I had some mixed experiences during my stay at The Barnes. While the staff were incredibly polite and welcoming, I found issues with my accommodation that detracted from my overall enjoyment. It was frustrating to deal with a lack of sunlight and issues with the bathroom door, yet the location was fantastic, being right in the heart of Union Square.

My stay at The Barnes San Francisco had its ups and downs. While the location is perfect for exploring the city and the staff were friendly and accommodating.

The hotel looks like it was stylishly updated, but it still felt old. I was disappointed to find no microwave in my room, and the coffee amenities were limited. While the decor was modern, the lack of basic facilities detracted from the overall experience.
