The location was amazing. The rooms are tiny, but we knew what to expect. There doesnt appear to be any source of heating in the room. No vents. They offered a space heater but i opted for another blanket. The sink only emitted a dribble of water. The staff however was super friendly and helpful.

The staff were fantastic. The property is older with loud plumbing and thin walls. Bath wouldn't plug and the showerakes a clunky sound when you use the cold water. The bed was like sleeping on a table with pancakes for pillows. Staff did get me a normal pillow.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Staff was courteous and helpful. The room is small but that is expected and it was more than enough for having a place to rest, wash up, keep my things while exploring SF. They also have a back room that's locked to store luggage and even a rental bike I had. There's a diner attached with a discount for hotel guests with pretty decent options. Everything was clean and well kept. I would return in future trips to SF.

Front desk staff is very nice and friendly. There is an odd smell in the hallways of the hotel, but wasn’t as noticeable in the room itself. There isn’t air conditioning in the room, but wasn’t a problem for me in May. A basic hotel without any frills, but a good deal for San Fran.
