Decent hotel with nice views and decor. It could use a facelift. The fixtures are tired looking and there are some cracks in the ceiling.

Very Unhappy

I have marked everything as terrible. The outside of this hotel looked nothing like the photos. The area was so dirty, people eating out of garbage cans, drinking on the sidewalk, sleeping on the slidewalk, etc.. When we drove up to the hotel, we took one look at the area, the fact that parking was 2 blocks away (yes they had valet but that would have cost me about $100 each way), and I didn't feel safe stepping out of my car. I am not unfamiliar with big cities having traveling to NYCity, Seattle, Vancouver and felt safe there. We did not stay and ended up having to pay $200 to stay at a Doubletree Inn outside this terrible area.

Not the best

This hotel is clean for its age. The staff is professional and helpful. The room was okay. The biggest issues are location and parking. The location is near the tenderloin. It’s okay within the general vicinity of the hotel but, as you go south, it gets pretty dirty and seedy. All night there are sirens and people talking loudly outside. It never really quiets down. Parking is a nightmare. You can try to get valet but there are only 2 spots to park and wait for them and they never seem to be around - we were told it would be an hour wait to get our car back at times and it is pretty pricey. You can try for street parking but it’s sketchy at best and you’re likely to have your car broken into, according to people in the area. It’s basically a hassle to stay at this place. It’s not horrible overall, but a logistical nightmare.

Good hotel, good value.

We had a nice stay. Good room, excellent and spacious bathroom with bidet, 2 sinks, full bathtub and shower, with a terrific kitchette featuring full-size refrigerator, stove with cooktop, sink, and microwave. Breakfast was a tad uninspired - bland, cold pastries were the main feature. Overall, very satisfactory stay.

Overall we had a great experience. Lots of homeless and drug use around the area but overall the hotel felt safe, clean and very unique with its history. Though it is an older hotel the suite was large and spacious for our family of five. Nice kitchenette to heat up food and enjoy meal without getting in the sleeping areas. We would stay again as this location was very close to union square and other attractions.

Clean roomy rooms. I had no issues with the room, they were clean, and plenty roomy for us for our luggage, our vacation whine down. We could easily walk about the room without being on top of each other as some older hotel rooms can be a bit cramped. we had 2 queen beds and we still had space for our stuff without any issues, nice drawers, closet and plenty of space for backpacks and laptops. Yes the wifi worked fine, and it was a bit slow but usable, we did not have any issues watching the programming we loved via the wifi. Our stay was part of a vacation trip. The location of this hotel is within a short walk to Union Square, which made shopping, and transportation very accessible. It was also super easy to grab an uber here so I did not feel that was an issue. Continental breakfast is minimal but ok, they did have fruit and oatmeal available as vegan options which was more than enough for me on those days i decided to grab a small bite in the morning. I did not have a chance to participate in the afternoon wine and tea time from 4-6pm but that was because we were out sight seeing Vallet parking simplified the parking, however there is not enough space in front of the building and many guests, us included, had to double park which caused me some anxiety, but luckily I did not get a ticket. It's an older building, so YES there is noise from street, consider earplugs if you need quiet. Noise depends on what is happening in the city, we had 1 noisy night and quiet after.
