Wonderful

Very clean room. A little outdated decor but nice and quiet. Parking was good and they allowed us to park after checkout while we were at the Alcatraz tour. Friendly staff.

Location was perfect....beds were very comfortable.
Great stay! The staff were so nice and accommodating. Received a map showing the attractions and where to avoid. Free parking! Room was clean. Great location!
The guest representative was very helpful, give me a map showing me places nearby to eat, streetcar route information how far it was to the pier, Chinatown, and places to stay away from. The location was perfect to places I wanted to visit. My room was clean and spacious and very quiet. I would recommend this place without a doubt.

Good value for the money; could use updates
Good overall value for the price. Very convenient to the heart of SF - walkable to public transit, cable cars, etc. Some elements of the room were updated (bathroom, beds) while some were quite weathered/worn (the carpet really needs replacing - was old and threadbare). The surrounding area is fine for being in the middle of a big city - keep your wits about you like you should in any major city. Don't leave anything valuable in your car, as break-ins are common in this area. We didn't have any problems with safety but it wasn't exactly the coziest place on our extended road trip.

The hotel is older. But was cleqn and fine for one night. Nice size room with large windows overlooking the street. Convenient parking. Walkable area.
We selected the hotel based on price, location, reviews and it included free parking. We rented three rooms and enjoyed our stay! The hotel was clean and staff were friendly. There was a Walgreens and restaurants nearby. It was within walking distance of the piers and Chinatown. We will definitely stay here again!
Definitely need a small car if you'll be utilizing their parking area here! Great location, convenient to most attractions in San Fran. We could've used public transportation more, but we ended up renting scooters to cruise around town which was a blast. Front desk staff was very helpful and highlighted areas on a map for us on interesting places to go, and also places to avoid! Very much appreciated. The room was clean, the outer elevator door is a pain in that you have to hold it open when hauling luggage but still glad there was an elevator available. Overall very glad we chose to stay here.
We very much enjoyed our stay. Although an older property, the room was very clean and comfortable.
We appreciated Damon (front desk clerk) looking after our luggage until we could gain access to the room. We had arrived in San Francisco on a cruise, so were in a taxi by 8am from the cruise ship terminal. Damon allowed us to leave our luggage, and when the room was ready, he called us to let us know. He had even taken the luggage up to our room for us. Excellent service! Damon kindly gave us a map of the city and marked out areas we should avoid. We did notice some dark spots on the exterior of the air conditioning units and supposed it was likely mold spots. But we enjoyed our stay and found it very convenient for the bus and only a couple of walkable blocks from the Cable Car. The price was within our budget and overall we enjoyed our stay there very much.
Very courteous and professional staff. I felt welcome when checking in. I usually spend the night when attending concerts in SF and will be reserving my rooms here in the future.
Very spacious! We were in the suite and felt like we were in an apartment, minus a stove. A little noisy as to be expected, but the fan on ac blocked all of that. Close to bus stops and places to eat.
I chose this property because on your website it said within walking distance to the current theater. It was over a mile to the theater so we had to Uber, which was a disappointment. It was near Polk Street, which is a little sketchy in San Francisco. I wouldn’t choose to stay here again for that reason.
For the price, I was pleasently surprised with how clean my room was. On site parking is a little cramped but it beats parking on the street. The gentleman at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. Tons of food option close by as well. Great stay, highly recommend.
