The rooms in this hotel are quite spacious. The breakfast was advertised as included for a certain number of people, but in reality, it's a $72 credit per room for ordering at the co-located cafe on the ground floor. If your order exceeds $72, you have to pay the difference yourself. On our first day, for 3 adults and 1 child, we ordered two burgers and two croissant sandwiches, and it already came to $114. You can imagine the rest! Parking is definitely inconvenient, and it's a bit scary with 'zombies' around the area. However, it's very close to Union Square, which is a fantastic downtown location. We didn't dare go out after dark and just ordered delivery. Overall, the room was big, and the night view was beautiful. The housekeeping staff was also excellent. The front desk offers Chinese service, which was very convenient and made it a worthwhile choice.

Overall, it was great! The location is super convenient, and you're just a short walk from the Nintendo SF store. The facilities are comprehensive, and the service was good. The downside is that it was a bit noisy at night, but I guess that's to be expected when you're on a street-facing side in downtown. Also, the free Wi-Fi required reconnecting every day, which was a bit of a hassle.

I booked this hotel for a trip with my parents. It's very close to Macy's, and there's a convenience store nearby where you can grab water and other essentials. There are also a few restaurants downstairs. The only downside is that there's a theater a block away, which can make it a bit chaotic and noisy at night, but I imagine it's not an issue on higher floors. The room itself was quite spacious, and the in-room coffee was good. My only minor complaints are that the shower curtain was too short, causing water to splash out, and the bathtub drain was very slow – I hope they can improve that. The front desk staff were all very friendly, and someone was always at the main entrance to help open the door. I recommend staying here!

A special shout-out to Trip.com for waiving the resort fee – awesome!

Clean environment, helpful staff, convenient location! I would recommend this! :)

Stayed here for two nights. Booked a king suite and ended up changing rooms twice. Finally got a decent room. Cool boutique hotel but not the best area.

Room was very well maintained and spacious. Location was convenient and staff were super friendly and had recommendations for spots to check out. Fitness studio was also great.
27.08.2025 Guest
Extremely nice modern hotel, staff were very attentive and hospitable and room was much bigger that we expected. Would stay again
22.06.2025 Maomiss
The hotel's location is very central, and the front desk staff were very polite and helpful. When we tipped the housekeeping staff, they were incredibly enthusiastic and even left a thank-you note. However, on the first day, when we forgot to leave a tip, they surprisingly didn't even replenish the bottled water.
20.06.2025 Guest
The room amenities were excellent, but some of the public facilities felt a bit dated. For instance, the hallways seemed quite dimly lit. However, the location was very convenient for getting around. Overall, it was a great stay, and I would definitely return.
14.05.2025 Guest
The hotel is quite new, well-located, and kept very clean and quiet.

This place was almost completely empty when I entered for breakfast, and that made me question my decision to eat there. I had the eggs benedict, and they were delicious though on the high-priced side. I did not like the chairs that they used at the dining tables semicolon not having a back on a stool makes it very uncomfortable.
06.01.2018 Tim
My wife and I had breakfast there. Staff were attentive and courteous. Breakfast was great. Open floor plan and natural lighting adds for a nice atmosphere. The big plus was that the music was mostly 70's top 40 and the volume was subdued.
17.12.2017 JB
The service is so BAD here. The food is alright. The drinks are decent, but the service is sad. The food is over priced for what you get, expect to wait a long time for your food to arrive once you order. I don’t recommend this place ? This place is covfefe.
15.12.2017 Jason
Comfortable setting. Decent bar. Good service. Disappointing food.
05.11.2017 Lance
We were served pretty quickly, but the food took 45 minutes to get to us. People who arrived later than us got served first too. Check out the Eggs Benedict... or rather, the sad attempt at it.

Absolutely fabulous food, atmosphere and service. Mind you, the prices may seem high, but you get what you paid for. Great for large parties since servings are family style. I had to finalize the menu in advance, but you can customize it and even chose the title on the menu for the gathering.
27.11.2017 Bryan
What a charming place.

The restaurant is off an alley, which is hard to spot. The Le Colonial neon sign points the way. Outs an unassuming entrance, but once you get inside, it's marvelous. Looks to be an old Victorian how converted into a restaurant.

The food was great too. I wasn't wowed by their spring rolls, but the Pot An Pho was absolutely incredible.
23.11.2017 Steve
Ok. Maybe my review is a little harsh. Normally I don't deduct for poor service. But they got my friends order completely wrong. As in wrong item. No offer of discounting barely an apology. We had a show to make so no chance of getting the right item. We requested another table but were told they had a reservation for the other table. It sat empty the entire time we were there.

Food would have been 4 star. Nothing spectacular. More upscale than most but flavors kind of flat.

I'd skip. Many other better choices in the area.
21.11.2017 Heidi
Came here for a team dinner with my company. Michelle made it easy to organize and order for everyone, while be conscious of dietary restrictions. The food was delicious and the drinks were strong and tasty! Be aware: they have a dress code here!
30.10.2017 Francis
Excellent location. Atmosphere definitely resembles old French colonial buildings in Saigon. Food was very good. Had the oxtail bowl. Bone marrow with mushrooms was amazing. Highly recommend for intimate evening.

Dinner was great. Came back the next day for Wednesday pork chop special and told by new manager that had to wait an hour for menu to be available. At 3.30pm At the same time she went ahead with her staff and seated a couple that came after us. When asked why they said oh sorry and too bad for you and everyone else that was waiting to spend money have to wait til 4.30. She said she was new and unable to handle the job.
Wow. Never will go to daily grill again. Spent 300 first night in town. I have never written a review but because it popped up on my phone this is the first and it had to be bad. Daily grill is scratched from my list.
27.12.2017 Angie
Came in at 11:00 am, we sat at the bar thinking faster service. We were told the kitchen is switching from breakfast to lunch, had to wait 10 minutes before they could make food. 45 minutes later we received our lunch. There was a bartender switch after our order was placed, and it was a shame, the bartender that came in had no care for his customers, stress on his face with every request. A couple came in and waited 20 minutes to even get a greeting...poor service.
28.11.2017 Vladan
Best option for good food on Union Square. We have been there for 3 times last 2 days. Breakfast and dinner. Service is good and food is delicious.
24.11.2017 Yehia
Had an amazing Thanksgiving dinner here with my wife. The place was packed but the food was still amazing and the server was very attentive and helpful. We loved it!
19.11.2017 Michelle
This place! I am VERY picky when it comes to good food. Not only was our food AMAZING but our server Peni was the BEST! We cannot wait to come back from Seattle!
