We’d never been to San Francisco, and this was a great place to be. Hayes Valley is a great neighborhood - probably would have been our favorite even if we weren’t staying there.
Room was smallish but very nice and very clean. Common space was good sized and stylish.
We arrived a little bit early, and even though we were communicating by text, we were able to check in early within a few minutes. Communication was excellent from the jump.
Our room faced the street, and with no A/C the only way to get air was to open the windows. I was actually expecting it to be louder than it was, but there are definitely city noises (sirens, loud cars, etc.) that will wake a light sleeper occasionally.
Overall, a really nice experience.
