My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although a bit small for the price, provided a comfortable rest with nice views and a quiet atmosphere. The shower could use some improvement. The service, especially the helpful directions provided by the staff, was very welcoming. However, the location in a developing part of SF was a bit rough due to the presence of homeless individuals. The dining options were limited, but there is a great bakery nearby. Overall, it was a decent stay with some ups and downs.

My stay at this hotel was a mix of pleasant and disappointing experiences. The rooms were worth the visit, with nice views, a spacious living room, and two bathrooms, although the decor felt a bit outdated. The service was good, but it was clear they were accustomed to dealing with issues due to the property's condition. The location was perfect, close to dining and entertainment options in central San Francisco. The dining experience was enjoyable, especially at the co-located restaurant. However, the facilities were very basic.

The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms with a few noise issues. The service is consistently helpful and friendly. While the location is well-connected to public transit and dining options, it does border a dodgy area that may not appeal to all guests.

The hotel had a unique and nicely decorated atmosphere, although the bathroom suites might need some updating.

The hotel offers clean and spacious rooms with comfortable beds, but the walls are paper-thin. The service is exceptionally friendly, and the staff is polite, providing great recommendations for nearby restaurants. The location is central to many attractions but may not be ideal due to its proximity to a high-crime area. Dining options vary from delightful to below average, depending on the dish. Overall, a comfortable stay with friendly service, despite some noise concerns.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms had a slight damp smell but were surprisingly comfortable despite being small and located on the 8th or 9th floors. The service, particularly the car pickup and friendly staff, was excellent, although it would have been better if some services were available sooner. The location in lower Nob Hill had its charm but also some unsettling aspects. The dining experience at the hotel restaurant, Safa, was below par, with a late start time being a drawback. However, the overall atmosphere felt welcoming and comfortable. The facilities were decent, but some areas needed improvement. Overall, it was an average stay with both highs and lows.
