I had the most fabulous time at this hotel. I stayed a few days out of the city and wish I had stayed in the city here the entire time. The staff was friendly. The hotel had a sweet charm and felt like home. The back patio is hidden, quiet and you don't even feel like you are in the city. I would stay here over and over.

Expect that this place is a bit older, with the charm of an old-fashioned elevator - substantial feeling - and a swinging 60s type decor. Our room was lovely and comfortable. The staff were very nice and helpful. I appreciated the included breakfast, which just started our days of exploration off really well. We could walk or take transit to the things we wanted to see, and one of the cable cars was close enough to be an option for transit.

The inn itself was fine. The elevator is old & tricky. The street noise starts around 5:00 AM and makes it difficult to sleep.

The art and vibe is cool, but the hotel is older so carpet and windows etc could use an upgrade. There was no AC so in August it was very hot in my 3rd floor room, and even though the outdoor temp cooled down, the outside air didn’t cool the room down to a temperature suitable for sleeping; even with a fan. There was also a lot of street noise outside my room since there’s a bar right across the street. It was fine for a short business trip to SF but probabaly wouldn’t stay there again.

Interesting Older Building In A Good Location
The White Sean is in an interesting older building where it’s probably smarter to use the stairs than the century-old elevator.

Great location
Clean, comfortable,and very charming room. While the room wasn’t spacious it wasn’t cramped at all. There were also a lot of books in the room that I thought was a very nice touch. I only stayed one night so I didn’t have time to read one but would have loved sitting by the fire reading a book if I did. All the staff members were very friendly and helpful. Room isn’t particularly soundproof but that is to be expected with an older building, area is quiet so it wasn’t a huge deal. Very convenient for Grace Cathedral, 5 minute walk if that. Unless there is a back entrance I didn’t see it isn’t wheelchair accessible, but I’m sure that’s true for a lot of the buildings in SF. If I come back for another concert at the cathedral I will definitely stay here again. Also plenty of dining options very close.

Great European Style Hotel in the ❤️ of SF

One of my most favorite rooms I've ever stayed in. It felt like home esp with the little fireplace. Really conveniently walkable. Only thing I would change is the motion sensor in the bathroom light switch, it doesn't stay on very long and you have to keep waiving at it. That is a small detail though, I was generally very happy with this stay.

the staff were really nice, especially in the bar. The location is good, close to Union Square and Chinatown, and there are not many up or downhill to get there. the building itself is really old and also the ammities were really old and I think they need improvement or better to be replaced with new ones.
