This is a wonderful boutique hotel. We loved the location, decor, and little coffee shop attached. The cute tables outside were fun to sit at and watch the city wake up. The room was quiet and spacious. This place offered everything we needed for a truly memorable vacation.
The lobby was so fun and funky.
Decor was amazing throughout. The details were very fun and flowed beautifully together.
The words in the carpet were so fun to discover.

Good location, easy access to Union Sq and 25 minute walk to Embarcadero. We were on 7th floor but still had a fair amount of street noise every night. Hotel has cool vibe, small format. No breakfast or coffee provided, but small shop next door. Not a fan of $75 to valet, but few options in area. Front desk was friendly and helpful.
