Gayot "Housed in a 1913 building in the heart of San Francisco's theater district, this hotel offers personal touches like free tequila shots at check-in and complimentary wine and cheese receptions."
Lonely Planet "This bay-windowed, vintage-1920s hotel has small rooms and sometimes-thin walls, but cheery yellow paint jobs, fluffy beds and double-pane windows that generally block street noise."
