Recent Larkspur Union Square Review: "The Larkspur Hotel on Sutter St. in San Francisco is a great deal. However, do not reserve a room at this hotel if you have delusions of grandeur. This is a "green" hotel, meaning you aren't going to get an in-room massage or a refrigerator or even a microwave. However, on that note - this hotel actually takes the "green" concept seriously. Ever stay  in a hotel that has those "to save our planet's natural resources, if you leave your towel hanging we won't change it" cards only to have the housekeeper change your hanging towel anyway, thus defeating the idea of a "green" hotelr This hotel actually leaves your towel alone - hooray! In fact, the Larkspur hotel goes one step further. If you decline housekeeping two nights in a row, you'll get a card worth money towards Starbucks or the bar/restaurant at the hotel (Bar 1915). Speaking of saving money - this hotel also offers FREE wireless internet. Most of the hotels in this area charge you a connection fee. This hotel is also located IN THE CITY, so don't expect to have 100% quiet. If you want that in a hotel in this area, book a room at a hotel that has at least 30 floors and request a room on the top floor. That will almost keep out the sounds of the city. San Francisco's China Town and Financial districts are bustling with life, so if you are coming to San Francisco for the very first time, this might not be the hotel for you. HOWEVER, if you have been to San Fran before and you actually TRULY love the city, then this is a GREAT deal. The beds are ridiculously comfy - they have soft featherbeds - and my room was extremely clean. The closet was HUGE and I'm not exaggerating. You could literally do jumping jacks in the closet! There was a three-drawer chest in the closet and on top of the chest of drawers was a set of books and magazines all about the city and places to go/things to do. There are blackout shades and they are extremely effective. The bathroom is small, but why have a huge bathroom if you only use it to"
