    Nothing to dislike

    Everything, the room is small but it works perfectly for an inner city stay as all the facilities in the room were practical which makes it very comfortable.

    The location was a bit sketchy at night and the toilet glass door didn’t fully close. We also noticed there weren’t any films available like there used to be.

    The styling and decor is fab, it was clean and the bed was massive and comfy.

    They don't accept cash.. I've never been in a hotel bar that doesn't accept cash! Also house cleaning came at like 09:00 - 09:30 which meant I never got my room cleaned because I was on holiday and sleeping. Most hotels I've stayed in house cleaning is done early afternoon when people are out of their rooms.

    Very cool vibe. Security staff were welcoming every evening. Room was perfect for what I needed.

    The bar area and check in seemed quite dark. Everything was done using I pad which was fine but all a bit impersonal.

    Room although very small had everything we needed. It was comfortable and clean.

    The digital check-in procedure had problems checking in two rooms instead of one! The room design involved one person having to climb over the other sleeping beauty to get out of the bed at night to use the bathroom. There was no other way out of the double bed! The blank wall facing the bedroom window could do with some art work! ? You need to use your room card to get the lift working!

    Location near metro and cable car stops as well as a variety of large stores, cafes and restaurants. Facilities were excellent including gym, small roof garden, lounge areas with TVs, books, sofas, bar and cafe with drinking water on tap. The room was clean, compact and quiet with clever design features including a small fridge and safe but sufficient for a four night stay. Double bed was large and comfortable, bedding and towels of good quality. Leaving luggage during the day of departure was free.

    Modern stylish interior, superb location close to Union Square. Nice view.

    The digital checking in system for two rooms was problematic. The rooms are small but well designed however the position of the very comfortable large double bed is not ideal for a couple as it involves climbing over your partner to get out of bed in the middle of the night! The system for the elevators depends on scanning in your room card. A huge problem for us, as non-US residents, was paying for even a drink by card as often European Visa cards do not work however UK cards do (more expensive,) . Cash is not accepted by the hotel!

    The lounge and bar area are both very comfortable with some outdoor seating TVs and books as well as the vital water fountain.The well equipped gym and rooftop area are very good and important if you want to escape from your room. The metro station Powell Street is only a short walk and the cable car a bit further.

    I felt safe knowing there was a security guard on the front door and staff on reception check-in area 24 hours a day. The staff were all friendly and helpful. It is as clean. Love the blockout blinds.

    I had a great experience at the hotel. The staff was friendly, and the room had everything you could need. My favorite part was the big bed near the window with a great view. The location was also excellent—close to shops, bus stops, and restaurants.
