Wonderful
Great location in Japantown. Walking distance to a lot of shopping and restaurants.
Parking was not easy as is probably typical for San Francisco. Garage is small and not easy to get in and out of.

Poor
Very little to be honest - struggling to think of any redeeming features. Location is solid, that’s about it! Bathroom and walk in shower were quite nice, but finishing wasn’t the best.
More of a Motel than a Hotel, and I knew immediately on check in that I was going to be disappointed. Prices were very high, and that didn’t even get you a bottle of complimentary water in the room - the last thing I wanted to do after travelling for 16 hours + was to go hunting for water! Room was very average relative to the cost, and the sound insulation was so poor, that I could more or hear the phone conversation of another guest in the adjacent room! Breakfast of eggs and avocado featured one hot egg and one lukewarm egg - how is this possible! - and the chef appeared to also be the server, which just gave the impression the property was not appropriately staffed. Due to stay 4 nights and checked out after on,y one night - even that was painful, with front desk being unable to resolve this basic ask and they had to get the manager involved. Cancellation of additional nights was eventually resolved satisfactorily, but it was not straightforward. A property to avoid..

Great location and room, older building meant you could hear and feel doors slamming shut.
As I was traveling from oversees, I was unfamiliar with the “extra” fees for processing the room booking. The price received via booking.com vs the price I paid ended up being an extra $400, and I didn’t order anything or charge anything else to the room.

Very helpful staff, great location, and nice rooms. Each room seems to have a bay window which makes them really enjoyable. The rooms are comfortable and clean, the beds are great, and the environment is relaxing.
The lobby is down a half level, which makes it a little dark. Perhaps a little more lighting and more separate seating groups would improve it. Otherwise, this is a wonderful hotel.

We loved the hotel in general. It's clean, the rooms are comfortable, and the staff friendly. There is a nice roof garden with chairs, the lobby is cozy and equipped with couches, tables, wifi, and courtesy wine.
Not just about this hotel, but hotels in San Francisco in general (in the USA more broadly) do not include the parking space. And it's never cheap, so you end up paying more than expected for the stay.

Upon check-in, staff was friendly and helpful. Lobby was very clean leading to a great first impression. Our room was spacious and very clean. Thoughtful touches like q-tips and cotton balls set it apart. It was nice and quiet. A calm oasis in a hectic city.
