“In my opinion, this family-run San Francisco landmark, dating back to 1914, offers a surprisingly updated experience in a historic building. Its location on Union Square places guests steps from both the Powell Street cable car line and the Theater District. I think its blend of tradition and modern convenience makes it a worthwhile choice for travelers.”
