Clearly recently refurbished - a beautiful, totally charming boutique hotel next to the ballet. Rooms, hallways, elevator and lobby were all thoughtfully designed and a very relaxing place to stay. The location was very central but the street we were on didn't feel unsafe at all. The facilities all worked very well also, and every member of staff we spoke to were friendly and helpful.

    Great hotel. Nice personnel. Good price (by SF standards), nice big room, comfortable bed, and spacious bathroom. Hotel atmosphere was good and cozy. Location is good; close to the busy city center (union square etc), but located in a street which is a little bit more quiet/nicer. Easy to walk to other neighborhoods from the hotel. Breakfast is okay, nothing special but fine.

    Central location. Good price compared to other properties in SF. Reasonably clean. The diner next door is a good place for breakfast. The hotel itself was quiet, although there was a little noise from the street. The room was equipped with a hairdryer, and an iron and board, which you wouldn't necessarily expect at that price point. The staff was friendly. It's all in all a good budget option. I would probably go back if travelling alone.
