"The hotel space was small but what you expect from a city hotel. We stayed there for 3 nights, and had a great experience. The staffs were friendly and helpful. Don't forget to request to rent record player and/or type writer. There's a pool table next to the bar that we used one evening. We did not feel unsafe walking around the hotel, and there are plenty of places to go. For Simpson's fan, there's a bar next door called "Mo's Tavern"... Get the "Flaming Mo's" drink :)"

"Nice location in the city. Plenty of restaurants and cable cars walkable. Short uber ride to everything else. Great stay"

"The hotel, location and everything about it was great! We will be back next time we are in SF! I slept like a baby while I was there!"

"I had a lovely stay at the hotel Emblem last week. Location is central, 10-15 minute walk to Market street and MOMA. Hotel has a bar, coffee/bakery and there is a diner a couple of doors down. The reception staff was pleasant, helpful and attentive much better than some of the large chain hotel staff. A special shout out to Cora who was very considerate. The system was down at check in so Cora accompanied me to my room to let me settle in instead of waiting around in the lobby. My King room on the 6th floor was smallish but well furnished, clean and quiet. Would definitely stay here again!"

"What stood out for me was the staff. Everyone excelled at being extremely helpful. One of the lamps wasn't working, and it was fixed (or replaced) by the time we returned to our room. We received daily housekeeping service, which seems like a little thing, but many hotels have stopped offering it, and I've come not to rely on in most places. Coming into a clean room with fresh towels always put a smile on my face. At check-in we were offered an upgraded room, and at my request one that faced the street (to avoid side wall views). The room was larger than expected; I appreciate a room that has a sitting area and a desk (which I used every day). Every detail of the room was thoughtfully curated, from the fascinating wall graphics, to an extremely comfortable bed, to bedside USB charging ports, to a bulletin board over the desk, to thoughtfully placed lighting, to a beautiful and functional bathroom (with its own window), to a nice nespresso machine, complete with pods and creamer. I especially appreciated the lobby level coffee/pastry restaurant. The hotel restaurant and bar were very inviting, but our schedule didn't allow time to explore. It was definitely a plus for many guests. The hotel has a single elevator for its seven floors, but it was remarkably efficient. I rarely had to wait. Finally, I hadn't been to San Francisco since the pandemic, and I had prepared myself for a city in decline. Quite the contrary. The city felt alive and safe. Overall, this was a real find, only steps from Powell Street and Union Square."
