The design features are awesome, it makes the hotel stand out in the sea of brown/beige hotel chains. However, just like with most stuff in San Francisco, the price doesn't always match what you expect to get for paying that much. It is not cheap, and attention to detail is not quite there. For example, our bathroom window frame had mould on it, and the hairdryer hasn't been cleaned for a while - as soon as we turned it on, it started smelling like something was burning (the fluff on the vent!). Also, their courtyard looks like a dumpster. Bearing in mind that half of the rooms face it, I don't know why they don't clean it up. We stayed at this hotel for a romantic occassion, and even though we checked in the early afternoon, we were given a room that had this awful view of the courtyard (see the picture), so I had to ask for another room that was facing the street. I wouldn't stay here again, not worth the trouble.
