    TV didn’t always work. Had to have it serviced. One reason I stayed was to watch any follow up news stories on city events. One day it worked, next night came back later to watch news. Wouldn’t load channels. Desk will get it working, but that was next day. Nice big window only opens a crack. Fire escape stairs outside window. Suppose it’s for safety. Limits airflow in room. Construction going on next door. Only hear thru window but with that being open, started early am.

    Location is a big plus. Easy to get to bus, cable car, BART. Stay here saved from walking the steep hill towards Nob Hill. Take the cable car to California St. have stayed here before. No air conditioning in room. Deep tub. Bed was comfortable, pillows were fine didn’t upgrade. Asked for room facing Powell, only heard cable cars a few times, slept with window open. Traffic dies down later at night. You’ll want that window open in summer especially! No extra window for cross breeze. Yes, they supply a table fan and room heater. Didn’t need heater. Also ceiling fan. The room was still warm.

    Just the smell on the aisles, and the bed, the matress too soft for us and bed was queen (smaller I would say)

    It is a beautiful building in the middle of everything, great staff, the bathroom was impecable, good water pressure, just the bed not good for us (small and soft) and no air conditioner, you could opened windows for the hot weather. Love the free cookies, free water, free coffee and popcorn! They cleaned our room everyday

    The room and the bed were smaller than I've experienced in the rest of the US, but perhaps it's normal in San Francisco

    Loved the 24/7 cookies! I appreciated the pillow menu and how available the staff have been with our requests. The room was nice, and I enjoyed being right next to union square
