The “concept” is very modern, but all sorts of ages of people choose to stay at this facility and some people are not versed in how to access the entry/ check in process— which was just plain inconvenient. Everything else as far as location and cleaning and such, was fine. You should have staff, just that simple.

It’s an older building difficulty with parking. No elevator upstairs. Could you some maintenance. But with all of that considered and in mind, the convenience to everything was difficult to beat.

The property is located in a very safe and eye appealing location. The hotel is a throwback to the 60's. The ONLY thing that has to change - the carpet. I stayed in 2 rooms, and I had several work mates with me. We all stated the same - the carpet was filthy. Bathrooms were clean, beds were very nice and the rooms are on the smaller side...but the location suited our needs.
Convenient location. Lots of Italian restaurants. Walking distance to Chinatown and the Financial District and the coast. Housekeeping is very helpful. Room is a bit small and cramped. There is no air conditioning. Walls have signs of water damage. Bathroom ceiling and walls have mold.
Great area. No staff makes it somewhat difficult. WiFi info was only at desk but with no staff you don’t go to the desk. Room was so small the bathroom door couldn’t fully open. Beware a standard queen is really a double bed size. Room was very stuffy even with fan running all day.
my opinion doesn’t really matter. you should stay in room 10, and let me know your thoughts. (i left my stay one day early)….

We were unable to get into our room that we had to wait for the housekeeper to call her boss. We tried to get a hold of the contact person, but the voicemail was full We did not get in until 430 instead of three. Our room did not have a bathroom we had to go across the hallway. Got fleabites on our feet and the room was not very clean. It was very noisy and we did not have any air-conditioning we will not be going back.
Did not receive clear instructions for check in. Arrived at hotel and was unable to gain access to the lobby. No one answered bell had room key but not the front door.
We were unable to stay overnight. Had to drive home after our night out in SF.
The hotel is super convenient and very clean. Rooms are on the smaller end, but still plenty of room. Having Washington Square Park right out the door is amazing! There is no elevator, but we knew that ahead of time. We will definitely be back!
