The Bad: Smelly, Carpeted room with who knows what in it, Smelly. The Good: Cheap, Daily cleaning service, Good transportation around it, Private Bath, Free WiFi. Private bath at this price is rare in SanFrancisco ! Would go again because of Good/Bad ratio.

This hotel was by far the worst experience of any to date. The room had this unwarming feel about it that I as an adult could not get comfortable too.Not to mention my children who cried the night away because the were scared. Very old place that reminds you of a haunted house. Very bad odor as you enter the... More

The pictures shown in the website, does not have anything to do with the reality of the hotel, it is worn out, the rooms are nasty, bad smelling and the beds are in bad conditions. I would not recommend for anybody, even more for families. I asked the manager on duty to refund my money since I was not satisfied... More

While the rooms are small and dated, the queen-size bed was comfortable and the room appeared very clean. There was a 32" color tv, a small desk and chair, hair dryer, iron and board, a small alarm clock, and a wall heater that worked well. Although I was on the 3rd floor overlooking a busy street (all the rooms appear... More

We stayed here on 11/10/12 and it was the most horrible experience of my life. We arrived around midnight, there is no parking at the hotel. We parked about a block away ($20 per day), and huffed it to the hotel. On our way past the strip clubs, some of the homeless people started yelling at us. We got into... More

Stayed there the weekend of a football game, baseball championship game, and Nike marathon, so pickings were slim. We saw that this place had a AAA rating so figured it would be OK.We were wrong. The bedspread was cigarette burned, the toilet door had to be slammed to shut (not pleasant late at night); the hair dryer did not work;... More

This place is a very nice place considering the cheaper price. If your looking for a decent place to stay without breaking your bank, this is your place. It is centrally located to walking distance of union square and Fishermans Wharf (30 min walk down Van Ness). It's right next door to Mel's Diner which I believe is 24 hrs... More

I feel where you stay affects your experience of a city. Based on that, do not stay here. Loud street noises, weird smells, spotty wifi, supposed remodel, boarded up buildings, panhandlers. It is tempting to stay with the low prices, do yourself a favor and do not stay here.
