Did not receive clear instructions for check in. Arrived at hotel and was unable to gain access to the lobby. No one answered bell had room key but not the front door.
We were unable to stay overnight. Had to drive home after our night out in SF.
The hotel is super convenient and very clean. Rooms are on the smaller end, but still plenty of room. Having Washington Square Park right out the door is amazing! There is no elevator, but we knew that ahead of time. We will definitely be back!
Beautiful interior. Comfortable bed. Coffee access all day and night. Lobby comfortable and a good place to hang out if needed. Help staff, quite helpful. Every thing was emasculate. Cleaning person very kind and helpful.
Property did not disclose that bathroom was external to the room.
OpenKey did not work.
Loud at all hours.
Poor linens

I wasn't able to download the key app onto my phone. Thank goodness Maria, the housekeeper, was still there and gave me an actual key to my room. Room was quiet and clean except for the MILDEW-COVERED TUB MAT. Worst of all was the BROKEN SHOWER/TUB KNOB, so I could not use the shower. I think a partial refund is in order.

Toilet clogged twice. Shower pressure was inadequate.
This requests 10-15% refund. They
Our travel was business and it was my first experience staying in a keyless Inn in the US. Everything went very well, and communication by text messaging was not a problem at all. Any questions I had were responded to immediately. The room was small, and my only thought was wishing there was a chair to sit on in there. The lounge common area provided that space and the coffee/tea counter was clean, offering everything needed.
The bonus of our stay was the location! It is out of the bustle of the downtown area, easy pick up by Uber, and walking distance to outstanding eateries in Little Italy or Chinatown. HUGE!
Nice room, lobby/lounge is so comfortable and inviting. Coffee bar with real half and half!
Location is ridiculously good. Best place I’ve stayed in a long time, reasonably priced, beautiful building, tastefully decorated room with marble floors and walls in the spacious bathroom and easy access with no hassles at all! Great experience in every aspect.5 stars

Checking in was a hassle. Only phone access that was querky at best to open the doors. Parking and unloading was difficult and expensive.

Location is ideal for a Northbeach stay. Staff is friendly and responsive. Very old building and common areas are kept nicely. As one would expect for a 3 star. Room number 7 does need a little freshen up. The carpet is very old and stained and I imagine is the reason for the odor in the room. The bay window is lovely but the cushions need to be recovered. Keep it simple. Don’t think you need the bolsters in that area. Just the seat cushions.
