Price=decent( specially if your on a budget). Location= excellent ( near the tourist spots, walgreens, burger king, basic necessities of a traveler). Staff= excellent( very friendly and helpful). The room we got doesnt have ac but if you open the window and turn off heater, it is comfortable. It has a kitchen and laundry that guests can use, but I only wish that water dispenser is more accesible after 11pm, they lock the laundry and kitchen so no water to drink after 11pm. Plus, hot water doesnt work either. Hoping they find a place to put the dispenser accessible in case guest runs out of drinking water.

I stayed here for about a week, and overall, it was a pleasant and comfortable experience. While the place has minimal amenities—no AC or fridge—it didn’t bother me much, especially since I visited during the winter. For the affordable price, it’s a good deal. However, if you’re expecting more, you might want to consider a pricier hotel. The location is decent, situated in the outer Tenderloin area (which, according to ChatGPT, is an area to avoid when visiting SF). There are quite a few homeless individuals in the alley behind the hotel, but the front side is very strategic—close to downtown and public transportation. My advice is to avoid walking around the back alley as it can be a bit uncomfortable (for me, it was very uncomfortable). That said, the hotel itself is okay, and the area in front is quite good overall.

Only 2 bath towels, no was cloths or hand towels. Room was very hot. Had to leave un screened windows open all night to cool room. TV didn't work initially but was resolved by maintenance. Rosemary of the Strafford was awesome once again. Thanks Rosemary for smiling and making me feel welcomed. -Anthony Zinn.

Location is good, right on the union suqare. Small rooms, for checking in you've to go to sister hotel Stratford. You've to pay extra for house keeping. But overall a nice experience on a budget.

Good rate for a very centrally located hotel but you do get what you pay for. Intermittent plumbing and elevator issues, no in unit fridges or really anything but bed desk and bathroom. Would stay again but probably not more than a few nights.
