This hotel has ruined our family vacation. For a 3 star hotel, the only amenity that we got in our room was just a small tv. There is no internet, no hair dryer, no iron, no gym, no AC and no temperature unit in our room. I was mislead by all the wonderful reviews here on Expedia. The hallway was so smelly, and our room floor was so dirty. To make matters worse, our hotel room was so dusty that my wife woke me up every night. And, the hot shower was a non-existence. Noise level is super high. The heater made loud noises. We could hear footsteps from above us and from guests next to our room. In addition, the hotel bed was so awful and uncomfortable. For the cherry on the top, the location of this hotel is also not good. It's definitely not safe to walk around, especially at night. And, the hotel manager was never on site to address your issues. I was advised to make my refund request in writing to the management after I checked out on our second day because I couldn't take it anymore. And, the management has never responded to our request.

It a was a great hotel, however with it being an old building, there was no A/C or full room ventilation, only the open windows to get air in the room.

The accommodation was very old. They didn't clean the room, nor did they change the bed linens or towels once. They also charged me $70 in error. When I contacted the hotel, they informed me that it was incorrect and that they would refund the amount. They don't respond to messages through the hoteis.com app.

This hotel is run down, dirty, and doesn't have AC. My room smelled like dust and mold and when I realized it didn't have an AC unit I opened a window. Unfortunately it is very noisy outside and there are really bright lights that make it impossible to sleep. I didn't get any sleep the first night. The room was so hot and it was October. The shower was dirty with gnats and the handles aren't fixed into the wall correctly so getting hot water is difficult and turning the water off took so much time. Pillows and bed smelled musty. Also, make note that this is in the tenderloin so walking at night solo might not feel safe.

A1 Cerca a todo, el personal lo mejor. A unos pasos hay un restaurante que para lleno, muy bueno, a la espalda hay una pizzería que tiene la mejor pizza de SFO. Regreso a SFO, regreso a Embassy Hotel.

Loved the lobby and the datedness. Chose this hotel for a slice of 1930s and it delivered. All the basic amenities were avaliable. Nothing fancy but clean and comfortable.

Pros: Friendly desk agents, easy check in, cost, water pressure and temperature, walkable Cons: Beds were not comfortable, room cards inconsistently worked, no AC, located in a rougher part of the area, not a great area for a family, attached cafe had incorrect hours, doors did not easily shut, inconsistent outlets in the room Bottom line: If you do not have children with you and are able to ride share directly from the door, it would have been a much more worth our while experience.
