I would comeback and recommend
It was really nice, good service, great staff, good location, good activities and I really enjoyed staying there, the only thing that I would like them to improve is breakfast, some variation would be well appreciated… as a solo traveler I felt great, safe and coming back after a long day walking was great by knowing I had a comfortable bed to rest!

Great spot in the heart of downtown San Francisco! Plenty to do around the area. Nothing five star here, but clean and comfortable at a great price. We chose a private queen room with an en suite bathroom. Pictures accurately describe the room. No heat or AC with the older building unfortunately, but they do provide a small desk fan should you need it. Great water pressure with an eco-friendly, LED shower head to monitor your consumption. Free continental breakfast in the communal kitchen, nothing fancy, but good to have so you can grab a snack before stepping out to explore. Overall great stay!
