Basically at the middle of the downtown perfect place to go to Embarcadero north or South Mission St. I’ll be back for sure
If you want a classic old school in sf downtown, it s here. My room had classic marble fixtues with a serious commercial toilet. My room was brilliantly lit. The bed was firm just the way i love it. The staff are o polite and old school. The place alive with antiques. They dont have breakfast so who cares? Go to the donut place close by.
Decent stay. Close to convention center and other hotels. Great price and walkable to almost everywhere. The neighborhood outside is a little rough and very active all night. I didn’t mind the noise, but some might.
This is an old hotel in the Tenderloin and it feels like it. But the staff are above-and-beyond cool and my 5-day stay felt a bit like coming home to family whenever I dropped off or picked up my key.
A charming vintage property with polite and helpful staff. Don’t come here if you all the bells and whistles of a corporate chain; come here if you want to go back in time 100 years and bathe in a claw foot tub and show your kids what a pay phone looks like. Don’t worry, sheets are new and clean, towels are replaced daily, and it’s a comfortable stay. That said, San Francisco has a large unhoused population, and this neighborhood isn’t immune.
My father and I stayed at the hotel for several days while visiting San Francisco. This hotel was a time capsule. We met the owner several times and he has done his best to keep the hotel in its original condition when it opened in 1912.
The hotel was clean, staff was friendly, and well managed. Outside the hotel was a bus stop and subway station.
If you are looking for a simple quaint hotel this fits the bill. Thanks
The hotel is very nice. Front desk is friendly and room is nice. My only complaint is more about outside. Market street is super loud at night so it’s hard to sleep. Parking is also kinda hard so be prepared to move your car or possibly park in a garage.
This hotel is ideal for solo travelers. The rooms are clean and spacious. However, it is a bit unfortunate that you can hear noise from neighboring rooms. Additionally, it's slightly inconvenient that you need assistance from hotel staff to open the entrance door, as the door is locked for security reasons.

Area is little off the downtown towards more homeless. The place is an old and rundown place. Ensure you ask for a room with bathroom, few rooms are with shared bathrooms. Step outside of the hotel, ensure you are not flasy, lots of homeless people living around the area.
Old hotel built in 1912. Clean and well preserved. Lots of vintage furnisings in public areas. Street noise is really loud. Contrary to hotel info no breakfast is offered. Internet did not work at all.
The bathroom was cramped and old. Lacking space to place items and hang cloths. The neighborhood is dangerous at night and noisy. Got woken up mutiple time to people yelling outside.
Tv
doesn't work. No heat. No phone. Choose TV or heat.. not both cause tris electricity
Desk clerk conned us about heat
Likely dishonest operation per health Laws.
