Although the hotel is located near the Tenderloin it was not really a problem. The architecture and atmosphere was nice. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. One night the air conditioning was not working however the staff gave us an alternate room. We would stay there again.

Comfortable. Very attentive staff. If you're not a member, you'll be asked to attend a Club Wyndham event. It's a little close to the Tenderloin district, which is not a nice neighbourhood. The "kitchen" doesn't include a cook top, but an electric frying pan was provided on request and that worked well for us.

Gorgeous hotel in a great spot, close to everything. Really funky vibe is done right. There are only two things I would change: 1. Put a small shelf in the corner of the bathroom so guests can put their things down 2. Coffeemakers in the room! The Nespresso machine is nice, but we want coffee not a small shot. Luckily Starbucks is right around the corner. Comfy beds, great pillows, huge soft towels and nice shampoo and soap. The game room downstairs is really cool and a nice way to wind down after a long day. Rooms are small, but who goes in vacation to sit in their room? It was perfect-we would stay there again for sure and recommend to all our friends.
