My stay at Hotel Spero was a mix of highs and lows. The central location near Union Square made it easy to explore the city, but I was often uncomfortable due to the noise from outside and the presence of homeless individuals nearby. While the rooms were generally clean and had their unique decor, I found them a bit small for the price. The staff's service was hit or miss, which affected my overall experience. ☕🏙️

The room I initially loved turned out to be smaller after I had to move due to maintenance issues. Cleanliness was good, but the old windows let in too much noise and cold air at night.

I found the staff to be unfriendly and unhelpful for the most part. Only the receptionist at checkout provided a warm interaction, while others seemed uninterested in assisting.

The hotel's central location is convenient for access to Union Square, but the close proximity to the Tenderloin area made me feel uneasy at times due to the extreme poverty and noise.

I wasn't impressed with the restaurant's atmosphere or smell; it deterred me from dining there more than once. Thankfully, there was free coffee available each morning.

I had a great time at Hotel Spero overall, but I did encounter some issues. The staff were friendly and always ready to help, and my room was clean and well-decorated. However, I found the pillows too hard for my liking, which made sleeping a bit uncomfortable. The hotel's location was fantastic for exploring San Francisco, with easy access to Union Square and public transport.

My stay at Hotel Spero was a mixed bag. The location is super convenient, right near Union Square, making it easy to explore the city. I also found the beds really comfy, which helped, but there were some major hiccups with the amenities in my room. Issues with hot water and a clogged toilet put a damper on things, unfortunately.

While I appreciated the cleanliness and comfort of my room, I was disappointed by the bathroom's setup, which felt really cramped. Plus, dealing with the hot water that kept going cold during my showers was a real pain.

The hotel's central location was perfect for getting around and accessing public transport, but I can't ignore the significant presence of homeless individuals nearby, which made me feel a bit uneasy at times.

I liked that there was free coffee in the lobby every morning, but the $29.99 amenity charge for stuff I didn't use felt unnecessary. I mean, at least offer some of that in the room, right?

The hotel had some nice eco-friendly touches and a gym, which I appreciated, but I wished the amenities offered were more in line with what I needed without extra charges.

I had a mostly pleasant stay at Hotel Spero. The decor was chic and inviting, and I loved the personal touch of choosing aromatherapy scents for my room. However, I found the beds a bit too firm for my liking, which took away from the overall comfort. Additionally, the hotel is located in an area that felt a bit uneasy at times, which is something to consider while exploring San Francisco.
