We're all for budget traveling and are advocates for "you get what you pay for". This hotel's rooms are comfortable, clean and great value for money with breakfast included. However the location of this place is not for the faint of heart or those from a somewhat sheltered existence. Although not a far walk to either Market, Union Square or... More

As many things in life, you get what you pay for. This hotel is extremely cheap, so for the low-budget traveler is OK. HOWEVER, the floor is squeaky, the smell is funny, the bed linings and towels have sometimes weird stains and the neighborhood looks a bit dangerous (though the location is relatively good). Decide for yourself, and have a... More

We booked this hotel as a last minute 2 night stay in San Francisco, on arrival we were told we had to pay an additional fee for using valet parking before our check in time, meaning we paid for 3 nights parking instead of 2. We then waited 30 minutes for the valet guy to show up and take the... More

My experience was horrible. I had fully paid for the hotel through Travelocity. When I arrived, the hotel refused to take my debit card for incidentals, and asked for a "real" credit card, or $100 cash. There was a printed paper sign posted at the desk, but there is no inference to this policy given on their website. I don't... More

This place is the worst hotel I have ever stayed at. Hotel claims that there is parking nearby, but when I arrive, the only parking is their valet service for $30. Even street parking is nearly non-existant because of metering and street-cleaning rules. When I complained, management told me that "parking nearby" referred to their valet service. The room had...

We were looking for a centric location during our stay in San Francisco and this was the perfect place. There are many hotels in the downtown area but they are a bit costly and father away than San Francisco Symphony. After reading some of the reviews we went in with low expectations but we were pleasantly surprised. Room was nice,... More

I must admit I was a little bit worried about staying at this hotel after reading some of the previous reviews. However, I'm glad I took my chances and booked it anyway! The location was perfect for seeing the sights of San Francisco, the staff was friendly and the room was clean. It also seems that it had been remodeled... More

Our room was very clean and a good size. Recently remodeled. The front desk lady was very nice and so helpful on guiding us where to go and assisting on the traveling options. Good location, SF Opera very close by. My husband and I would definitely stay here again very convenient in multiple ways.
