The room was very spacious and clean. The bed was comfy, the water tasted fine, the staff were friendly, and my car was safe in the garage for a week. The location is also pretty great since it's near stuff and accessible to transit, including the cable cars.

It was totally fine. Better than expected actually. You look at the pictures and think it’s going to be all rundown, but aside from some old style (not old) furniture and ghastly (but excellent condition) bedding, it was a fine place to stay and super convenient.

Stayed here and went to a show nearby. Location was super convenient, staff was friendly, and room was clean and well-maintained. Walkable to Fisherman's Wharf and other SF spots. We had a great time and good night's rest.
