I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were cozy, with a fireplace and a very homely lounge area, although a bit noisy as expected in downtown San Francisco. The service was top-notch, especially Luis who made our first visit to the city welcoming and memorable. The location couldn't be better, close to iconic landmarks and with spacious accommodations. The dining experience was decent with a mix of breakfast items. Overall, a fantastic choice for a San Fran getaway.

My stay at the hotel was a blend of great positives and a few drawbacks. The rooms were pristine with great attention to detail, but the dated decor and a funny smell in the bathroom were a downside. The service was exceptional, with very friendly and helpful staff, although there were some issues with the ancient elevator. The location was ideal, offering easy access to various tourist attractions, but the extra charge for parking was a bit steep. The dining experience was enjoyable with complimentary wine and hors d'oeuvres, although the options seemed a bit minimal. Overall, a comfortable stay with some room for improvement.
