Really good location (of course it depends on where you want to be), clean rooms, all appliances are in decent shape, really helpful and friendly staff (Jose at the reception was fantastic, as well as a few others whose names I cannot remember), the gym access. Overall a really decent stay and can recommend to travelers who will not spend a lot of time in their room.
The rooms are small. Even the larger rooms (King, I guess) are on the smaller side. I don't like that the sink is actually in the room and not in the bathroom. Most rooms don't have a desk, tried several rooms to get one with a desk. I know that they can't really change the size of the room or the location of the sink, but maybe travelers could pay extra attention to which room they are choosing.

Amazing location - 1 block from waterfront, close to BART, business district, and many restaurants. Rafael was super friendly and helpful at front desk.
Only real problem was that wifi disconnected and had to log in each time I used my connection. Rooms are a bit dated but fine for me.

I booked two rooms--one for me and my wife, and one for an older (~80yo) couple who were cruising with us. The rooms were very small (particularly mine, as the other room was somewhat larger and nicer) but comfortable, quiet, and attractively appointed. They were approximately the same size as our cruise cabin would be! I was concerned about the hotel choice: given the location and the price, I feared it would be a dump, despite the photos/videos/reviews. The outside of the hotel isn't particularly reassuring either, but the inside is VERY NICE! The staff members were also VERY NICE and helpful. The continental breakfast was also much better than expected. The water dispenser and vending in the lobby were handy, as you otherwise face a quarter-mile or so walk for a store. The hotel is adjacent to a restaurant, which we enjoyed very much, and has views of the Bay Bridge, the Embarcadero, and many other excellent restaurants. Parking across the street was secure and easy, albeit pricey (of course!). I would definitely recommend and return, particularly for people cruising out of Pier 27. It was super convenient and a great place to start our vacation.
Our room wasn't as nice as the room I booked for our friends (although both were fine). Neither room had a view: we stared at a brick wall from both rooms. The elevator is TINY! It was a struggle to get luggage up and down. Also, I hate when the sink is in a different space from the toilet--no washing between the potty and the door (although I guess one could turn-on the shower for handwashing).

Great location, friendly helpful staff. wonderful historic building with view of Bay Bridge.
Loud. seems like the sounds of people in hallway were very loud. Ice machine was two doors away and very loud. A small refrigerator in the room would be very helpful.

4.1
Overall appearance of the hotel, the staff was courteous and helpful. The location was perfect for my meetings close by. The room was clean and quiet.
I could never get the A/C to actually cool the room down to 74/74F. It may have been operator error but nonetheless, the room was too warm on two nights.
4.1
The hotel was older but clean! The staff was nice and there was a delicious restaurant downstairs. The location was perfect for walking to Oracle Park and Pier 39 area!
Wasn't a super fan of the dribbling water pressure. No fridge/micro in the room... and although there was a lovely restaurant, they didn't offer room service. For the price, seems like these were big misses for us.
