    Nothing, all were good. No cleaning, which was not a problem, but you have to ask to take the waste away or change towels

    Great location, authentic but renovated building, comfortable facilities. Nice coffee in the morning. Friendly personal.

    The con is it’s far from Bart station. It’s quite hard to walk with the big luggage around 10 mins.

    Great hotel to stay! Clean, convenient and very safe. the room is a bit tiny but we’re okay with that. It’s not bad at all. The hotel has drinking water that customer can fill the water.

    The rooms need a little love (deep clean and some basic maintenance). There are renovations going in at the lobby area so sometimes there is a morning noise. Getting fresh towels is a bit complicated.

    Location is excellent - its easy to reach to / from the airport. Its also nearby lots of attractions & ferries The cable car line is just around the corner. The staff is nice. There is a morning tea & coffee daily. There is also a functional elevator.

    I was overall happy with my stay and could recommend it.

    I was disappointed that I didn't have a fridge in the room. However, the staff were kind enough to offer me the use the staff fridge in the lobby area. I found the corridors outside the room a little dark and gloomy. Better lighting, fresh painting and carpets seem needed.

    I had a fairly long stay at the hotel - 10 days. I found the rooms a bit smaller than I expected. When I mentioned this at the reception, the friendly hotel staff put me in a better room. I am thankful for that. Nevertheless, due to the building being old, the rooms are overall smaller than many four-star hotels. I also enjoyed the coffee machine in the room and the daily morning coffee in the lobby area. The location is great, around Union Square, with a short walk to the metro station. A diner and a shop for snacks and basic goods are just next to the hotel.

    If I'm being picky I'd ask for a room away from the elevator if I were to stay again.

    Everyone was super friendly and helpful. I asked and received a higher floor. The room is dated and the handyman is terrible but it's clean and I think they're upgrading. Bed was amazing and had an actual duvet cover, which is rare in America. Pillows were excellent. The lobby is beautiful. I think I saw a peregrine falcon flying past the window.

    Facilities seem old. And the room is very small. You should not pick this if you require mobility space.

    Great location. Despite it being in the middle of the city, it is actually very quiet. I am able to have very good sleep at night. It is pretty clean too.

    Only real complaint would be the size of the room/bathroom.. however, after learning and knowing the history of the building its understanding of the small room size.

    The staff was very friendly and inviting. Centrally located and easy to get around to other areas of the city. Great parking garage recommendation- felt safe and comfortable leaving car parked over the weekend.
