The property is an older building that has been nicely designed and upgraded. It has a speakeasy vibe which is warm and cozy. It was easy to get to several destinations such as The Ferry Building and there are swveral easy modes of transportation such as the trolley, ride shares and even driverless options. I stayed on an upper floor which was very quiet and i did not hear a lot of street noise. The room.was clean and the beds are extremely comfortable. I slept like a baby! My favorite part of the hotel is The Post Room, which is the bar and restaurant. The staff is absolutely lovely and attentive. The food was delicious but the cocktails were extraordinary! Highly recommend at least having a drink there even if you plan to dine elsewhere.
