Nice stay, good location. Had a nice conversation with the person who brought us wine and cheese about the hotel and music. Room was nice. No air conditioning which was not a problem this visit but might be on those rare days it gets hot.

Quaint retro hotel
Quaint hotel with old world charm. Stayed in a Junior Suite with a fireplace and king bed. Incredibly quiet despite the busy street below and very comfortable bed. Very friendly and helpful staff. Great location on Nob Hill with an easy walk to shopping and the embarcadero.

Awesome Hotel
I've stayed in expensive hotels, various ones in SF. The price and location was great as was the continental breakfast. I'm a foodie and the coffee was amazing as were the pastries. Coffee/tea available all day. I only went 1x to the late afternoon wine hour but it was great. Highly recommend. Ask for a room w an electric fireplace.
