8.6 out of 10, Excellent, (1001)
"This is our 5th time staying at this hotel. It is a very convenient location in San Francisco to get to lots of different theaters, restaurants, bars, etc, but it generally seems a little bit safer and quieter than the heart of the Tenderloin. The hotel has some great history, the rooms all have lots of character, but are very clean and beds are comfy. Staff is excellent - helpful and friendly, all of them, from front desk to housekeeping. There is a free breakfast of good pastries...

"Everything about this spot was amazing. Really lovely staff that were super helpful to travellers, great location near the transit centres, right across the street to a Walgreens and 711 for some small pick ups. Only small issue was the size of the bathroom but other than that the room was super spacious, good looking and comfortable. Could not recommend a better spot to stay."
