....Could be more lovely
The location of this hotel is fine, a few blocks to Union Square a bit further to China town and not far from the cable car and bus lines. We saw most major attactions and utilized bus, cable car and taxis. Our room was adequate, it was close to the elevator and I thought it would be very noisy, but it was not and we slept through the night. Complaints...The bed had a "sink hole" in the middle. The ceiling fan squeaked and looked like it would spin right out of the ceiling and the WiFi did not work anywhere but in the lobby or mezzanine level of the hotel. Breakfast was...adequate. It bothered me a LOT that they just don't get another waffle iron. The one used has a can of Pam next to it, but every single person I watched had to pry their waffle out of the maker in pieces! If they were using their fingers, the staff would hand customers a knife to assist in prying out the waffles...get another one! Having an airport shuttle would be very nice, the $50 cab ride to and from the airport was not so great. We really enjoyed the PineCrest cafe for lunch and breakfast...YUM! We tried to eat at Max's which appeared awesome from the outside, but service was slow and servers took a long time to acknowldege us so we left and found the PineCrest...which was packed but had immediate super service with super food!

Adequate for our needs
Our experience was fine. The location was good for our needs. The room was very small...very little room to put things. No desk. There was a fair amount of night time noise on the street.

It was a fun hotel to stay at....Older building but all the modern needs. It was a great location, close to all the shopping in Union Sq. as we walked everywhere! Only downside it was a bit of a treck form the airport.

Nice stay
The room was small, but charming. Nice hardwood floors, pretty view, and comfortable bed. Only 10-15 channels, but we did have great free wi-fi. There was a nice music theme, without being overstated or "touristy." We had a delicious complimentary breakfast with fresh bagels and belgian waffles, cereal, and coffee. The hotel was close to good shopping and eateries, and a 20 minute drive from the airpot. We will probably stay here again on our next trip to San Fran!

Fino's Italian Restaurant was delicious and had mid-priced dishes that didn't bust our budget. Try the pancetta and fungi pasta, with a delicious vodka marinara sauce.

Hotel California Review
We vacationed in San Francisco for a week and decided on this hotel. It was clean, in a nice location, and the staff were friendly enough. The rooms are somewhat small, but that is really the only complaint I have. For the price, the Hotel California did the job.

Small boutique hotel but it was
Small boutique hotel but it was exactly what we were looking for. It was in a fairly good location....close walking distance to Union Square. Staff were helpful with travel advice for around the city which we took advantage of.
