Awesome historical hotel centrally located just steps away from Union Square and Powell St. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. Tne rooms comfortable and spacious. The only disadvantage is that the hotel doesn’t have a restaurant or coffee shop. There is a little smell throughout the property. But in general we enjoyed our stay

One of the main reasons I booked this hotel was for the heated pool, but it was closed during my stay. When I called the front desk, they told me that Expedia was supposed to notify me about the closure. The body wash bottle in the room only had enough product for one use. The air conditioning buttons were very old, difficult to understand, and not functioning properly. The room itself was too small. There were two old phones displayed in the lobby. I briefly touched one of them, and a front desk staff member yelled at me in front of other guests, telling me not to touch it. There was no sign indicating that guests were not allowed to touch the phones. Additionally, the shower water was not hot enough. Overall, the facilities felt outdated and poorly maintained.

The room was clean, the staff was very friendly and helpful. Great location and very quiet. The only thing is that the room was quite warm and we had to leave the window open all night. The thermostat in the room was not working.

Our two rooms were right by the pool which we thought was great, but it turns out the pool is a major walkway to get from one wing to the other. We constantly had peopled walking by our glass doors with luggage talking loudly at all hours. The concierge was extremely rude. Get advice from the front desk staff instead. We had reservations at the House of Prime Rib and asked her the best way to get there. She laughed and said Oh! you will NEVER get in there! We've had reservations for six months. One of the front desk staff was pretty rude to me at check in, talked to me like a child, but not too big of a deal. He had an hispanic name. Rooms were ok. Great location. The only microwave available is in the kitchen by the lobby, so called 24 hours. We waited for someone to unlock the kitchen for about a half hour and then he never even turned on the lights. We heated up our food in the dark. They don't seem to care much about you but most are somewhat friendly. Somewhat.
