Good but flawed

I've got complicated feelings. I frequently visit SF and stayed here as opposed to my normal hotel largely because this hotel was about $20 cheaper than my normal hotel; this was perhaps a mistake. First of all, it's nice enough. It's clean, the beds are clean, the rooms are nice, that's a major positive about it. That aside, I had a couple problems. 1) As described in the listing, there is no A/C. While A/C is generally not needed due to SF's temperate climate, hotels are large buildings and they're not always well-ventilated. I expected no A/C and anticipated a fan and windows that open. The fan, unexpectedly, wasn't a ceiling fan - it was a tower fan, on the floor, and didn't do much to cool the bed overnight. I tried opening the window but couldn't get it to stay open; because my stay was only for one night, I didn't call the front desk, so the window problems could easily have been user error on my part. :) 2) I don't love the area around the hotel. The vast majority of the Union Square area is safe, despite all of the rantings in the news these days, but this hotel was just a little bit too close to a couple blocks seemingly managed by absentee landlords so, unlike the rest of the Union Square area, there was more of a permanent & unusually aggressive homeless presence within a block or so of the hotel. SF is far safer than the news implies but I was quite surprised at how aggressive some of them were on a Saturday afternoon immediately after Labor Day weekend.

Pros: - Hotel decor is cute, particularly in the lobby. - Staff are friendly and helpful. - very close to the Powell cable car turnaround and the Powell BART station. Cons: - There were so many homless people outside that my kids felt unsafe to walk in the evening. - no air conditioning in the rooms! The fan they provided is not enough. If you open the window, it’s noisy because of tge homeless people outside. - There’s this certain smell along the corridor that I cannot describe. I seems musty due to lack of proper ventilation

This is a very nice hotel considering the price. The hotel is very clean, and the restaurant/bar is great. The staff are warm and friendly. But there was a lot of noise and yelling at all hours of the night, and our room was very warm without the heater on so we had to leave the window open. Overall, a good experience. I would stay here again, I’d just bring some noise-canceling headphones.

Nice hotel, bad area

I thought reviews would be exaggerating the sketchiness of the area but it is unfortunetly one of the lesser parts of San Francisco. What was most upsetting is when I see "parking available" I expect it to be on property. However, I had to park in a third part lot on the over side of the street for $50. They should not advertise parking if it is not their or reliable. Additionally "breakfast" was some yogurt, muffins, and coffee. The room did look nice and was clean. Could have used a mini fridge or microwave. And I am not sure how I felt that the door was a passcode instead of a usual hotel door key. Not the worse stay but lot to take into account to determine if this is the place for you/worth it.

The front desk staff were nice (all of them). The room was a little dark. The area is close to public transport and easy to travel but a lot of homeless in that area and near the hotel. You will walk pass them when you go back and forth to the hotel. I am a solo male traveller. Of course, they wont do anything to you, but you still feel something. I know its nothing to do with the hotel. But it is something that San Francisco needs to look at.
