I stayed in one of the front rooms which was very noisy as it faced a firewall. Despite staying only one night, the noisy environment could be bothersome for longer stays. The room lacked drinking glasses in the bathroom, had thin and scratchy towels, overly high pillows, and required chair-climbing to adjust the fan speed. There was no facility for making coffee or tea in the room, the safe was not functional, and the window overlooked a huge concrete wall.

The dining experience at the adjacent Bartlett House Pub was convenient, offering a nice breakfast for $7. However, the lack of dining options within the hotel itself was a downside.

The hotel had clean and spacious rooms but was noisy due to a loud ventilation system outside. The staff was helpful overall but lacked info on certain services like bus tickets and laundry. The location was very convenient with various attractions nearby, but walking at night felt a bit unsafe. Dining at the adjacent Bartlett House Pub was decent, with an option for an excellent $7 breakfast. The facilities were average, with room for improvement.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of comfort and convenience. The rooms, though facing the inner patio, were clean and comfortable, just as shown in the pictures. The early check-in request was not accommodated promptly, but the overall experience was positive.

Rooms

The rooms, although small and facing the inner patio with views of another hotel, were clean and comfortable, matching the pictures shown during booking. However, they were not available until 2 pm despite requesting an early check-in.
Service
7.0
The staff were super friendly, especially when it came to handling my room change. However, their attentiveness was lacking at times. On the upside, they were quick and efficient in responding to requests for fresh linen and towels.
Location
9.0
The location of the hotel was very convenient, just a few minutes from Union Square and within walking distance to the Moscone West conference center. It was perfect for exploring the area and accessing public transportation easily. Additionally, despite being in SF, the room was surprisingly spacious.
Dining
6.0
The dining experience was not bad with the option to receive a 50% voucher for breakfast at the adjacent Barttlett House Pub. The indulgent pastries were a highlight, but the overall dining could be improved.
Facilities
8.0
The facilities were decent, with a minimalist decor, comfortable beds, good lighting, and a pleasantly quiet ambiance despite the central location. The hotel also had many nice restaurants around, adding to the overall experience.
