Iconic location at the intersection of two cable car lines
Sweeping skyline and bay views from upper floors
Tech-forward amenities like Chromecast and lobby iMacs
快速了解: A historic Nob Hill dame that's currently fighting a foreclosure lawsuit and losing the battle against its own elevators.
@visit_sf 的评论: I stayed here for a weekend and fell in love with the vibe. The library in the lobby is so chic, and having coffee by the window with that city view was my favorite morning ritual. It's the perfect mix of cozy and cool.
住过这里的客人说
The hype
The location and views are world-class, but the aging infrastructure and steep fees leave a sour taste.
Reality check
You will likely wait a long time for an elevator, and the 'Urban Fee' feels like a rip-off when amenities like bikes are useless on such steep hills.
You are a deep sleeper who loves city sounds
You prioritize views over modern plumbing
You want to be walking distance to Chinatown and Union Square (and have strong calves)
清洁与维护
6
Housekeeping: Inconsistent. Daily service is standard, but reviews mention missed spots and rushed cleaning.
Bathroom hygiene: Aging fixtures show rust and grout discoloration. Water pressure is decent.
Maintenance: CRITICAL FAIL. Broken elevators, peeling paint, and scuffed furniture are common complaints.
Linens & towels: Standard hotel quality. Clean but not luxurious.
Odors & scents: Generally neutral, though some hallways have a 'musty old building' smell.

预订前须知
须知事项
The hill is NO JOKE. It is one of the steepest in the city. Walking back to the hotel is a workout.
Valet parking is mandatory and costs ~$75/night + tax. Use a rideshare if possible.
The 'Urban Fee' (~$45) is mandatory and adds up quickly.
行李打包清单
Earplugs (essential for street-facing rooms)
Comfortable walking shoes (heels are dangerous on these hills)
A refillable water bottle (FloWater stations are available)
房间精灵
最佳选择
Premier View King (High Floor, North Facing) for the best bay views
Interior Courtyard rooms for darkness and quiet (if you don't care about views)
需要避免的房间

Rooms near the elevator bank (noise + crowds waiting)

“I am requesting a 'Premier View' room on the highest possible floor, facing North towards the Bay. If that is unavailable, I would prefer a quiet interior courtyard room away from the elevators.”
常见问题和隐藏提示
预订前您真正想了解的一切。
Is the elevator situation really that bad?
Yes. Lawsuits and reviews confirm chronic failures where only 1 of 3 elevators works, causing massive delays.
Does the hotel have air conditioning?
Yes, all rooms have AC, which is a rarity for older San Francisco buildings.
Is breakfast included?
No. There is a buffet at The Mixing Room ($24-$36), but it is not free.
Can I walk to Union Square?
Yes, it's a 10-minute walk downhill. The walk back up is strenuous.
Is it pet friendly?
Yes, but fees are steep: ~$75 per stay plus a potential cleaning fee.
What is the 'Urban Fee'?
A mandatory ~$45 nightly charge covering WiFi, bike rentals, coffee, and gym access.
内部人士建议
✨
Ask for a room ending in '02' or '04' on high floors for corner views.
✨
The 'courtyard' view is basically a brick wall—only book this if you plan to sleep all day.
✨
Skip the hotel breakfast; walk 5 minutes to a local cafe in Chinatown for better, cheaper food.
出发前需要了解的5件事
💡The 'Foreclosure' Vibe: Staff are trying their best, but the financial uncertainty hangs over the property.
💡The Bike Rental Trap: The fee includes bikes, but the hotel is at the top of a hill that only pro cyclists can conquer.
💡The Cable Car Alarm: The first car runs early. If you're on a low floor, you *will* hear the bell.
💡The 'Tech' is Aging: The 'MacBooks in the lobby' were cool in 2015; now they're just kind of there.
💡The Water Situation: No bottled water in rooms; you must use the hallway filling stations.
