This was a great place to stay and the location was totally walkable. The only quirk is that while breakfast was good, the only hot option was oatmeal and there was no protein option except yogurt, not even peanut butter.

A charming hotel. They offer wine and cheese in the evening and groups or couples can sit together in separate alcoves or rooms. I would stay at this hotel again.

If you like historic inns this one is cozy with fireplaces in each room…The decor is French floral with a mod flair of 60s art throughout. Loved staying here! Very convenient to downtown and Union Square.

Very charming and comfortable bed. A great attention to antique details. A cool fireplace. The many street views where beautiful . The noise from the restaurant/bar across the street was a little loud for a Thursday night, but wound down after the midnight hours. I wish the staff was more outgoing and made my friend and I more welcome. There was some hostile energy from the unit below me and on the adjoining room. I believe the hotel could be more inclusive and friendly to us as I experience much prejudice as a transgender person. My friend reported back to me that the majority of people at the breakfast floor appeared to be heternormative, conservative, and not very friendly. Perhaps more education on transgenderism and the importance of respect for gender identity expression would be beneficial and appropriate.

Really great property with fantastic staff. Not luxury so don't have that expectation. But do expect that they will do everything to make your visit as comfortable as possible. Great example they were booked so got a queen bed for 3 of us and they added another small bed. Was going to ask for that but just knew we needed.

We had a lovely stay at the White Swan. The complimentary onsite tea and coffee plus continental breakfast were very nice, the common area lounge room is well-appointed, and the fireplaces in each room were a nice touch. This is an older property, but has lots of character and the staff is helpful without being too intrusive. A real value at the price we paid! We would return whenever seeing an event at the near by Masonic Auditorium, or shopping around Union Square.

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.
