Better than the other reviews suggested!

What the hotel could control was mostly excellent for the price point. The room was well maintained, the reception staff amazing, bed and bedding better than expected, and the bathroom was well maintained. Breakfast was very basic and somewhat ‘meh’ but better than nothing. The street outside is very noisy - some of those living there were playing loud music late at night/early in the morning. Not much the hotel can do about that but it might be off putting to some. Likewise, the homelessness in the area would be concerning to some but we did not feel unsafe - we walked with purpose and were reassured by the police/security presence in the area. It’s a shame the SF authorities have allowed the area to decline as it has and are not actively seeking to compassionately address the homelessness problem in the blocks around the Bijou.

Called during check-in about directions for off-site parking, front desk didnt even know the address to it. After finding the place, we were told it was full - parking is not guaranteed. Wifi was not working and front desk said “I could switch your rooms, but it probably won’t work anyways”. TV does not work without wifi, sheets were stained yellow and room smelled bad. Deceiving listing, when I approached front desk about these issues during checkout, they proceeded to blame expedia for the listing, I’m still waiting for their manager to contact me.

Very uncomfortable place

I wish Hotels.com included a safety rating as part of their reviews. The neighborhood around the hotel felt extremely sketchy and unsafe to walk through — very uncomfortable overall. I think I heard gunshots on the street during the night we stayed. We couldn’t get any rest and ended up leaving for the airport at 4 a.m. It’s not necessarily the hotel’s fault, but I wouldn’t have chosen it if I’d known the area was this unsafe. Definitely not recommended for families.

I checked in late due to a delayed flight. Upon arriving at the hotel, I discovered that my room was not clean or repaired as promised. It took me an hour to receive my room key and finally get to my room. To make matters worse, the night shift girls in charge of the front desk were unfriendly and unfriendly when I arrived.

This unassuming hotel on the edge of the Tenderloin was spotlessly clean and comfortable, and a very good value for a no frills budget hotel. Easy check in, a friendly staff, and a good location close to public transit means that I will stay there again.
