Second time staying here and while the staff is polite and had no issues the room “223” smelled pretty bad and the noise coming from the hallway was unbearable. The hotel itself is old but the problem isn’t the age it’s obviously struggling with it's business. The garage is closed off on one side what appears to be permanent. The pool and upper decks are closed off from any kind of access. And the overall state of the furnishings is terrible. Lamps falling apart literally leaning over. The bathrooms have hand towels and washcloths for bathing. The TV was working but immediately displayed the remote batteries were low and needed to be replaced. The hallways are also very smelly and so so noisy. The bed had fresh linens and while the bed last night had no comforter or quilt it was ok because the temperature outside wasn’t bad.

I booked this hotel based on the photos online, but the reality was far from what was advertised. From the moment we arrived, we were deeply uncomfortable. There was what appeared some questionable activity to be polite -some ladies were dressed that left me wondering- one was wearing what appeared which might add it was cold she was wearingbathing suit. The surrounding neighborhood did not feel safe at all. We had reserved two rooms for two nights, but after seeing the conditions, we walked out and never stayed. One room had a toilet that wouldn’t stop running, and neither room had working heat or air conditioning. At check-in, the man at the front desk gave us a slip of paper to place in our car that essentially summed it to park at our own risk — not exactly reassuring. Despite not staying even one night, we were charged for the first night as a cancellation. It’s incredibly frustrating to have paid for something that was so misrepresented and felt outright unsafe. Thankfully, we were able to stay at our daughter’s apartment instead. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone — please do more than just look at pictures when booking. We learned that the hard way.

Liked: Cleanliness
I picked the hotel for its convenient location to the train station and the ferry. The hotel itself is just ok - many outlets didn't work in the room, and there was no AC, making the room a bit stuffy. Breakfast was very basic. The WiFi worked well. However, given the reasonable price, I'd stay here again.

Decent option

Very convenient, walkable location to waterfront and to Broadway, Chinatown, and many amenities. Be prepared for loud noise as trains go right in front of the hotel on Embarcadero sounding their whistles the whole time. Perfectly clean, although not necessarily in the greatest state of repair. TV did not work. Great price.
