Great spot to stay. Close to the Museum of Modern Arts, you can walk to the fisherman's wharf, there's plenty of public transportation options around. The hotel was good, free breakfast is in another property but it's less than a three minute walk. Overall, extremely satisfied with the experience!

Close to Masonic
The hotel is cute and quaint. Check in was easy. There was a strong smell of cleaning chemicals when we entered our room We tried to shower before dinner but there was no hot water. The walls are paper thin and our neighbors woke us up having a conversation at 2 in the morning. The next morning we tried to shower and again no hot water. Also, the outlets sparked when we tried to plug in our phone charger. The place was cute but we’d probably stay somewhere else next time. We were happy that it was so close to the Masonic so that was a bonus for us.

Shared toilet with no sink to wash your hands was disappointing. Had to upgrade room.
Carpet has a smell due the pet friendly hotel.
Great staff- Maria and team.

Skittles puts smiles on faces and greets them. That is a plus. Same with the staff. Lobby and the hallways smelled good all day every day. They even had filtered hot and cold water dispenser. We will be coming back again!

Very quaint and peaceful. I absolutely loved my stay there. It was one of the most peaceful night's sleep I've ever had a hotel. The complimentary breakfast at their sister hotel was definitely a bonus. We were treated as welcomed guests, and with great hospitality. I would love to stay there again.

This is a bit of a sketchy part of San Francisco . . . Could be worse though. I really like the design and architecture of these old buildings and would rather stay in them than big hotels. This hotel is a really interesting building and the decor was cool.
Not having a bathroom would be annoying if I was staying more than one night but I suppose that’s built into the price.

We got there the 4th of July. I asked the person at the desk how to get to Fisherman’s Wharf. If there was a bus or trolley we could take there. He didn’t seem to sure at first then told us where we can can catch the bus but I was a little confused. We have never been to SF. We didn’t even find what he mentioned. A map or to write down the directions or something would have been very helpful. His overall demeanor was not very friendly. He almost seemed annoyed with my questions.
In the room I was disappointed that there were no screens on the windows. So if you open any of the windows it is completely open for anything to get in. That is weird to me. And there was no hand soap. We were only staying two nights so we just used the shower gel.
And the breakfast is a couple hotels down. It was ok I was just surprised it wasn’t there.
Other than this it was ok.
