Budget hotel

Budget friendly hotel. Rooms are very small. You can't have the closet open and the door. Bathroom is small. Bed was comfortable. Very noisy area, use good earplugs. If on higher floors, windows will need to be open or you will start sweating.

This is an older hotel. Some things are not maintained very well, but still function. The staff was GREAT!! Friendly, knowledgeable, accommodating. Margene at the front desk, checked us in. She was very fun and delightful. The housekeeper was also very friendly and pleasant, (I did not get her name). I would stay here again.

3 Night Stay

Myself and my partner stayed here whilst sightseeing for 3 nights. The hotel is secure, and requires a room key for access and the staff were very lovely and accommodating. There are lots of homeless people situated directly outside and in the surrounding area. We arrived late on the first night and were put in a room high up on the front of the hotel. The room was extremely noisy from traffic and homeless people shouting outside for hours so we asked if we could be moved. Ayo who was on the front desk couldn’t have been more helpful and he showed us numerous rooms which were available and even let us go to the rooms to see which one was the least noisy. This was very much appreciated and we were able to move rooms with no issue. The hotel is old and could do with being renovated however it was fine for a few nights and had everything we needed.

Charming older hotel in downtown SF

It's an older hotel so it does have it's charms. However the old ventilation and such does detract from the comfort.

Central location, proximity to various places of interest, convenient access to public transportation. The property is old, but everything seems to work. The little fridge in the room was too loud, I had to unplug it. The staff were great: friendly, competent, and helpful. Wi-Fi got slow to the point of being virtually off at night but was great during the day. Overall good if not excellent.

Great Staff but the room left much to desire

There were dirty black hand prints on the walls in the bathroom. The chain lock was broken. The desk chair arm rest was broken and the seat vinyl was just about all gone. The staff was excellent, very friendly and personable.
