My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room was on the small side with a seriously comfy bed, and it had a big closet with a great lighted mirror, although the view overlooked a 7-11 with some disturbances. The service was a bit slow, but the staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. The location was amazing, allowing for easy walks to various attractions, yet the cramped bathroom was a downside. The dining experience lacked certain amenities, but the grilled seafood was tasty.

I found this hotel to be a mixed experience. The rooms were small but well-equipped with everything we needed, though a bit cramped for two people. The bedding was cozy and the overall cleanliness and modern decor were impressive. The service was friendly and helpful, with a nice perk of a 20% discount at Lori's Diner. The location was conveniently close to Union Square with easy access to various attractions, but the area had some concerns regarding safety and homeless presence. The dining options were decent, especially with nearby restaurants, but not everything lived up to the website claims. Overall, a stay with its ups and downs.

The hotel is conveniently located near Union Square, making it easy to explore the city. The rooms, however, are small and outdated, and the service lacks hospitality. The staff's behavior in front of guests was unprofessional, but the location is a plus for quick stays in San Francisco.

The hotel's rooms, though smaller than average, are well set out and modern, representing a substantial improvement from our last stay at Hotel Cartwright. The service, with friendly and efficient staff like Kevin and Edward, is top-notch. The location close to the historical cable car and Union Square offers a lovely experience, though the room size may be a downside. The dining options could be improved, but there are nearby eateries available. The hotel's facilities are convenient, and pet amenities are a bonus.
