I checked in for my two night stay but didn’t stay even 15 minutes. It was sketchy from the jump; stunk and felt dated and dirty. That was just the lobby. After I rode the scary elevator to my floor, got out and walked down a dark hallway where I heard screaming/chaos from not one but two rooms I entered my room, that somehow smelled WORSE than the lobby - ripped dirty carpet, no covers on the outlets, filthy chair, bed with just a sheet on it, a mirror so filthy I could barely see my reflection. It was super late, I was exhausted and tired and stood and contemplated whether or not I could just suck it up for the night, when a final yell from the room next door answered for me “ABSOLUTELY F$&KING NOT.” I had booked two nights and although I’m waiting to hear back whether or not hotels.com will refund me at least for 1; I honestly don’t care either way. There was no way I’d stay there even at a loss

Yes, it's on the edge of the Tenderloin, and some people might feel unsafe at night. Yes, the carpet and fixtures are very dated. On the other hand, the room was large, the bed was comfortable, the elevator was in working order, the staff were friendly, and I had no complaints. Cheap and worth it.

The hotel lobby was nice, and the worker was nice when we arrived. He was very helpful in assisting us with parking. However, the hotel itself is very outdated and gross. We had trouble working the TV because the remote wouldn't change the channels. The shower was very gross, and there was a large pile of hair on the shower wall left by a previous guest. Then, the bathroom door could not keep others out. You could lock the door, but it was not attached very well, so anyone could push it open. The closet door could not be shut. The walls are very thin, and we arrived late, so we felt we had to tiptoe into our own room.

We recently stayed at the Embassy Hotel in San Francisco and it was one of the best customer service experiences that we ever had. Every staff member—from the front desk to housekeeping—was genuinely kind, patient, and helpful. You can tell they take pride in treating guests well. The facilities were clean and well-maintained, and our room was comfortable and quiet. For the value and the level of service we received, this hotel exceeded our expectations. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting San Francisco!!

Parking was a $30 surcharge, and finding it was difficult given the number of one way only streets in the area. Shower had no water pressure and almost zero heat. Had a mount on shower wall for body gel & shampoo but neither were present. Had an empty toilet paper hangar too. No free breakfast. Walls thin.
