    Stayed here for one night. Cute rooms, all accommodations I needed and very clean and cosy. Hotel has a beautiful story and personality. Would like to stay here longer if I could.

    New management. Not a best Western. Staff great. Small but pretty. A cool place...not cookie cutter. No pool or gym. No vending. Will bring ice to you. Great cupcakes each night. Rate cannot be beat.

    If you're in the north side of the building (room ends in 10-15 or so) you will hear LOUD bar noise until roughly 2:30am. Ask to be on the 7th floor interior and the windows are a bit newer.

    to get to candlestick head to van ness & take the 77x. the concierge only recommend a cab which is fine if you go early but on the way back the fare would tick away while your stuck in traffic.

    Best value hotel in San Fran for business or pleasure. Stylish, cost effective and steps to Union Square.

    I've heard that you can check out anytime you like, but actually leaving is a whole different story.

    It's urban economical. Probably owned by Nancy Pelosi. You don't know what your getting till you read the bill.

    Never thought to ask if rooms had A/C? Well this hotel doesn't, and I partially feel duped. Other than that basic room is tiny. But a great price other than that!
