I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were beautifully decorated, and the bathroom with a sunken bathtub was just lovely. However, the shower was a bit wonky at times. The service was top-notch, with the staff accommodating my request for a high floor providing great service. The hotel's location was perfect, right next to the art district and close to everything downtown. The dining experience was superb, especially with the hot sandwiches. The facilities were fantastic overall.

The hotel is located in the lively Tenderloin area, offering close proximity to the vibrant art district and the convenience of being in the center of Downtown. While the rooms boast a nice view and aesthetically pleasing bathrooms, some showers may need attention. The pricing could be considered a slightly higher side, but overall, it's a value-for-money option for exploring the city.
