Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The service was poor, and facilities differed from advertise. The room had multiple broken items such as the shower lever, desk leg, tilted/stained chair. Bathroom door did not close, room entrance door was missing the strike plate and did not seem to close properly. A roach was found in the kitchenette counter, closet was dirty, room window did not block any sound. The loud noises from the street could be heard in the room and bathroom. No personal in the front desk, when calling no one answered and had to wait until they decided to return the call. Would not classify as hotel, since it felt more like a dingy motel or hostel. We slept the first night and left early next morning, we could not stay there anymore, did not feel safe. The only elevator was broken and looked ancient, like the hunchback of Notre Dame had to pull it up. The area around the hotel was full of homeless people and felt very unsafe, which fit the ambiance in the hotel. The only reason to stay there is to not sleep outdoors.

Good place for independent young travelers

Traveled here for a week in April with my girlfriend. Awesome place, would stay again. This is no-frills, hostel style housing. You're getting what you pay for, and they are not going to hold your hand or pamper you. However, the property is in a good location with plenty of locks, so we felt safe. The room was clean and comfortable. There is no customer service on site, so you have to call a number to request things like extra towels, and they won't clean your room every day. But most of the negative reviews on here are a little dramatic. It's a cheap place, yes, but I felt like I got my moneys worth and had a good stay with them. Customer service rep was always polite and honest, never rude. This place is great for younger people who want to save money and are okay looking out for themselves. 3.5/5.

Their was nothing unique about this hotel, it was in an unsafe place next to a loud street, when I called to get more supplies like pillows and toilet paper no one answered and the customer service person that would answer was always really rude. You walk into hotel and their is no one their to check you in or help you. We walked into the room and it smelt like fire the bed was horrible there were Nats as well it was overall not a good hotel

Place is disgusting. The apartment is dirty with unclean carpets. The staircase had puke all over it and not cleaned up for days. When I went into the room I was assigned someone was asleep in it and clearly drunk or on drugs. I complained to management and they kept using cookie cutter language vs offering real solutions. Finally contacted Expedia and got a different room upstairs. There's no wifi. Complained and ignored. They stopped responding to me after I checked into the room because they refused to give me a refund. Will never come back and won't recommend anyone going there.

The location was amazing and parking was really easy once we figured out the parking laws. I would recommend fixing the shower so that it doesnt leak on the floor and toilet when showering. Also, if you arent going to rehang the towel hooks, toilet paper holder etc. that have been ripped off of the wall then at least fill in the holes and paint. It makes it feel really trashy. I would say that this was less like a hotel and more of a private room at a hostel considering the condition of the room.

Shockingly bad

We arrived at 5pm for our 4pm check-in using the door codes provided. Not a single staff member in sight. No sheets on our bed, mattress torn open, hinges and deadbolt on door broken off. After futile attempts to contact someone, we were finally promised the room within 30 minutes. At 7pm, we were finally transferred to a different room. Throughout the stay, there were multiple incidents of people screaming in the hallways, dogs barking and scratching at doors (directly beneath us), constant cigarette smell coming from other rooms, and a stench of urine in the staircase. The elevator was inoperable most of the time because people would forget to “close its door,” per the instructions. We can understand a certain level of this being a “historic boutique hotel” but it honestly felt like a some sort of halfway home. The pictures online are VERY misleading.

As far as hotels near the tenderloin go, this place was awesome. Definitely could use some work and maintenance overall, but it was perfect for what we needed. The private code for hotel and room entry is nice. No staff on site as far as I could tell, which is nice for private and convenient check in. Amazing location, right off of the bus stop and close to a ton of shopping and restaurants. Overall, it was a bit musty but clean and the location was amazing.

Not a typical hotel stay

You kinda get what you pay for in this SF stay, but the listing is kind of misleading. This is not a “normal hotel”. On the outside of the building they advertise rooms for rent nightly, weekly, monthly. There isn’t really a front desk. There appears to be a desk area through the doors under the stairs. We were sent a front door code and room door code to left ourselves in. We were only given two towels and two wash cloths. This became an issue when we discovered that the shower overflows and leaks all over the bathroom floor. The shower has a large crack at the door that lets water out; the door doesn’t stay shut; the drain doesn’t drain as quick as the flow comes out, so we could only keep the water on in minute-long increments to not completely overflow the bathroom. The smoke detector was missing from the holder in the ceiling. The mattress was kinda old and springy, but comfortable enough. Pillows were nice. Overall seemed clean.
