The hotel is a little downtrodden feeling. Needs a facelift in a serious way. Room feels sparse and uninviting with small, shabby furniture. Elevator feels like it’s going to break down. Pillows are a lumpy disgrace. Breakfast was limited.

Floors and tv remote felt extremely dirty. We couldn’t even turn on the light above the bathroom sink because the middle bulb was flickering like crazy, to the point that our eyes hurt. There were a limited number of outlets, we had to move furniture in order to plug in additional devices. There were also ants in the bathroom. The shower nozzle was also loose somehow because it sprayed water out on the side, and this flooded the bathroom right by the toilet. This heavily discouraged us from taking more showers. It also seemed like the AC would turn itself off in the middle of the night because we would wake up to a humid and warm room. On the plus side, there is plenty of parking spaces available and staff were very efficient and nice. You get what you pay for, but we definitely could have found a hotel with better conditions than this place for the price. Maybe we got unlucky with a bad room, but we highly don’t recommend staying here.

This was an amazing stay. I read reviews and was a little worried about condition of the hotel, safety and cleanliness. But it was soooo worth it. Cheap and a great place to sleep. Everything was super clean, great shower, comfy bed and breakfast was great for free. Room was cool and felt very safe. I wouldn’t go walking around the streets at night but I wouldn’t do that in most of sfo. Shuttle was super easy. I arrived at midnight so missed the shuttle service but it was $22. Morning shuttle was 80% full. Staff was helpful and nice. Not only would I stay here again for a layover but I would stay here to tour san Fran.
