Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff was great. The room had so many above and beyond extras such as great books to read a window that opened (with safety measures of course) and basically anything required upon request such as yoga mats, microwaves and room defusers. You could basically walk everywhere and the area is safe although be careful which direction you travel in the evening.

Booked last minute due to our other hotel not being suitable. Check in was easy, location was great and staff were very friendly. Room and bed was smaller than you would expect in an American hotel but that didn’t matter too much to us (being from the UK). A convenient Starbucks on the corner too.

Its conveniently located and I was able to do a lot on my first day. I had lunch at Sears, great food and service. I shopped around and got on the Big Bus to tour SF and got back in time to take the #30 bus to Oracle Park to watch a baseball game. They have wonderful staff and are very accommodating. Thank you so much for wonderful hospitality

This is a small but friendly hotel with a fondness for everything literary. We were drawn to it by its quirky theme and decor, something different from other hotels in the area. Desk staff and housekeeping were all very friendly, personable and helpful. It was nice to be able to walk into the attached coffee shop for caffeine and a breakfast sandwich. My wife appreciated that they have gluten free bread.

I loved this hotel! It felt so cozy and like a home away from home. Quiet and safe for a solo female traveler. Front desk staff was very helpful whenever I needed anything. Steps away from Union Square but it is adjacent to the Tenderloin area and there’s some rough folks meandering around. That being said, no one really bothered me and I had no problem walking everywhere alone. Super close to multiple options for public transit too. 5 stars!

I absolutely loved this hotel! It was charming, spotless, and had such a cozy, city-living vibe. The location was perfect—right in the heart of a lively area with plenty of great restaurants and nightlife just steps away. We truly felt like locals during our stay. We’ll definitely be coming back!

This is truly a one-of-a-kind hotel nestled in the heart of Union Square. The decor embraces the beatnik roots in San Francisco, with unique touches everywhere - including the bathrooms. The staff created a welcoming and friendly environment throughout our stay. We arrived before check-in time and dropped off our luggage. They delivered it to our room for us. They have a list of special amenities you can request - including a record player and records and a typewriter to write letters. The staff drops these off to your room. This was a total hit with our family, especially our teenager. This truly was a perfect fit for our family. Highly recommend and hope to come back again!
