Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Staff was great and polite, but the room and building were outdated and old. Carpets were gross and appeared to not have been cleaned in a while. You could hear everything inside and outside of the hotel room, street sweepers, music, garbage truck, etc. room was old, patches in ceiling, holes in the wall where a painting might have been? Carpets old and gross looking. The bed and pillows were uncomfortable. Overall, the price was not worth what was paid.

Hotel is in a very convenient location close to Fisherman's Wharf, just a 10 minute walk away. Staff helpful and courteous. Sadly the historic part of the hotel where my room was located is in need of renovation, the property looks quite tired.
