Lynsey Smith
Hidden gem! Sure the area can be a little sketchy and the walls are thin however the staff is 11/10, and everything is new and clean. As a woman traveling alone, I always felt safe. The neighborhood is quite convenient: movie theater next door, Starbucks across the street, transit outside the door. The lobby is so charming and cozy. Well equipped for coworking or lounging while waiting for a fligh...

What a great experience! The front desk staff were all very friendly and pleasant. I felt secure and safe throughout my stay, which really matters in San Francisco. My room was spotless on arrival, and housekeeping kept it that way every single day. The lobby is beautiful and such a comfortable place to hang out or even get some work done on my laptop—it really adds to the overall experience. I a...

Secure property, friendly and helpful staff, clean and well-appointed room (love that the fridge was in a closet to avoid compressor noise) with a very adjustable thermostat (harder and harder to find in hotels these days). Great location if you're using public transportation and/or attending a show at Great American Music Hall or several other nearby venues. Could hear some street noise but the (...
