This hotel is one of the most unique that I have stayed at because there is so much detail in the decorations everywhere that it really makes you feel like you are transported to a royal property in the 1800s. The elevator didn’t work but I didn’t mind because I was able to check out the paintings and the unusual format of the hotel.
The hotel is located in a safe area right near Japantown and within walking distance to downtown SF as well.
The staff was very friendly. The only negative thing I can say is that this booking includes photos from many different rooms at the hotel. I chose this booking because the picture showed a nice big jacuzzi. However, when I got there, the front desk worker informed me that I had booked a regular room, and that the jacuzzi suite would cost additional money. The front desk person then took pity on me and upgraded me to the jacuzzi suite for free so no complaints! But, I wouldn’t count on that for every stay.
Overall a really great stay in a hotel that seems frozen in time!
