Fantastic deal and a great experience!
I loved this hotel. You’ll want to stay here first for the price and the location – the cheapest hotel in the area by far. Moreover, I didn’t find anything about the hotel that had to be tolerated for the good price. The front desk staff was fantastic – the first man I encountered carried my luggage up to my room for me and reminded me to take a coat when I was heading out for dinner. The others always said hello. It’s in the heart of the Union Square area, very close to restaurants, incredible shopping, and the convention center. It is an old building but I like the character that gives a place. My room had big beautiful windows that looked out on Sutter and had the wide windowsills you see in movies. The elevator is a little wonky but beautiful. The rooms are unconventional – the sink is outside the bathroom – but nothing that is truly inconvenient. The bed was comfortable – my room was cleaned well every day. I received a cord to get internet – he said it would be faster than their wireless – I’m not sure what I did to deserve that but it would be something to check on because there didn’t seem to be a large stock of cords. The TV only had 4 channels but I don’t see how you could want to watch TV in such an exciting city. Apparently some of the rooms have shared bathrooms and there was a hostel feel to it in that there were real travelers walking about and a kitchen down the hall from me, but the young travelers were never rowdy or loud. I could hear city noise but never heard the other residents of the hotel. This place offers a fantastic deal and a very pleasant experience.
