A good option for a relatively affordable stay in San Francisco, in a great location for walkable shops, bars, and restaurants, and to access the transport network. Reasonably quiet in the room considering the location. Let down a bit by poor cleaning in the bathroom, and lack of air conditioning.

+ Clean room, restroom and bath ( shared). Good facilities. Near a cable car so it's perfect to start your visit. Wallgreen the next door. - Staff forgot the baby bed even after we ask by mail and phone call, we arrived at 1 am and nobody was able to provide a baby bed. Many junkies and homeless in the neighborhood, it could be stressfull but we didn't have any problem.

Someone was really loud on the floor above. No noise dampening between floors. No air conditioning. The power plug was falling out of the wall. The toilet was functional, but didn't stop flushing unless you pulled the handle up. Pretty good value for the price.

It was easy to check-in at the other hotel, it was just a short walk away. There is a separate key to get in the building. The room was clean and spacious. We chose the deluxe room with private bathroom, mini fridge, and kettle. Everything worked including the TV, lights, and fan. I felt we could have used a microwave and a small chest of drawers as well. The desk was a nice area and we utilized all the counter space. I didn't mind that there wasn't a daily housekeeping service.. we took the trash out ourselves and were okay towel wise. There is no AC, but it was still comfortable with the ceiling fan and a window cracked open. Our floor was very quiet- I could hardly tell if any one else was staying there. Overall the area was very convenient. Tons of shops and restaurants. Easy public transportation access.

It was an interesting location to stay at. Checking in and out was just up the hill, and when we got in the key to open the main door didn't work. Thankfully one of the employees was coming in at the same time as us, so he changed our key for us. The history of this building is pretty cool, the lobby is pretty cool, it definitely dated but personally I love that. Our room was spacious, and was very clean when we got there. The bathroom had cute hexagon tiles. We also meet one long time resident there, and he was very friendly. I think it's worth checking out if you are a budget and plan to spend your time exploring the city.

Great location and nice quality for the price! The checkin being at another hotel is a bit confusing but they were very helpful when our key wasn’t working. I would definitely recommend and will most likely stay here again when we come for Giants game.
