"The staff were so friendly and helpful, couldn’t do enough for you. The bar area is great, the rooms are comfortable and spacious. Location is right at the top of the steep hill at California St but the cable car stop is also there. The only reason I haven’t given it a 5* is the breakfast could be improved. You have to hand in a breakfast buffet voucher (pay extra for à la carte) and you are handed a plate (v old and scratched). Options are limited and no table service. You have to make your own tea in a paper cup. That doesn’t make it a luxury hotel in my view."

"We checked in for only 1 night but our room was meticulously cleaned and the bathroom is nice & big with lots of space. The beds are very comfortable and our room had a patio overlooking golf course. Although a little dated, the hotel is still very nice & in a quiet area. Another plus is a huge (free) parking lot with ample parking spots. There are also a lot of restaurants in the area plus a Starbucks down the road if you’re looking. Free continental breakfast in the morning but basic, nothing fancy. Nice place and highly recommend."

"The hotel is in an excellent location just a few steps from Union Square, the cable car stop, and the BART train station, not to mention all the clothing stores and food options around it. The room was clean and very comfortable with a refrigerator inside, and I really liked the free cookies, apples, and water in the lobby. However, the service from the lobby staff could be improved, as they misplaced my small suitcase and only found it after checking three times. Management should improve staff training so they follow protocols and do not affect customers. I would stay at the hotel again, but I would be careful with the lobby staff."
