Cute, friendly, and great location.
Pros: As with most City hotels the rooms were small but well appointed. Very friendly and knowledgable front desk with free fruit, tea, and coffee all day. Great location near the Oakland bay bridge and Port of San Francisco. Associated Perry's restaurant offered food and libation all day long.
Cons: Concierge had facts of offered discount for Big Bus Tour wrong (cost $10 more than stated). Weekend noise was considerable out front of hotel.

Pros: The room had everything one would need during the stay, had modern fixtures and gadgets, and was very clean and comfortable. Location was very convenient for getting around town - right by subway, cable cars, tour bus stops and waterfront. About 15 min walk to major hustle and bustle of union sq but nice and quiet. Would stay here again.

Pros: Nice hotel (good rooms) in a good position near Bay Bridge, the embarcadero and Port of San Francisco. The hotel offer to the customers coffee and fruits.
Cons: It would be better if the restaurant close to the hotel will offer also a classic continental/European breakfast.

Lovely hotel for a weekend...
Pros: Wonderful location; excellent restaurant on site. The staff is very friendly. The rooms are small, but comfortable.
Cons: I guess someone has to stay near the housekeeping closets. The staff was quiet, but we could still hear every time they opened the door early in the morning and later in the evening. Also, the room was quite dark with no view but the walls of the building. This isn't their fault. I would just make sure and request a room with a view and away from the ice machine and housekeeping closet.

Would definitely stay here again.
Pros: The room was small but very nice.
Cons: A couple of things. My room, 401, had a definite slope to the floor. Walking from the foot of the bed to the head was an uphill climb, which was strange but it did get you moving when you got out of bed and made the downhill trip. The shower handle was loose (again, 401). Finally, I am not sure if all the rooms are like this but the tv is mounted above a mirror and is very high. Watching it in bed is similar to spreading a blanket on the ground and gazing up at the stars.

Stay in San Francisco
Pros: The room was small. The bed was comfortable. However, our first room was like being in a box with no windows. We were given a room with a city view upon request, which was nice!
Cons: The room was like a box. There were no newspapers in the lobby. The restaurant was good but expensive.

Pros: The mattress was excellent. Nice linens and pillows. The front desk was friendly and helpful. The location was pretty much in the financial district, but SF is a very walkable city.
Cons: The rooms were small, but it is a boutique hotel. Having our bathroom sink in the bedroom was odd. The lobby was not a good place to hang out and relax. The bench seating was not very comfortable.
