I loved that they had a yoga mat available. The vibes were off as soon as they didn't recognize my status as nice as they were about it. I even (right place right time) walked by when they were on the phone likely with the management who called about my comment about not receiving the updgrade. The room was nice and the bed was comfy, the shower was great. The staff I dealt with were friendly. My room wasn't cleaned on the last day and even some take out I had was left in the hall the entire day! Having a record player is cute but I would have preferred in room coffee.

Checking in at midnight was a breeze. Staff was very courteous and accommodating. Room was clean, quiet and A/C was working great. Linens, towels and plenty pillows! Hair dryer & make-up application mirror in the room. Beautiful hotel within walking distance to the pier and many shops, restaurant and activities. Stored luggage while we enjoyed the city. I would recommend this hotel.

I stayed for 2 nights and was woken up around 4am both nights by the repeated slamming of the metal trash bins that are outside the adjacent business or hotel buildings. Ask for a different room if it’s facing Jones and Beach streets. Location is nice and 10-15 minutes walking distance to the Pier, Ghirardelli square, Trader Joes, and Lombard street. Breakfast at the hotel wasn’t very good.

The night front desk people, Edwin specially, were really accommodating and nice. The food at Abaca was exceptionally good both dinner and breakfast. The only thing I didn’t like was the morning front desk person who answered my call. I was asking for a late checkout but I was dismissed curtly. I asked if she can help us with it. Person said that she can’t do anything about it and that it was their policy. The lady who did our checkout was really nice though and even offered to store our bags. It was just the person who answered my call who was a little rude.

The moment we checked in the staff greeted us very pleasantly and handed us a bottle of red wine! The hotel was very clean and had happy hours each day and coffee available in the morning. It was very clean and the rooms were nice. It's in a very nice walking proximity to Pier 39, Ghirardelli Square, and other major tourist areas. They also have bikes available for taking a tour on the town! I would definitely stay again and recommend to anyone looking for a vacation in SF.

Hotel is ok, nothing crazy. The gym is really small and not well appointed. Do not pay for parking, they ask for $70 day. You can park on the street for free at night or across the street for way cheaper. The valet pretended like he had no idea the parking rules, to scare people to pay the fee. Super bad way of treating clients!

The property is “ok”. Not great, not terrible. It’s on older property with really good photos online. We found the desk attendants to be “smug” as if they were at a ritz-Carlton. The parking is NOT ok. They charge and ADDITIONAL $70 per day, making it a bad value. Definitely will choose one of the other hotel options on our next trip. Was not horrible, but was far over priced in comparison to other hotels within walking distance.

While the staff was kind and helpful, it doesn’t make up for the outdated exterior aesthetics of the hotel. Floor plans are like labyrinths, I’ve only available on 1st and 4th floor was odd. No good views from a room, just the wall and windows of the other side of the hotel. Amenities fees were outrageous considering the amenities were limited and likely not going to be used. The gym is just a tiny treadmill room. No places for you to just exist outside of your room if you were waiting, working, or didn’t want to go out. Definitely no exterior places to sit unless you bought food from the restaurant/cafe. Lobby area was tiny, noisy, and always packed or had high traffic going through it. Overall, a budget hotel dressed up to look fancier than it is.

Nice staff - poor check-in software
New software at the desk made check-in a difficult and lengthy process. Nothung specifically wrong with the staff's service...but it was not enjoyable. Also the King bed guest room was not available and zi was assigned a double queen room by the elevator on the 2nd floor. Just not the best. The staff was froendly and courteous - but theh overall experience was lackluster.

Happy customer, just a bit of sticker shock :-)
If you eliminate the element of the cost of a stay, it would rate 5 stars. The ONLY negatives were the cost and at the rate we paid (essential room) we got a view of the garbage area, but hey we were in the unit and awake very little. Service was stellar, bed was among the most comfortable in a long time. Very clean and the food from the adjoining James Beard winning restaurant was excellent. The location worked very well with easy quick access to the waterfront area.
