We stayed here for the first time to attend a local music festival. I've stayed in many hotels in San Francisco, mostly boutique, this is by far my favorite.
It is very close to Union Square, China Town, Market Street, BART and Muni. In other words, you can get everywhere for free on foot or for cheap on public transportation. We spent a day doing everything to come back to a nice wine reception in their lobby. Sipping wine and sitting next to the fireplace just made the day even better. It was a last minute booking for us during a very busy weekend full of major events in the city so the rate was not fabulous, but we really enjoyed ourselves.
The room (2 double beds) was very tight, but our expectations were set, because that's typical of San Francisco hotels. My only complaint was that the bed was just too soft and bouncy, which made me feel like I was going to bounce off when my bedmate shifted during the night. Other than that, the hotel is very tastefully decorated. Pretty, but comfortable instead of stark and ultra modern.
I highly recommend this hotel if you love to shop, eat and explore the city.
