Front desk staff is very nice and friendly. There is an odd smell in the hallways of the hotel, but wasn’t as noticeable in the room itself. There isn’t air conditioning in the room, but wasn’t a problem for me in May. A basic hotel without any frills, but a good deal for San Fran.
Great location. Room was very clean but it is an old building with old pipes. Very friendly staff with a great diner next door. Would stay again when in San Francisco.
Very friendly staff, especially lady at front desk during day shift!

The staff was friendly and polite. The hotel was basic didn’t even have air conditioning and the are was not a good area. If you want to be harassed by lots of crack heads take your chances. There is a reason the price is so low.

You get what you pay for. The room was clean and tidy, but very basic. The only big negative is that you have no control over heating and cooling in the room other than a ceiling fan. With the wide variations of climate in SF, I think this could be a problem at times. During my one-night stay, it was not.
Stayed for one night only. More expensive than other hotels nearby!

rooms don’t have heaters they give you a portable heater, which is not safe. It was no phone in the room. You have to come downstairs all away from six floor.

Great location across the street from the Curran Theater and just a couple blocks from Union Square. Friendly staff. The room was on the small side when compared to major chains, but clean and efficient. Would stay again.
