Was in SF for the weekend and thought this was a great place. Location was beautiful and was walking distance to AT&T Park, Fisherman's Wharf and Union Square. Room was smartly decorated and clean and the staff was very nice and helpful. All in all a wonderful place to stay.

This small 'boutique' (is that descriptive term dated now?) hotel fitted our needs very well for a short stay in SFO. As noted in other reviews, the rooms (and the elevator) are on the small side, but that's not an issue ... we're not large people. The room was tastefully furnished and made a pleasant change from the usual cookie-cutter... More

As noted by other reviews, the rooms are quite small. However they were nicely decorated. We were given a room that didn't not have a view out (faced another building) but since we booked on a discount site, we weren't expecting the best room in the house. The staff was friendly and helpful. The attached restaurant (Perry's) was quite good.... More

We stayed in room 219 which has great views on the Bay Bridge and is right on Embarcadero. The check in service is great - attentive and genuintly friendly. The room is dissapointingly small with a slated/sloping floor. Noise insulation is remarkably good but you will hear the street noise well at night. If you are a light sleeper, avoid... More

I can't say enough about how friendly the staff was and how incredible their customer service was!! A great option if you want to stay on the Embarcadero, but you don't want to stay in a ginormous hotel like the Hyatt. Very central location. The restaurant "Perry's" off the lobby had excellent food as well (not hotel-like at all) and... More
