Little soundproofing between floors, so kept awake by footsteps.
Rather run down, and needs refurbishment. On a noisy street, close to Union square. Ideal for shopping, but that's about all.
Room staff excellent. We were made to feel uncomfortable when my wife lit up a cigarette outside.

This is not the place to stay if you want a peaceful nights sleep! We were constantly woken up, either by really squeaky floorboards, clanking water pipes, the (really loud) sound when any neibouring room has a shower, and then finally by the maids being loud outside our door (for which they did apologise to be fair, but still!) It is very tired and in real need of an overhaul. Fine if you have low expectations but not if you like real comfort and peace & quiet.

From the moment we booked the room we were treated wonderfully. We were getting married in San Francisco and had heard great things about the PA. Our room was upgraded to a Deluxe King w/fireplace. They had champagne and chocolates waiting for us along with 2 teddy bears to keep. Every single employee treated us as royalty, or better yet as their family. Their breakfasts were wonderful and so was their afternoon wine and cheese. The hotel was so homey and comfortable it was indeed like being in a French Countryside Inn. Our room was delightful. Many, many thanks to all at the Petite Auberge .. especially, Anna, Mary, Tina, Andy, the day desk clerk whose name escapes me and manager Eric. These wonderful people and anyone else whose names I didn't get, made this a wedding and honeymoon we'll never forget. We will be back each year to spend our anniversary with you.

Finding the right hotel is always a challenge when we travel. We avoid high rise hotels...the rooms feel airless and hermetically sealed. We like the ability to open a window.
We had greatly enjoyed a small chain called the Four Sisters and, through that route, found La Petite Auberge, formerly related I believe.
La Petite Auberge turned out to be perfect, with an excellent location close to everything, very comfortable room, and a staff that was always ready to assist to make our stay the best. High rise hotels do not generally offer breakfast, another reason for our choice. Definitely a timesaver and completely enjoyable with fellow travelers. Wine and cheese in the afternoon is just the right touch after a day of running around the city.
Thanks to Petite Auberge and the friendliest, most helpful staff...we will definitely come again.
