with some minor issues here and there.
The hotel had a unique charm in its room decor, though it could have been cleaner and less musty. The bed, however, was incredibly comfortable. The service was genuinely friendly and efficient, making our stay enjoyable. The location was a major highlight, allowing easy access to popular attractions while being close to Union Square. Despite hidden fees, the proximity to shops and transportation was a strong point. The dining experience, while included, offered great bar snacks but lacked extraordinary food. Overall, a mix of positives and areas needing improvement made for a memorable stay.
The hotel had nice and classy rooms with interesting art and pictures on the wall to gaze at, although being just in front of the elevator could get a little noisy. The service was super friendly and helpful, offering great pointers for exploring the city. The location couldn't have been better, providing easy access to Union Square and other sights. The dining experience included perfect evening bar snacks at the hotel, and the facility had connecting doors to the room next to us.
The hotel offers clean and spacious rooms with nice details and very comfortable beds, making for a luxury experience. The service provided by the delightful and professional staff adds to the overall quality of the stay. The location in the heart of Union Square is convenient for exploring various attractions, with great dining options nearby. The dining experience at the hotel is satisfactory with evening bar snacks available. The facilities enhance the overall comfort of the guests.
