Powell Place

Location! Staff were helpful and the historic building, 24 hr reception

Only one key to each room

In city center, near cable car. Nice large room, sweet people.

Nothing

Worse place we ever stopped. The lady on reception was so rude and had no manners

Location. Lady reveoptionist No lift

Enjoyed the location of it, right near the streetcar stop. It also has good walking access to the usual tourist spots like Chinatown and Union Square is right down the hill (a very steep one though so be prepared). Plus, I did not notice it in the booking but the room was well equipped for longer stay. It had a big fridge, microwave and stove IIRC? Handy for longer stays. Plus, the staff were quite nice and friendly. After my long flight, I was happy to know they can accommodate an early check in for me.

The place is on the older/dated side and it shows on the appliance and the room. There was also the key surrender thing, just not used to it but they give a key with a hefty key holder to ensure it gets surrendered every time I got out. Definitely not something I was used (key surrender) but hey, there is staff in the desk 24/7 so also not a big problem to me.

Very good room. Spacious, good kitchen with facilities (although we didn't use it), comfortable bed and the room was quiet. Good shower. Excellent location, close to bars, restaurants and shops.

Fantastic location , super clean , very helpful Reception staff ( thanks especially to Alice) , very comfortable and well equipped studio.

Only improvement would be an elevator for reaching upper floors
