    Comfortable small hotel close to Union Square with cozy rooms, bicycles, a glass of wine for Happy Hour - perfect.

    Best place in SF to break out that ascot and monocle and show off that English degree Dad begged you not to get. Don't check out without taking advantage of the free breakfast in the Library Bar.

    The free wifi is reliable. The library bar is very nice. The breakfast buffet is great, but it'll cost ya. They'll slip a 5$ coupon under your door if you skip room service for a day.

    Decent enough hotel. The room is big for SF. Good location. Water pressure and drainage is a little low but ok. Chic hotel. Elevator is slow and tiny. A little musty 2.5/5

    Hotel was nice, but not kid friendly. No high chairs, elevators small, no kid menu items. I know that this is an grown-up hotel but they could at least have the bare minimum...Oh and valet is a joke.

    This hotel is a cozy little joint in the heart of a maajor tourist area in downtown San Francisco. Set your bags down and walk around!

    This hotel, named for poet Kenneth Rexroth, pays homage to the city's literary influences: its walls are lined with antique typewriters and books. They also host readings/ book signings. Read more

    They have free wine between 5 and 6 pm and show old movies in the bar, which has people lining the floorboards to pack the place out!

    Check out their Monday Movie Night every week! It's a fun place to cure Monday blues.

    Maximo, the resident hotel dog, is adorable. He's super friendly so be sure to give him some lovin'.

    Love Hotel Rex--Duck into the cozy Lobby for a cocktail. It's like stepping into a 1940s movie. Be famous.

    Nice hotel, but needs better management when it comes to some front desk personalities. Read more

    Agree with ck fattori, valet is a joke, they charge if you want to use wi-fi. Don't stay at this hotel. Trust me, pick another great ones around this place instead of this shit.

    The free WiFi speeds rival those of 56K dial up.

    This hotel sucks. Expensive and still they charge for parking your car and don't let you know when you make the check in. Don't help you with the luggage. Awful experience.

    The quiet spaces are found where the tourists and conventioneers avoid.
