Avoid rear rooms overlooking the bus depot; corner rooms are small but bright.
Afar Magazine "The rooms are smaller than a modern hotel, but remember, this hotel was built before the "bigger is better" model was in vogue. The dining room, called Currant Brasserie, is a charming place." Full review
Frommer's "This stately brick Gothic Revival building from 1929 offers stylish and modern lodging accessible to the Gaslamp, Embarcadero and Little Italy" Full review
