The location was perfect. There is a Target and a park nearby. Stops for the bus, tram and trolley were close as well. Unfortunately, the hot water was not working nor was not communicated to guests in a timely manner. I called the front desk at 11pm to inquire about it and left the hotel by 7:30am the next day. A letter was distributed at later in day, but we didn't get back to the hotel until much later to find this out and were too exhausted to find other accommodations. This was night 2 of our stay. Except for this, the stay was good. The staff was very accomodating. The hotel is older; therefore, there are some cosmetic issues. However, our room was cleaned early each day. On the last day, our flight was late in the evening, and the hotel allowed us to leave our four bags until we came back before our flight. Also, we bought our hotel/flight to include breakfast through the hotel. It was a nice way to start our day with a sit down breakfast that was located at a restaurant next door. Coffee or juice was included, and we only left a tip each day. Overall, a good experience especially for the price.

Secured parking. The pictures from the hotel's website looks very different than the actual hotel. The building is old and everything inside is outdated. Needs remodeling.

As soon as I entered the room, it was clear it had not been properly cleaned—dirty linens, towels, tub, and carpets. The overall condition was unacceptable and unsanitary. I reported this immediately, but the staff was unhelpful, unfriendly, and refused to issue a refund. They offered to clean the room instead, so I gave them the opportunity while I attended an event. However, upon returning, nothing had been addressed—the room was still in the same filthy condition. At that point, I requested to cancel due to the health concerns and overall discomfort. This entire situation was incredibly inconvenient, especially while traveling with my kids. I had to scramble to find another hotel last minute, which ended up being an hour outside the city, forcing us to drive in the early morning hours past. To make matters worse, no manager was available at the time, and I was told I’d have to wait until Sunday to speak with someone regarding a refund. The lack of accountability and support made an already stressful situation even worse.

Great location, no frills

Great location - one block from the Powell Street station, both the modern station and the historical cable car line, which I highly recommend taking to Fisherman's Wharf. Our primary purpose was to go to Oracle Park. This is a no frills and older boutique hotel, but it was a comfortable place to sleep.

We stayed there for 3 nights. The room was good/ok. It wasn’t a bad stay. It was Quick trip! There’s a restaurant attached to the hotel for lunch and dinner. And another restaurant next-door for breakfast and lunch is available too. Very convenient! The only thing was the toilet, you have to flush it a few times.

Staff was so nice but can do better in cleanliness. To my surprise parking is not added to hotel reservations so had to pay extra and thankfully they had a spot open when we got there or else we would of had to go look somewhere else to park. There parking garage is open to the public so it gets full fast.
