Nice Stay (For the most part)

We love the location and the staff is very friendly. I will have to say though, I am not sure if the waste management trash service is on Saturday mornings for this location. It was very noisy early Saturday morning with the sounds of bottles being broken in the alley closest to our room.

Once charming now just sad!

I am a frequent booker on behalf of a corporate team. This little hotel chain used to be charming and I have used them in Culver City, Hollywood and San Francisco because we have an office nearby. the vibe is "historic"with very small rooms, but it was generally liked by our team. The Hotel used to commandeer high rates which is why I had to seek alternatives and replaced this SF property as our mainstay because the city simply had better value propositions. When they recently dropped the rates significantly I gave it another try with 3 bookings and I have had nothing but complaints from our travelers. - Non functioning AC on multiple occasions with no option to change rooms because the "entire floor had no AC", - Windows painted shut, -water spots from leaks everywhere, -electric outlets dangerously violating safety codes. When problems are brought to the attention of the Front Desk it is at best met with a shoulder shrug, if not with an almost mouthy attitude and the most compensation a traveler can expect is to have the "destination fee" refunded. Pretty daring to ask for one to begin with when not even the basic expectations can be met. Sorry to see this once cute hotel fall into disrepair like this. We will be taking our business elsewhere.

The hotel doesn’t room service and didn’t do well with house keeping requests. I had to go down multiple times to request towels and eventually had to go up with the towels myself.

Trash pickup at 10pm and 5:30am was incredibly loud and not short in duration. Walls of the hotel were so thin that I heard every conversation and TV show as if it were in my room. Brutal

Pretty small room but quality design and finishings. We really liked the local bar too, great cocktail. We had a room at the back which was so quiet, between that and the comfortable bed, we slept great.

The hotel is old and cool. Aesthetic is hip. A bit of a sketchy area of town but close to some stuff. Service is just ok. Price was great. So feel like the value balances out.
