Fantastic...

The rooms were clean and the location was great for getting around to the tourist locations like Alcatraz. The ambiance was amazing because the hotel maintained characteristics from another period.

Fabulous, especially for the price!

Courteous staff who had our room ready early and answered all our questions. Really everything you need for a fine downtown stay in SF. Lots of extras (including a great restaurant and lovely bar), without the luxury prices!
