“This hotel strikes me as a place where vintage charm meets a prime location, just steps from Union Square; the hotel's character extends to its unique features like the vintage elevators. I appreciate the hotel's commitment to service, including complimentary evening sherry and staff attentiveness, plus, having the San Francisco playhouse on the second floor is a nice perk. It stands out as an urban retreat with personality.”
