Good value, location, and service
I stayed here during a business trip and felt it was a very good value for the location. The staff treated us very well, were always cheerful and friendly. The location was pretty good. I could walk to China town, to a great Italian restaurant on Nob Hill (about 4 blks - uphill to get there, downhill coming back), and the cable car had a stop not too far away either. Good pizza place across the street as well! It was difficult to catch a taxi in the morning, though! It was unseasonably warm when I was there and the rooms do not have air conditioning - so they were stuffy. Opened windows at night to get a breeze and then listened to city noise - but it was not awful (we were not on the street side). Rooms were comfortable, a bit dated, fairly roomy. Towels seemed very new and were soft - not hard and think like many older hotels. The pillows could use some updating to be a little more comfy! Hotel had a very European feel to it - loved that about it. Breakfast was nothing fantastic, but it was free and I'm not a big breakfast eater. We rented a car for one overnight and they aren't kidding, it is extremely narrow to get in the parking garage. It's free - but definitely only bring a small car! We were told our car was economy size - but I think it really was mid-size and we had to inch it in with the mirrors tucked in. It was stressful and tricky getting it in and out of there. But, it was free. Overall - had an enjoyable stay and the price was fantastic.
