    Great experience. Hotel was very accommodating and commutative. Early check-in request was honored which simplified things considerably. Bed - super comfy. Lovely terrace. Room 403 in back of hotel was quiet and clean. Would be helpful if some silverware was provided. Also walls are not thick but thankfully other guests were pretty considerate. Luggage storage on a Sunday was easier than I anticipated (UPS store).

    This was the perfect place to stay if you wanna stay in the Castro. Extremely well located… There’s an incredible market across the street to pick up some food and snacks… all of the bars and restaurants are within walking distance… I would 100% stay there again when in San Francisco…
