Staff was super friendly and helpful. Building and rooms could use some work. Clean but somewhat dated. Comfortable beds, hot water, everything worked. A little noisy as all doors open to a courtyard. Breakfast was very basic-mostly pre packaged food items.

Good stay at San Francisco

Hôtel bien situé dans San Francisco et facile pour visiter à pied, à vélo ou autres. Attention très petit parking (12 à 14 places) avec la règle 1er arrivé - 1er servi. Plusieurs parkings à côté à 32$ les 24h. Hôtel correct avec chambre modeste et pas très grande mais avec bon confort malgré tout. Petit-déjeuner pas terrible avec peu de choix (gaufres, céréales, yaourt, mais que du beurre ou sirop érable pour les gaufres) : peu vraiment mieux faire pour le tarif. Au final nous avons quand même bien profité de SF et avons été prendre qqs petits-déjeuners à l’extérieur (ihop) pour une meilleure qualité.

This hotel listed free parking, which was true. It didn't indicate that there were only 8-10 spots available and it is first come first serve. I had to park in a paid parking garage down a block. It would have been nice to know that. The area around the hotel seemed fairly safe but there was a homeless person digging through the garbage at the end of the parking area.

Good location, small rooms

Good location. Small rooms, especially for the two doubles. Doable for a family of 4 for a few nights, but we were on top of each other and out of space. Parking is not guaranteed, and there's only like 7 spots.

Best bang for buck

I had my expectations low but this place for the location and price was great, would stay again. Had a microwave and fridge. Main con is the limited parking but it is free.

The room was clean and nice and bed was comfortable. Bathroom was clean and towels were good. That's the most important thing to me. Outside of the rooms was kind of dirty and there are the brightest lights I've ever seen that shine in your windows all night and make you think it's day time. The curtains don't block those lights. In fact, our curtain hangers were broken on one end. We also didn't have a stopper in our sink which affects things and I requested to have it fixed but it wasn't done while we were there. Light in shower/toilet room is exceptionally dim. Good area of SF for walking to things but not the greatest block. Front desk people were very nice and helpful. Need more space for breakfast. Always packed. Overall for the price I guess we got what we paid for.

I loved the breakfast, and the area felt safe. The room was super clean. However, parking wasn’t always available at night, and it was a bit noisy due to street sounds during the night.

We love the place, room is spacious and maintained it clean. Also it is not right next the street, so you can’t hear the cars. The place is near a lot of good restaurants like Home plate. Although during our stay, we heard screaming and yelling from outside our room in the middle of the night. But will definitely will come back.

Worst stay ever. Fire/smoke damage.

This was the worst hotel stay i’ve had in my life. There some kind of smoke or fire damage in the room which made it difficult to breathe and impossible to sleep the stench was so bad. It wasn’t from smoking. It was clearly the burnt wood smell of a fire. When I checked out they denied there was any damage and refused to refund the rest of my stay. They say they have free parking but only if you’re one of the lucky 8 or 10 guests to fit in their tiny lot under the hotel. The street noise was also pretty bad - I had to keep the window open or I would have suffocated. Open garbage cans literally blocking my room door. Hotels.com should not list this place.
open garbage cans blocking the entryway to my room.
open garbage cans in front of room
“free parking”
is first come first serve because they have less than 10 available spots for a 30 room hotel.

No parking space

Low category, smelly room motel, sponsored by best Western. They have limited parking, but limited to their staff.I got there at night, after driving for hours, and I was lucky to find a parking spot on the street 6 blocks away! Not worth the money they charge. Not recommended at all!!!

The staff during check in and check out were so incredibly friendly and kind. We were in the area for a medical family emergency and they made things a lot easier. The free onsite parking is nice but VERY limited. The room was very small compared to others we were in during the week but clean and modern and one of the more comfortable beds. Pillows were a little flat for my liking. Overall property was quiet and well lit. We would stay again. The breakfast was also nice. Waffles, coffee, juices, fruits, yogurts, cereal and to-go pastries.
