This was the worst hotel. There's mold all over the ceilings, bathroom tiles are falling off, and the blankets definitely haven't been washed. We could not stay at the hotel and left early.

Room is more outdated- smell is musty and we had to open the windows to air out the room, bathroom is dirty, shower didn’t have cold water only hot water. TV and TV remote was not working right, only powered on and off. Room keys kept repeatedly not working and kept asking staff at the front desk to reactivate it to unlock the door to the room. Staff was nice and friendly however and helped promptly.

There seems to be an issue with the plumbing. When I was using the tub, I turned on the hot water first, then when I turn on the cold, the water started coming out brown. Just note to check plumbing at some point. Might have been my room, but best to look into it.

Location was convenient for our stay and rate seemed fair for the old condition of the hotel. The walls were very thin, there was no active ventilation in the restroom so it got a bit stuffy, and the shower water pressure was very high.

The evening staff is really wonderful. His name is Bill and he’s just a really genuine nice guy. The day staff seems nice too. I just didn’t interact with them quite as much – I stayed there when I didn’t have power for four days. I would say the only downside is if you have a car it’s probably not a great place to park your car at night but if you don’t have a car, it’s pretty perfect in terms of location and it’s really cute; the rooms look like they spent a lot on maintaining the character of the building rather than just demolishing it all and starting from scratch. The bathrooms are so cool— they’re not anything fancy in terms of like special lighting or showerhead or anything, but what’s cool is that they kept the original tiling and it is beyond charming. One thing to take note of though is that they do not have microwaves or refrigerators, but I was able to stay there for $75 a night and that is a SF bargain if I’ve ever heard one!

It's old but I love it here. Nice big rooms, the windows actually open and it feels good to be there. The neighborhood is sketchy but it's where all the hotels in San Francisco are...so I'd rather pay less and be able to park my car for the time I'm there.

It was a clean and cute hotel with friendly and very helpful Staff. My room was warm (the radiator heater worked really well). Parking was safe with gate and have the attendant. Surrounds area (1 block away) a lot of homeless, but the hotel itself is clean.

This place is a complete disaster. It’s outdated and doesn’t offer room service. Parking is $30 per night, which is reasonable and secure. However, the rooms are smelly and lack air conditioning or heating. The bathrooms are downright disgusting. Despite these issues, the location is great, so if you’re only looking for a place to sleep, it might be worth it.
