Interesting Older Building In A Good Location
The White Sean is in an interesting older building where it’s probably smarter to use the stairs than the century-old elevator.

Great location
Clean, comfortable,and very charming room. While the room wasn’t spacious it wasn’t cramped at all. There were also a lot of books in the room that I thought was a very nice touch. I only stayed one night so I didn’t have time to read one but would have loved sitting by the fire reading a book if I did. All the staff members were very friendly and helpful. Room isn’t particularly soundproof but that is to be expected with an older building, area is quiet so it wasn’t a huge deal. Very convenient for Grace Cathedral, 5 minute walk if that. Unless there is a back entrance I didn’t see it isn’t wheelchair accessible, but I’m sure that’s true for a lot of the buildings in SF. If I come back for another concert at the cathedral I will definitely stay here again. Also plenty of dining options very close.

Great European Style Hotel in the ❤️ of SF
Excellent location. Very cozy hotel. Great breakfast. Mattress was a little too soft. The nightly wine and cheese is a very nice touch. Close to cable car routes and transit. Highly recommended.

A Gem of a Hotel
We had to find a hotel quickly in the Union Square area of San Francisco and Hotels.com guided us to the White Swan Inn. It is a gem of a find. The staff was helpful and the room and facilities a wonderful historic gem. We'll be back.

Love this place. It is a quirky old hotel that has kept the character of the neighborhood. The free breakfast is good but is lacking protein. They have boiled eggs and yoghurt every day.

Nice boutique hotel - convenient location. Valet parking is kind of expensive. Breakfast was included - relatively ok options.
