Small room but excellent living room.
Morning buffet is much more than continental in other hotels, it would be great if adding some varieties from day to day

Great bed
Young modern auto-checkin tiny room hotel. The rooms although small, are comfortable - very much for one person and quite for two people. The comfortable large bed is cornered flush at end of room which turns out to be very practical.

Very nice if you're into small rooms
If you're ok with small rooms, then you will love this hotel. It was clean, convenient to everything and above all, very quiet. I however didn't like it. The room was too small and that's my fault, I didn't read about the hotel, I only looked at ratings.

Good value option in San Francisco
The room itself is extremely small with very little room to place luggage, but suited our needs for a short stop in San Francisco.
The location is reasonable and it was one of the better value hotels in a very expensive city.
