“The staff's attentiveness appears to be a genuine highlight, making this recently reopened San Francisco property worth considering. It seems to offer a clean, quiet respite despite its urban setting; bear in mind that rooms lack air conditioning. For a traveler seeking a hospitable, straightforward experience, especially with last-minute plans, it seems a reasonable choice.”
