Great central location, great restaurants within few blocks, 5 star experience all around , we walked all the way across the Golden Gate bridge. Clean and spacious room, helpful staff, secure valet parking. Only downside was only one of the two elevators was working during our stay, but not a big deal for a boutique size hotel. Definitely recommended.

The staff was extremely welcoming, friendly and helpful, especially Pam who gave us a bunch of recommendations for local spots to check out. Rooms were clean and very large. Didn’t get a chance to use the fitness center and/or spa area but it was nice to know it was there. The area nearby is nice in most directions. You can end up in a rough part of town if you aren’t sure of where you’re going, but the other directions have plenty of great food and public spaces.

Large room with plenty of space to spread out and a small kitchenette area with small fridge, microwave, dishwasher, sink. Bathroom was clean and well updated. Really appreciated having filtered water and ice machines on my floor. Hotel was quiet, no disruptions overnight. Bed was comfortable. Overall a great, comfortable experience! The fitness center was quite small. Tons of restaurants around and easily walkable.
