Good centrally located hotel 2 blocks from transit and street cars. No frills (microwave, fridge in room)but clean and comfortable and couldn't beat the price!

It was ok until the last day. My room flooded because of person above me. They did not switch my room. Water dropped from ceiling in bathroom all night. The lady at front desk was quite helpful and friendly.
The hotel is very nice for the amount paid. It was clean, the staff was helpful, and everything worked. So completely recommend the hotel if you want a budget option near Union Square. That said, you should know that Union square has become a dirty part of town. I saw feces all over the streets and lots of stores have closed.

Great spot for a solo traveler spending a few nights in the city. Great location with a lot within walking distance
It’s a quiet little place as I booked a small single room. Only thing I would recommend for the property is that they should provide Atleast water bottles in the room.
The location is superb and you can walk to many of the attractions. The staffs are incredibly helpful and friendly. While the room is a bit small, it is comfortable and quiet. I enjoyed my stay and had very restful sleep during my two nights stay in the hotel.
There were bugs in the bathroom, the power plugs were not all working, there was no heater/air conditioning, and no waste basket to throw garbage. Overall disappointing
The place is in a very good location and the owners of hotel are very helpful, peacefull. Let us in the bigger room just because it was empty that day, didint charge of it. Proposed to keep bags so much time as you need before check-in and after check-out! It was also for free. Cheked-in 1 hour before the time. Very polite and gentle people.

Lovely, helpful staff who went out of their way to ensure I had a good stay on my one night layover in San Francisco. My room was lovely and quiet and the only issue I had was that it was very cold as no one had placed the room heater in the room. But otherwise all was great and the staff kindly stored my bag for the day before I returned to the airport. Thank you!

JPM limits options
I decided to prioritize being walking distance to my meetings over a nice hotel and it was JPM week so everything was crazy expensive. However, I’ve stayed in similar older smaller hotels off Union Square before and this was worse for similar priced options. Floor covered in dust bunnies, radiator heat didn’t work first 36 hrs, bed very uncomfortable.
I have to give props to team though - 24/7 locked & manned door and most staff quite friendly and helpful. Elevator was functional.

As-expected and good budget option
Room was as-expected. Just the basics with no frills, but looked like the photos and everything in the room was clean. The hallways and stairwells are definitely outdated and have a unique smell, but for a low-cost room in this area, it was sufficient. The staff are incredibly friendly and supportive.
