For the price, this place is 5 stars. However you need to bring the mindset that you are in the Tenderloin. Once inside the hotel, it is safe and welcoming. Staff were excellent. You are also near the 49 bus and bart station. Food options were average nearby. They do have a microwave on the mezzanine level. Contrary to the hotel listing, they do provide bed sheets. Beds were great and room condition for the price was great. WiFi is fast, about 100Mbps down and 75 up. I was able to work from this hotel with no issues.

Found out after we got there it was in Tenderloin area. Lyft drivers told us some streets to stay away from. Had i known before we would not have stayed here. Beds were terrible, hard and could feel all the coils. No air conditioning. Had to open windows part way (no screens and on 3rd floor) to get air flow. Noisy, sirens, loud music outside at night.

The worst experience of my life. I had a paid room for 6 days. A layover went bad because of spirit airlines couldn’t get a pilot. I called the hotel every 8 hours explaining I was coming however late. After the first night I couldn’t check in they labeled me as a no show took my money and booked my room. The hotel manager apologized about the mistake, however it took a week to get only half my money back. Leaving me a 62 year old man stranded in San Fransico with little money and no where to go. Sham on them !!!

Older hotel in SF. Have to pay $30/night for parki

I booked 2 rooms for my family and I to stay for 4 nights. Its an older hotel in SF near the civic center, close to attractions and public transit, makes it easy to get around town. You have to pay $30/day for parking. Parking lot is secured and my vehicle was safe. I felt safe in the neighborhood. Housekeeping have to be requested. I stayed for 4 nights. After 3rd night, I requested housekeeping and was told they are short of housekeepers for the day. The hotel couldn't have 2 rooms cleaned so we stayed the entire stay with no housekeeping

The surrounding neighborhood was much worse than we expected, even knowing that we were going to be in The Tenderloin. The “walk” to Golden Gate Park, was not walkable.
