  • 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

Privire rapidă: A historic Nob Hill dame that's currently fighting a foreclosure lawsuit and losing the battle against its own elevators.

Evaluat de @visit_sfI 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.

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)

Curățenie și Întreținere

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.

  • Plumbing noise from adjacent bathrooms

Înainte să rezervi

Bine de știut

  • 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.

Ce să împachezi

  • Earplugs (essential for street-facing rooms)
  • Comfortable walking shoes (heels are dangerous on these hills)
  • A refillable water bottle (FloWater stations are available)

Geniu pentru Cameră

Selecții de top

  • 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)

Camere de evitat

  • Low floor rooms facing California Street (maximum cable car noise)
  • Rooms near the elevator bank (noise + crowds waiting)

Geniu pentru Cereri de Cameră – copiază și lipește

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.

Întrebări frecvente și sfaturi ascunse

Tot ceea ce vrei de fapt să știi înainte de a rezerva.

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.


Sfaturi de Insider

  • 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.

5 lucruri pe care trebuie să le știi înainte să pleci

  • 💡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.
