My wife and I stayed here for our honeymoon. Since we were just coming from staying at a larger resort in Hawaii, we wanted to try a nice urban, boutique hotel in San Francisco. We liked what we found...until the sun went down. Here is what we observed:
+ Room decor is very warm and comfortable. Kind of like a mini-apartment.
+ Wine and board games in the lobby in the afternoon is very unique and offers the chance to meet your hotelmates before going out for the night.
+ Location is convenient. Just a couple blocks to Union Square, Japantown, and other places of interest.
+ Bed was comfortable.
+ Free wi-fi is cool, although a bit slow. But still free.
- Walls are paper thin. One evening, there was a man talking on his cell phone in the room next door and he might as well of been standing on our bed. No exaggeration. The sound of other doors closing throughout the hotel resonate the room. Basically, you MUST be a heavy sleeper to stay here. It could be our room...but we even had a corner room and the sound was incredible. I've stayed at many hotels, and I've never experienced this kind of issue outside of guests having a party next door or something. Everything can be heard...EVERYTHING.
- I've seen some comments about rooms having a nice view. We didn't get much of a view...not much sun either.
Again, the room itself is nice and comfortable, but I was really surprised how much we heard from the rest of the hotel. For the price, I would bet on staying somewhere else next time. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this hotel.
