Good Experience

This place had great style. The room was very comfortable and well decorated as well as clean. The location was great depending on why you are in San Fran. We were able to walk to most places. Prob not the best place to go for a first time tourist trip to san fran. Good for art studios, and the like. The diner across the street on the corner had a great breakfast. We watched a bum try to break into a car right outside the window though. Another tried coming inside to ask for food/money and was quickly told asked to leave. I was a bit surprised at the amount of homeless in the area, but, pretty much typical stuff for a big city. The restaurant/bar in the hotel was very nice; very hip crowd. A bit too cool for my taste and almost impossible to find a seat, but it was fun to people watch. It was very cold when we visited and I appreciated the variety of free hot herbal teas in the lobby. Oh, one more thing. Probably not a good family hotel at all. For one, there weren't any families there--usually a good sign. In fact, my sister came to meet us for lunch (she lives near there). She met us in the lobby with her 3 kids. We were all very excited to see each other, exchanging energetic hugs and laughs at the front entrance. It seemed to make the receptionists extremely uncomfortable, as if it was bad for business having happy kids there. The kids weren't touching anything, but were full of energy. No big deal, whatever. We left for lunch and that was it. It was just pretty obvious. Other than that, we really did enjoy our stay. Perhaps a bit pricey though. You're mostly paying for trendiness in my opinion (which is something I don't personally really mind). Just preference.
