Good stay

My room was clean, clean sheets and pillow cases, shower was clean with good water pressure. Check in was quick, location was great, small grocery store was across street. I was so tired from my day’s activities that I slept all night.

The area around the hotel is a little bit sketchy with high poverty and scenery that I would rather not encounter however, I still felt really safe and the urban playground right around the corner made it worthwhile as my kids really enjoyed it

Extremely clean room

Rooms were extremely clean with modern bedding. Any essentials we needed were promptly handed out to us. I love the fact that you have to have a room key to use the street level elevator. No one that's not staying can get in at all. I wish the room had a microwave and a coffee maker. We had to leave leftovers to be thrown away with no way to heat them up. At least there is a fridge. NOT the hotel's fault but this is just a very dirty part of town. Lots of homeless walking the streets. Surprising since it's within walking distance from Union Square with it's high end shops and motels. I still felt safe walking as they don't bother you. This is a city problem, not the motel! The underground garage and hallways are well lit. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Great room for the price.

The bed was comfortable and the room was spacious. There was a refrigerator, but it was on the floor. The showerhead gave a great spray and the water was nice and warm. The bathroom exhaust looked nice but didnt work. I parked in the lower level parking, but the key card would not work. I hadcto walk back up the way that i had driven down. The parking area smelled like sewer.

Contrary to online images this hotel is directly in the middle of the city and as such is prone to all the downfalls of said location. The parking lot is not secured in any way and while we were there at least 4 cars were broken into including one of our party's. They smashed in the windows and rummaged through the cars. Police said it is a high crime area. Although the neighborhood is run down and the outside smells of urine and waste the facilities themselves are clean and spacious. Our room was fine but due to the incident we decided to go to another hotel. The management was exceptional and understanding as they felt bad that we had been broken into. They refunded our room fee without question and were very accomodating. It was unfortunate that the area is so bad because the staff is terrific and I'm assuming the company policies support them.

Tender loin district

I've never been to the "tender loin area" as somebody referred it to. It has lots of action going on on the street in front of the office. I walked to the store across the street to grab something to eat and drink, and a couple of sketchy people were out there. Looked like they were up to no good. When I checked out at 7am the next day, some man walked into the parking garage looked at me in my car, then as I pulled out he tried walking up to my car door, but it was locked. Thank God!! Unless you're used to that type of lifestyle, I would not recommend this area.. I will not be returning, sorry

Honestly, its a nice place for what you pay. You are not in the cleanest of neighborhoods, but the hotel itself is clean and the staff there are friendly. We were within walking distance of wherever we needed to go, and having an underground parking lot was extraordinarily handy. The biggest problem we had, however, was with the actual booking process. I booked a listing from hotels.com for a room with 2 king beds, and when we arrived we were told they were actually sold out of that room and placed us in a much smaller one, packed with a rollaway bed. When I asked about some refund or discount, I was told I had to
