Jose P. • April 12, 2013Awesome! Great pictures and photo ops.

Asha S. • December 5, 2010Park at the Grace Cathedral across the street, slightly cheaper and you get to be in a gorgeous building. If you've got balcony seats, good luck - the stairs are fierce. Happy Birthday Margaret Cho!

Nouk D. • October 12, 2019Glad to be checking out of here. Our room was barely even the size of a closet... And all the supposed charm of the building is killed by unfriendly staff. Never again!

Stephen W. • September 5, 2011Do it! Nice building. If ur feeling super fit, walk directly up Taylor from Fishermans Wharf to get to it! Be prepared for at Lear a nose bleed from the hill climbing exercise....

Daniel S. • August 15, 2011A beautiful building with a great upstairs area. If the concert is sold out, you can often get a dinner ticket for a little bit extra.

Alana W. • April 7, 2013Check out this open air campus. The entire building's structure that is designed to carve out picture perfect views of SF. Rivera mural is fantastic as are the current student installations.

Martin K. • August 9, 2014the oldest building (pre-earthquake) in the area. Free wine and cheese every evening. Clean gym. Don't bother about the breakfast, though.

Kian L. • March 6, 2020delightfully old, beautiful building.

Rachel • October 18, 2021Home to what seems like half the medics and dentists in San Francisco. Great views!

Ashleyanne • May 18, 2010If you're visiting between 9AM & 5PM, be sure to stop inside to check out one of the oldest intact buildings in the city. The amount of marble decor alone is worth a peek.

Clayton R. • July 13, 2018I have been coming here for 65 years. Still great. The building used to stand alone and was striking in its gaudy way. Now it is lost among encroaching buildings.

Raymond C. • January 12, 2019If you get a window facing outward on one of the four sides of the building, there's loud banging noises at 4:30am onwards each morning.

Eater • July 28, 2016Many a potential hangover has been staved off with a bowl of the Caldo Verde. Fans shouldn't wait, since the fate of the building rests in the hands of new owners (with possible development plans).

Stanislav S. • September 22, 2015Left there $250 for three persons and got stopped outside of the building by someone from their stuff begging to give more money for the tip. I don't consider that cheap or good value.
