I love San Francisco, and this quaint boutique hotel on Nob Hill made me love the city even more. We stayed on the 3rd floor in a room with no view, except the green plants scaling the wall on our side. We still got some good sunlight in the morning. The staff were very helpful all the time, from Amy at the front desk to the bell hops who came from nowhere to get our luggage when we arrived and when we left. (The lobby is tiny, so don't know where the concierge and bell services folk are.)
The room was pretty big, and the fireplace in the room was the best feature. We live in the Far East so SF is always a bit chilly. It was such a nice experience being able to stretch out propped up on their cushion in front of the fireplace after a day or evening out on the town. There was a small kitchenette with a fridge, microwave and coffeemaker and a sink. The bathroom was a bit small but was alright.
Breakfast at the level below the lobby was also very nice, with hot basic offerings but with slight variations each day. I love it that they had coffee cups with covers for takeaway, so we could take a cup with us when heading out for the day.
The two drawbacks were parking...pretty steep for valet parking at some parking area nearby ($32 for overnight)...and the old fashioned elevator, with its sliding old gate that had to close before it slowly made its way up or down. We took it up the first time, and then took the stairs after that.
Overall, a delightful experience and I will definitely go back again.
