The hotel has a unique lobby, it’s welcoming. The staff are friendly and welcoming.The coffee and biscuits are nice in the morning in the lobby. It’s close to union square, walkable to fisherman’s wharf, but you have to consider the steep hills,china town is walkable.

I had fond memories of this place from years back, and decided to give it another go.The place is OK, and the staff is fine. Parking is outrageously expensive. Pro Tip: Park yourself in the structure around the corner - it’s about half off the valet price. Disturbingly, Expedia double billed me for this stay, and the KPH manager is working with them to refuse a refund to me, even though the double billing isn’t my fault. Stay somewhere else if you can. And use Orbitz.

Staff were friendly snd courteous. Its very convenient to walk around restaurant, theaters and parking garages. It is also reasonably priced for the room..it was very loud and the windows are soundproof, that we can hear the protesters down the street early in the morning. They provide free mandalines, biscottis and coffee and hot chocolate by the lobby for free. Room was clean and spacious for me and my husband. The hotel was little bit old, i think they should change the head boards, sliding doors in the shower and probably make the beds more softer or comfortable. We will definitely come back to this hotel.

I loved the vintage feel and the fact that a playhouse was housed in the facility. I like the bed and sheets and decor. The staff was very helpful. I didn't like the noise from the hotel strikers. It was numbing and went on and on--I was in a front room and I couldn't hear myself think think for almost three hours on Wednesday morning and again the next morning.

Old but nice hotel. Very friendly and helpful staff. Noisy because the neighboring hotel chain workers were loudly on strike. Good value for the money.

Very nice stay
Right down the street from Union Square and all the shops and dining one could want or need, this location was perfect for our plan to ‘walk the city’. Everything was in walking distance. The Powell cable car runs half a block away and many your busses left right across the street. Friendly staff, clean room, historical and charming hotel. Zero issues and would stay here again.

We stayed here for the last 8 nights and it was lovely. Great location for getting just about anywhere in the city, the staff (especially Adam!!!) were lovely and the hotel itself is charming. It shares space with the Elks Club and a Playhouse which was fun for the atmosphere and the interesting people coming and going. My partner and I took full advantage of the free sherry in the evenings when getting back from long days of exploring. There is a free water machine in the lobby to refill your bottles, which was also handy. Only criticism I would have would be that one elevator was out the whole visit which made for some long waits. Thank you again, and we miss you already, Adam!!!

Inexperienced and rude staff
The hotel has inexperienced staff that are rude. I booked a room up for my associate for three days and she was not aware that the check out day was today and so she didn’t take her stuff out of the room. The staff insinuated that she was trying to be sneaky and have a room for free. Now, how would that be possible? She just was unaware that the room was not booked for one other night. We wanted to add another night but the staff was so unfriendly and insulting. We had to check out immediately.
