Really nice hotel. The room is small but well designed. Blackout blinds were awesome for sleeping in. The area is convenient and maybe the best in downtown.

The location is convenient. The hotel and the room are clean. The mattress is very comfortable. The room is very small but the design makes it comfortable enough for a solo traveler.

Wonderful Stay! Rating: 5/5 We had an amazing stay at this hotel! The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. Our room was unique and stylish, adding to the hotel's charm. The location, although initially a concern (with what we heard about the homelessness), proved to be perfectly fine. We felt safe and aware of our surroundings at all times. Plus, being within walking distance to shops, restaurants, and great food spots was a definite bonus! Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely return. Highly recommended!

I had an amazing time here. Me and my girlfriend stay for four nights. Check in was extremely quick and super easy. They have free wifi, a cool vibe in the lobby, and nice workers. The room was a little tiny perfect but perfect for a couples getaway. You are able to pick the view you’d like, Black out curtains not an ounce of light comes through, and complete silence didn’t hear a single thing. Only flaw, I spent $240 for parking in the OFarrel lot. From my knowledge they don’t have there own parking.

To enter hotel entrance is hidden. Looks more like an apartment entrance that is accessible by the security guard or hotel keycard. Very clean and nicely furnished. It has a really nice aroma too. From the reception to the room, simplistic but chic decor. The ipad in the room lets you control everything including the night and day shades which was a nice to have. Will definitely come back on our next trip to SF.
