It was an interesting location to stay at. Checking in and out was just up the hill, and when we got in the key to open the main door didn't work. Thankfully one of the employees was coming in at the same time as us, so he changed our key for us. The history of this building is pretty cool, the lobby is pretty cool, it definitely dated but personally I love that. Our room was spacious, and was very clean when we got there. The bathroom had cute hexagon tiles. We also meet one long time resident there, and he was very friendly. I think it's worth checking out if you are a budget and plan to spend your time exploring the city.

Great location and nice quality for the price! The checkin being at another hotel is a bit confusing but they were very helpful when our key wasn’t working. I would definitely recommend and will most likely stay here again when we come for Giants game.

Location was great, room actually exceeded my expectation with the cleanliness. Staff were accommodating with our late check in and check out. Unfortunately our main room light didn’t work and on our last day the key pad battery died which was inconvenient but wasn’t a big fuss. Overall had a great stay and would recommend if you’re looking for an affordable stay while in SF!

No frills. Or much of anything else, really
First off we show up and find out the hotel doesn't have any concierge or anything in our building and we have to walk a block over to a different hotel to check in. This was not just because we checked in late, but because that's just how they do it. Didn't have a fridge, which is fine because it didn't say it did, but I can't remember the last time I was at a place without one. No hand towels in the bathroom and barely any place to hand the towels anyway. The toilet kept getting stuck draining and the shower drain backed up. No fitted sheet on the bed, just a pad with two straps on one side. None of the sheets can be tucked in fully either. When we got there there was almost no toilet paper left. The TV picture quality was pretty mediocre. The staff was nice and generally helpful though. It's fine, but you get what you pay for (or don't pay for)

Location, location, location It is a “bed for one night hotel” with basic comfort and not expensive. Shared bathroom and restrooms us OK. Clearness is OK. But you will hear all your neighbours around teo floors and the street. Do not recommend if you have a troubles with sleep. It is good for the short staying in a good location.
