Old and outdated

This place is pretty old and cheaply finished. Everything about the room felt outdated, cheap, and well used. The decor was terrible as well as it wanted to be “cute French” but need tremendous updates to be that.

I arrived 1 and a half hours prior to checking - 1:30pm for 3:00pm checkin. My VIP benefit stated early checkin. When checking in the attendant said that the room was ready but to get the room early I had to pay $58. I have been to several other hotels in SF, across the country & in several other countries and have never had to pay an early entry fee. I asked to speak to the manager who was not on site. I paid the fee since I had an event to get ready for. The next morning the attendant told me he reimbursed the $58 which I was thankful for. The room was fine, quiet - which I liked and convenient. However, I will not be staying there in the future as there are several other hotels in the area similar to this one who do not charge an early access fee.

I do not recommend this hotel. There was a lot of dirt possibly mold around the windowsills, the blanket on the bed was frayed and looked quite old, and a curtain was torn all giving the feeling of neglect. The shower pressure was the only redeeming attribute--quite good. They use traditional keys, not electronic door access, that may make some people feel less safe. The location is fine and close to Union Square.

Location was perfect, walked everywhere from Union Square, Chinatown, North Beach, Ferry Building, Caltrain and even to Fisherman’s Wharf. You need your key fob to enter hotel which made me feel safe. Staff were lovely and hotel was cute. It’s old so don’t expect posh and high tech. Breakfast was decent and enough to get you through to lunch. Bread, eggs, cereal, occasionally bacon and ham, coffee and tea. Elevator was old school. Loved it. I would stay again.
