I arrived at this hotel following an international flight at 7pm PST ($70 USD Uber to get there). Following a 5-10min wait time to check-in (front desk personnel nowhere to be found), with another person waiting to check in behind me, I was told my room was unavailable or cancelled due to their overbooking. My own booking was arranged and paid for via Expedia over a month ago. Egregiously, the person waiting behind me was able to check in, no issue whatsoever. I was told Expedia was responsible in notifying me earlier that day of their abrupt cancellation, not themselves; and I was to be moved to a similar hotel 10 minutes away that required another Uber. They confirmed they had not tried to contact me directly. Though the other hotels Google rating was similar, both hotels showed to have a ton of dissatisfied comments and negative reviews. I asked to be refunded on the spot and decline their suggested accommodation. Nope, responsibility for a refund is through Expedia, not the hotel. As the hotel could provide another hotel in the city and the booking was done through Expedia, I would not be refunded. This hotel was a terrible guest experience, all in all. They made no attempt to remediate - no transportation to the next hotel, no vouchers, zero! The other hotel confirmed that at 5pm that day, they had been sent request to accommodate me as a guest! I recommend people allocate their money elsewhere. Read the fine print, and book directly with reputable hotels.

Needs an upgrade. One of two elevators out of service. Ice machines unavailable… one single staff person for all the guests at the lobby definitely insufficient.

Would stay here again
Nice spacious room and to our surpirise it had a jacuzzi tub! The front desk service was very good and we were given an early checkin and late check out. The Dirty Habit restaurant service was good in the mornings but the continental breakfast (free w/ voucher) could use an update. Each day they offered the same two croissants, fruit and muffin with juice or coffee. The room was great overall with the bed comfort being fair. I would stay her again. The location is great too, just 2 blocks from Union Square.

I had a short stay here while attending a conference at the Moscone Center (Zelos is incredibly convenient to both that and Union Square) and had a great experience. My king bed room was spacious, comfortable, clean, and the bathroom was well-stocked and clean as well. Check in and out were both super easy, and the in-house restaurant was really nice too. (The included continental breakfast is delicious - fresh-cooked pastries were the highlight!) I would definitely return to this hotel if attending any other events in that part of town.

Really liked this hotel but strongly encourage them to reconsider the scent they use in the front lobby. Our first two days were perfect, no scent one way or the other so to me that was great as it just seemed clean, not old, just clean. Day 3 the scent was so strong, out of the blue, that our group of 6 would rush to elevator and try not to breath in. The scent would even get trapped in the elevator with you. Please reconsider and be more scent aware or at the very least change to something milder. I don’t know how your front desk staff can tolerate it honestly. It would give an instant headache.
