The old building, though recently renovated, had a clean and comfortable room with daily room service. The friendly staff provided excellent service, and the lobby offered 24-hour access to coffee, tea, cookies and apples . The location was convenient, with a short walk to the waterfront and Market Street. 1 min walk to union square

The hotel has a great location, it is clean and the housekeeper cleans the room every day. The hotel could invest in air conditioning, it could even be window air conditioning…

Warm Stay
The hotel has no air conditioning but I didn't expect the weather in October to be 90+ degrees. Made the stay a little uncomfortable.

Unsafe to keep window open due to fire escape stairs right outside the window. Hotel has no air conditioning and unfortunately I was there during an October heatwave. Even if it was safe to have the window open, the rooftop utilities and tall buildings blocked any breeze. Otherwise the room was ok. Staff was decent. Didn’t feel safe being out at night in this area. Basically you get what you pay for. The reviews on Expedia and trip advisor are way too high and misleading.

It is a wonderful family owned hotel right next to Union Square. The rooms are very clean and the housekeeping service was excellent. Although it's rated as a three star hotel it was a much more pleasant stay than many 4 star hotels I have been to.
