I chose to give this hotel a good rating because it delivered exactly what was advertised at a decent rate in a location that we convenient to what I wanted to do in SF. That said, there are a few things I wish I had taken into account before choosing it that have to do with me more than the property itself. For starters, this is probably not the top pick for someone with mobility issues or who has trouble with stairs. If there is an elevator in the building it was evidently not operating during my stay, and accessing the front desk and guest rooms involved several flights of pretty steep stairs with baggage -- so just be prepared. Second, the hotel staff is very nice and helpful, but there is no one on-site overnight. For me this became an issue when an alarm went off in the hallway outside my room about 5 a.m. When I called the after-hours number, they advised me to ignore it and so the alarm kept going til the morning crew arrived. Finally, future guests should note there is not really a common area, so people staying in the shared hostel rooms tend to use the hallways for personal phone calls etc. and the noise does carry. These are not criticisms, just a heads-up for people who may be a tad more comfortable in a more traditional American-style hotel set-up. This is not that, but it is an interesting, quirky and comfortable place at a good price near interesting attractions, music venues, etc. and not too far from Union Square.

I'm embarrassed to just now be riding a review for this fantastic place. I've stayed here a great number of times. The front desk office staff are so friendly and yet professional. I'm from hospitality and retail experience, so I know very well customer service. This staff have a natural ability for this customer service. I've seen several times in person them handling numerous situations at one time. They give the term multitasking a new definition. The housekeeping staff are not only friendly and you're always smiling, but are so thorough and maintaining impeccable cleanliness. They're fresh fruit coffee and tea are always a comfort treat. That huge photos of the Bay area music legends are so cool. I grew up with most of these bands, and always enjoy your trip down memory lane when viewing these. I'm so excited for the new addition downstairs to open. I can't say enough about these friendly professional cool hip folks. Oh one more thing. The music that plays over the speakers is so cool. I have Shazam so much of this music over time that I have a fat library of new material to listen to. Whenever The pointer sisters OR Sylvester plays, watch out baby cuz I'm going to be dancing.
