It's a good location. Clean and very easy to access the city center and everything. The street next to it is a bit dangerous, but the street the hotel is on is fine. Very good for the affordable prices!

Disappointing Hotel Stay: A Firsthand Account When Expectations Collide with Reality From the moment my husband, our friend, and I stepped into the hotel, our anticipation turned to concern. Though the front desk staff were truly exceptional—courteous, attentive, and a genuine highlight of our stay—unfortunately, that is where the positive aspects ended. A strong, unpleasant smell of smoke greeted us in the lobby and lingered throughout the building. When we entered our assigned room, we were met with further disappointment: the bed covers appeared to be repurposed curtains, some marked by visible make-up stains. The carpet underfoot was sticky and unclean, while the curtains were tattered with holes. The furniture seemed to have been untouched since the 1930s, adding to an overwhelming sense of neglect. Hoping for an improvement, I requested a different room, only to find that each alternative offered was in a worse condition than the last. The parking lot itself was no reprieve, as it was tainted by the smell of urine. The environment was so distressing that we could not bear to stay for even an hour without feeling physically ill. When I expressed my concerns to the front desk, I was told that Hilton had recently purchased the property and renovations were on the horizon. Yet I was left to wonder: why keep a hotel open when its current state falls so far below any reasonable standard? Despite the severity of our situation, the hotel offered no compensation.

Good hotel for a low price

It’s a classic old hotel. Some upgrades but not 21st century. If you’re looking for modern crisp environment this isn’t it. If you want to indulge in a classic well kept up hotel this would be it. Unfortunately the hotel will not be a hotel much longer. It was sold and according to web news converted into low income housing. Will see.

The pictures were very deceiving. It was a rundown hotel that was probably at its peak in the Glided Age in 1889. When the few restaurants near by close at 3 PM you know it's not safe. Stay away stay safe.

Old but doable!

This is an old hotel, so the rooms are very old, but doable. Expect the floor to creek, the carpet to look old, the shower having old scraped floor. BUT, it is still doable. The price is too high for what it is though! Location is somewhat good. A block or two north, you'll see a fre homeless, but it is a peaceful area. Parking costs $30 a night. But you can go in n out several times.

Not a very nice hotel at all. The outlets barely worked, the TV didn't work. The staff at the front desk was usually missing or taking personal calls. I asked them to not go into my room while I was out and when I came back, maintenance staff was in my room without my permission. I don't recommend it. It's more like a hostel than a hotel.

The place was shabby and in really bad condition, and it smelled absolutely terrible! It was located in a really bad neighborhood and did not feel safe at all! We tried to get help with parking, but there was no help to be found. The hotel is cheap, but that’s also the only positive thing to say.

This hotel is a block away from city hall, civic center plaza and other gorgeous buildings. We were within walking distance to bus stops, Bart stations and other local transit. We did not want to be in heart of tourist area and this was perfect. We loved that we could walk to local restaurants, cafes & bakeries, because of the proximity to government buildings, many places close by 8pm. As long as you are aware of that, its a good place to stay. I think people forget that San Fran is an old city with old buildings (thats the charm). I like that those buildings are repurposed, (hotels, shops, restaurants) and are not completely gutted to make them look brand new (if you want something new, gray and boring, stay somewhere else). I like that the hotel bathroom had the old tiles, small elevator and people were friendly and helpful.This hotel is cute, roomy and simple, we slept & kept our stuff there. There is no A/C, but you dont need it (visited in August from AZ) we kept the window open and at 3am it was really cold.

The hotel was old, my mattress had a very large burn hole in it, the bathroom was dirty, and a lot of the fixtures and doors didn't close right. We didn't feel terribly safe but we are from Alaska and can hold our own. You get what your pay for and the location was nice for walking and right in the heart of the city. The price matched what we stayed in I guess.
