Beautiful place, but no kitchen to cook in, and the bathrooms are ensuite which makes it a bit loud in the room when others are using it. Staff was nice and I LOVE that there was free parking!

The only Ron I didn’t give 5 stars was because 1 of the beds in a coed 6 room was terrible and 1 pillow in a coed 4 room was bad plus the air conditioner was broken. Fortunately it’s rare you would need a AC in San Francisco. Otherwise it’s 5 star especially the staff - very friendly courteous and knowledgeable.

Refused service & double booked the room
The hotel is not a hotel but a hostel, with equally hostile staff. They would not accommodate our family, and even refused service when we got there after travelling 3hrs. This is illegal as we prepaid the room. I had to get the police involved and it was very distressing. The manager Meyila, hid when we got there, fraudulent practices all around. In my opinion, they have breached hotels.com contracts by refusing service from a prepaid room, refusing refund, double booking our ADA room and falsely advertising, not to mention discriminating against us.

Free parking is not guaranteed
I had a mixed experience. The biggest drawback was the misleading advertisement about free parking. While the hostel does offer free parking, it’s on a first-come, first-served basis, and they don't have enough spots for everyone. One evening, I couldn't find a spot and was told that "free parking" doesn't mean unlimited parking, forcing me to find street parking. This was disappointing, especially since I booked the hostel specifically for the advertised free parking. I saw multiple other cars struggling to find parking that same evening. Another major issue was the Wi-Fi. It was incredibly slow, making it nearly impossible to get any work done. I eventually had to find a coworking space. The water pressure in the showers was some of the weakest I've experienced, too. On a positive note, the room itself was fine. For a hostel, it was comfortable and had all the basic amenities I expected. Overall, while the location and basic room comfort were good, the issues with parking, Wi-Fi, and water pressure would make me hesitant to stay here again.
