“This historic hotel has a welcoming feel, thanks to its attentive staff and daily wine receptions. Though some rooms are small and service at the front desk can be inconsistent, the location near Union Square and the Powell Street cable car is ideal for sightseeing. I especially appreciate that there are no resort fees.”
