Northern California Romantic Vacations

Excellent experience all around. Particularly with a staff member (Charles at front desk) who really did make our visit so much better. His recommendations were all excellent. Hotel is gorgeous and all the sitting areas are peaceful and elegant.

The building itself is truly impressive, with a sense of history and grandeur that makes a strong first impression. The location is also excellent, very convenient for exploring San Francisco. That said, some areas of the hotel feel dated. The hallways in particular look old and have a harsh white lighting that feels more like a hospital than a luxury property. The rooms have high ceilings and a good size, which is a plus, but the bathrooms are relatively small. The white lighting in the rooms also creates a very cold ambiance, which takes away from the overall comfort. In general, much of the furniture throughout the hotel could benefit from a renovation. Overall, it’s a beautiful historic property in a great location. With some thoughtful modernization that respects and blends with the hotel’s classic character, it could truly be exceptional.

Excellent location which is very walkable and has a ton of nearby activities. The building is great, has a lot of character, is well maintained, and is a pleasure to stay in. Good on-premise dining and wine tasting options!

Breakfast was great, the hotel is beautiful, the rooms are large with comfortable beds and well functioning and relatively quiet A/C. One of few times I've stayed in a hotel that was quiet from above and from the hallway.
