Acceptable but Disappointing

central locationsmall roombuggy controls
The hotel has a good, central location.
The room was far too small. I had trouble sleeping due to street noise. Thin windows did not help. The electronic controls were buggy. The tablet barely worked.

The staff was very friendly and helpful! The hotel and rooms were also super clean. The free wi-fi was very fast. I loved the cozy feel of the lobby. There was so much space to lounge around.
The bed was placed right next to the window. This made it difficult to move comfortably around it. The sink was located in the room instead of in the bathroom. This was quite impractical. The rooms were rather small. The stay felt a bit cramped.

The breakfast options were diverse. I saw fruit salads, pastries, and sandwiches available. The location is central! It is close to the Powell station for BART. A bodyguard is always present at the entrance. I appreciated that feeling of security.
The sink was in the room and not in the bathroom. This was a little impractical.
