Property was what I expected and was perfect for what I needed
This hotel was decent for what it was... I must say that the carpet does give off a smell like it needs to be cleaned and the circulation through the hotel is minimal but other than that the staff was nice the space was decent and it was good for the 2 days I needed it for.
Nice and quiet inside, safe. Locked and watched front door. Very loud outside all night but we expected most of it, no a/c so open window hear all- try just bathroom window and get fan as close to drown out. No space no table or counter, so tight if 3 people (2a 1k). Buy cold brew for frig cause no microwave. No wash cloths - so pack em. We are not the stay in room type and out 5-7am each day and it was great for that and we would stay again
Need to make a special mention about Hansel , very knowledgeable about the area and wiling to chat , let us keep our room as we had a late flight and it was much appreciated , great location close to public transport and restaurants , room was a bit small so not much room for two large suitcases but otherwise ideal for our short trip

A short stay in San Francisco as part of a longer trip
Excellent location for a very reasonable price. A bare bones little hotel, but fully met our basic needs. Given the ratio of value to location, i give it an overall “excellent” rating.
I enjoyed my stay very much. Amazing stuff and nice quiet place. Reservation Arbin was very helpful. I m
Looking forward to come back! Highly recommended
good location is about it. the rest is pretty bad. not very clean. Smelled. Loud. Window in my room was broken, and had been replaced with plexi-glass - no sound proofing. heat was not controlled. Very warm room.
Rooms were not nice. Cracks in walls, electric plugs don't work, dents in furniture. Homeless tent in alley behind the hotel and outside my window. Just not great.
When we arrived to check in the front door was locked and no staff was at the front desk. We had to sit parked on the busy street for 15 minutes trying to call and wait for someone to come back. Once we checked in our toilet didn’t work. It never worked during our one night stay and someone came to plunge it but said it wouldn’t unclog and never came back or offered another solution. We left and had to find a toilet for our kids to use. We would not recommend this property unless your standards are very low.
