About Powell Place
Powell Place is a hotel located in a great spot in San Francisco, close to popular areas like Chinatown and Union Square, making it easy to explore the city on foot. Many guests praise the friendly staff who are helpful and attentive. The rooms are spacious, clean, and comfortable, offering a cozy vintage feel. However, some reviews mention that the rooms and bathrooms are old and small, with occasional issues like a strange smell or loud street noise due to old windows. The hotel does not have air conditioning, which might make it warm in the summer. The hotel lobby had a smell at times, possibly from plumbing issues, but it was resolved before guests left. Some guests experienced inconveniences such as moving luggage up stairs or waiting for their valet service. The location is highly valued, especially for the ease of using public transit, like the cable cars, with some recommending getting a day pass. Overall, Powell Place offers a charming stay with a prime location, friendly service, and well-maintained premises, making it a good choice for those wanting to experience San Francisco like a local.
It is on a slope... Unless you take the cable car, will be challenging to climb up and down daily. Location is good as you hit union square down the hill.

Well located hotel. Rooms in need of a makeover but generally comfortable and have everything you may need as a short term visitor. Untidy entrance, especially office does not give a great first impression and the gentleman on the front desk was particularly unhelpful and unfriendly when we arrived.
