It seems that they are trying to be a boutique property but in the end it is 'lipstick on a pig'. Anywhere else this hotel would be a curious, and nice experience.
Walking from public transportation you'll deal with homeless, drunks, addicts-stepping over them on the sidewalk, being confronted on the sidewalk in jibberish, etc. I get it. One block West is Van Ness and it is a clean, orderly world. In the morning approached by people wanting money or cigarretes. In the lobby during breakfast service people come in off the streets for coffee and pastry with guy behind the desk not even raising his head up.
Really....A pleasant and clean hotel. My room was pleasant, if tiny. But wouldn't stay here again.
