Solid stay for just a night or two. Older property, no frills but good location on Powell, staff great and room itself clean and quiet. Bed and pillows really good. Will use again for short stays without need for lots of hotel services.

My room was small, but it is good for a solo business trip. Hotel staff accommodated me for an early check-in and was friendly. It is located just in front of the giant Macy's store in Union Square, and safe and concenient for local dining and walking around. I would stay again.

The building is kind of shabby, with lots of scuffs, cracks, chipped paint, smells old in hallways, etc. Even the rug in the entryway needs help. The Internet wasn't adequate for the work I needed to get done. But the location is convenient, the room was clean, staff was good, and it was lower priced than most of the places I'd want to stay in SF. The thing that threw me was actually the reviews on Expedia, which called it amazing.
