The hotel was not really as it was pictured. Significantly older and did not really give a “boutique” feel. Minor upgrades would make a major impact here.
Check in was tough as I waited outside for 10 minutes. The front desk attendant was sitting on the couches with his feet up in the dark and didn’t see me trying to get in.
The elevator was is very slow and small.
The last night of my stay, my TV did not work.
Also, they should consider giving their guests water…
The daytime staff members were nice upon entering and exiting the lobby. The housekeeping staff did great with room refreshing.
Pros:
- Comfortable bed, for the most part.
- Staff were nice and worked to resolve issues as best they could.
Cons:
- The bathroom has seen better days.
- Noisy. I was woken up by garbage trucks knocking out the contents of dumpsters at probably 100 dB (as heard inside the room) at 30 minutes past midnight. Also, my room had shared door to the adjoining room which was not soundproofed at all. I could hear the conversations happening in the next room clearly, and what seemed to be the husband's nasty cough was distracting at times.
- There were 2 ice machines in total, on different floors. The 3rd floor ice machine did not dispense ice, and leaked water onto the ground when it tried (see picture). Though I reported this to the staff at the start of my stay, it was not fixed by the time I checked out.
- The front of the side table's drawer was falling off when I checked in (see picture). I complained to the staff and they sent a handyman to fix it fairly promptly, though the smell of the resin that he used kept me out of the room for the rest of the day.
- The "refrigerator" in the room is really just a cooler. It did not seem to actively cool the contents, and anything cold I put in there was close to room temperature within 12 hours. It's not suitable for food, and in my mind, false advertising.

The stairs are uneven so it was a scary climb to the higher floors. The 1 elevator is very small as well as the fitness room. However the staff was very nice.
Front desk was nice, rooms were clean for the most part, AC unit did it’s job, beds were pretty comfortable for the one night we were there, decent location for food and drinks, would recommend for one or two night trips for the price
We went during New Year’s Eve so check in and parking was quite busy. Couldn’t find a spot in the loading for valet. But the overall stay was affordable, clean, and very nice. The hotel is super cute and looks like the photos.
The staffing was great, vintage old look inside. They did had Valet but will suggest not to leave anything in the car due to homeless all around SF.

The property was still under construction. Nothing was open yet like it looks on the pictures. The rooms were okay but did have a weird smell. The disappointment comes from all the homeless there is around that area.

Stayed at hotel during remodeling. So there was a dumpster out front and the bar and coffee area where out of service. The internet was out so the TV wasnt working. However the room and atmosphere where great. I will return when all.amenities are open.
Not the best area. Staff was new and not very helpful. Elevator was broken. Our room didn’t have hot water and the room they wanted to move us to had mold.
There was only one tiny elevator, which was out of service, so guests had to take multiple flights of stairs with their luggage.

Be sure you know that you’re staying in the Tenderloin. Pictures look much nicer than the hotel actually was. Restaurant, bar and coffee shop were all closed and not operating. Building is old, so they have a window AC instead of central air. Rug smelled musty when first came into the room. WiFi was not working at all, and it had very bad reception.
