Toilet paper holder was broken . There was a broom left in the room. No AC in rooms. When I called they said they could provide a fan when i got there. I asked they said they would check dtorage they informed me they had none. Room was hot so we had to leave windows open. By us doing this we did not get much slerp because we could now hear all the noise outside. Towels were big but worn put 1 of them tore on us. Hotel was old which i LOVED i just thought of the history in it.

This is a very complcated one to write. I'll start with the fact that the staff were amazing. Everyone I dealt with here was kind and helpful. And the place was... clean. And had some very nice old wood furniture. But... it's old. It's crumbling. Lots of cracked surfaces, lots of worn and stained upholstery. The bed sheets may well have been made of sandpaper, and you can hear EVERY. STEP. TAKEN. on the floor above. We had booked a wheelchair accessible room, and while, yes, there is an elevator that got us to the floor, and we could navigate the chair to the room... that was the end of it. Once in the room, you couldn't get the chair to the bed. Thankfully my spouse can walk that far, but not all people can. The window didn't lock. (4th floor, but still.) The door to the fire escape on the 4th floor was not capable of closing, let alone locking. The door didn't fit in the frame. The radiator in our room was... uncontrollable. We turned it off (it was unseasonably warm in SF for Nov) but it turned itself back on, even though the dial was closed. The room became sweltering. Eventually the hotel management just turned the radiator system off to deal with it. At one point we considered switching rooms, but the room they showed us on the first floor also had a window that wouldn't lock. Not doing that on the first floor. No way. The neighborhood is fine. I mean, if you're a swaddled suburban who can't handle walking past an unhoused person, you might not like it. But it'

The hotel seems to be a swing between owners. I ended up 2 rooms as the first one was not secure between adjoining units. Both seemed to have rough patching and be partially clean. Electrical outlets were not covered, lights had exposed wires, holes in walls either recently patch are still waiting, stains on floors and cloth in the rooms, different sized tvs, and limited air flow.

The staff is really kind but this hotel is super sketchy, old, and run down. The power outlets looked burnt. The lamp had no place to plug into and the key card needed to be reset every 4 hours and sometimes sooner. Super false advertising compared to the pictures!
