Compared to the major chain hotels & larger boutique hotels around it, this one has that “San Francisco” charm; a bit old world, a bit classic, a bit modern. Compact, cozy, unpretentious & on the famed waterfront w/ the Ferry Building a quick stroll away, Little Italy not too far out after that & all that San Francisco has to offer easily accessible by tram or subway. That view of the Bay Bridge on a foggy morning, amazing!

A great little hotel, steps from the ferry terminal. I would have given 5 stars, but for 2 things: The room was small, not that much bigger than the king size bed, and the pillows were atrocious - bulky polyester cheapos that were too thick to sleep comfortably on. We both stuffed towels into empty pillowcases to use as our pillows.

The hotel is well kept and maintained, but we notice that it is a little old. The bed is reasonably comfortable. The rain shower was really pleasant. There was a little nook in the bedroom that made it nice, despite the fact that it was a little dated. I got a very good deal price wise but the room did not have any view, it was on the 2nd floor (214) on top of the restaurant which could bring smells of burgers now and then. It did not bother me. There was just one outlet in the bedroom available for charging device. In terms of breakfast, they serve complimentary pastries in the lobby, it is not really a full breakfast, and there is no real place to stay and have breakfast, but it is easy to take away and have a snack on the go.
