The staff were very friendly and helpful, wanting to make sure our stay was good. The room and facilities were very clean. Just noisy since it’s downtown but they provide a fan, white noise machine and ear plugs to help with that.

Misleading
The staff here are fantastic; they genuinely try their best to help and make you feel comfortable. However, the rooms are quite small, and the lack of air conditioning made the heat unbearable. The fan provided was incredibly loud—honestly, the loudest I’ve ever heard—yet it was still better than the noise outside the hotel that went on until 4 AM. We dealt with loud music, shouting, and police sirens throughout the night. Unfortunately, the mattress was so uncomfortable that my husband opted to sleep on the floor instead. While the sheets were clean, they had a strong smell of bleach, which was off-putting. Additionally, the pictures showcasing a nice restaurant and bar are quite misleading, as those amenities are no longer available. It felt a bit deceiving.

The staff were friendly and accommodating and the check in was fast and convenient. The only issue I had with our stay was the lack of restaurant and bar on site. The weather was unseasonably warm and our room was hot. I understand this is out of anyone's control, and I will confirm that the hotel made it very clear that they did not have air conditioning prior to my booking. There was a fan in the room and the window opened easily.

No parking lot
One complain in the hotel description is that it says they have parking but don't actually. I feel the area where hotel locates is not safe, so I won't choose it again if they have no parking.

This hotel was better than I anticipated to be in all honesty. The awful part about it was that they didn't have central air. Each room had a fan, but the fans even on the max setting still wasn't as potent as I would have liked. And the fan was positioned about 3 feet from the end of the bed from me.

The property is very conveniently located near Union Square, with the metro and BART line nearby. There are lots of food options around. The staff were very friendly and helpful. There was no air conditioning but we used the fan that was provided and appreciated the ear plugs for a central urban location. Beds were very comfortable but our biggest issue was the lack of water pressure. Good value.

In a good location for transport links,also for walking into town or to the waterfront via Market Street. It is not in maybe the bestarea in town and can be noisy but none of it would put me of staying here. Helpful staff and a complimentary if limited breakfast is a plus.
