i stayed at the hotel for two nights, and chose the site because of the review on Trip Advisor. The site said it was full, but I called the hotel directly, and was given the one and only room left. The hotel is very charming, and the staff very accommodating, A full / free breakfast is served in the restaurant and was excellent. I appreciated the fresh pink rose on my dining table. Joanna, my server was a sunny and energetic gal and as I was travelling sola (senior lady) I enjoyed her conversation. The hotel is only 3 blocks from Union Square, just turn the corner onto Powell, one steep block and two easy blocks. The shopping was wonderful, I did Macy's and the DWS Fashion Shoe discount store. A good burger spot on Powell, well priced and huge, it was right across from the Park. The owner, is a handsome French senior gentleman and even helped me with my luggage upon departure. I had a back inner facing room and it was quiet, I was comfortable and felt entirely safe walking around the neighborhood during the day. Did the Hop on and off Tour, 2 day package and it was a good way to see the sites and get acquainted with the entire town. Great trip, love San Francisco.
