DK Eyewitness "This pleasant hotel has with rooms painted in rich colors and the walls embellished with the works of local artists."
Star Service "This is San Francisco's hip-pocket version of New York's Algonquin, an unpretentious outpost with a literary lilt and lots of authentic Bohemian patina." Full review
Gayot "Literati, take note. Modeled after New York's famous Algonquin, this salon-style hotel from Joie de Vivre gets its inspiration from literary salons of the 1920s and '30s."
BlackBook "Based on literary salons of mid-20th century and modeled after New York’s Algonquin, complete with jazz artists in the lobby lounge every Friday evening."
Zagat3.8
"Taking a page from 1920s literary salons, this "charmingly" vintage Downtown boutique is known for "lovely", "eccentric" touches."
Lonely Planet "Despite their compact size, rooms feel inviting for their sunny colors, hand-painted lampshades and works by local artists." Full review
