PLEASE DON'T BOOK OR STAY HERE. READ GOOGLE REVIEWS. (It's in the middle of the WORST part of San Francisco, where it's dangerous to even walk up to the front doors. The front doors are behind a locked cage. There's no parking, so you'll need to find an overpriced garage and try to safely navigate there on your own.) Hours after booking I tried calling to cancel for an emergency. Kept getting error messages saying the line was disconnected. Orbitz couldn't get through on the phone either. They said they'd send an email to see if they'd waive the no refund policy for this specific room. I called again days later and reached a man named R***Y. He was incredibly unhelpful and argumentative. He said they had no record of Orbitz contacting them via phone or email, and with nothing from Orbitz, they can't refund. He said that the GM would have the final say on a refund, but refused to give me a name, contact information, or a better time to call back. They've officially refused to refund. I'm afraid to write this review because this place still has my credit card information, but it's worth it to let others know to stay far away.

It’s great that the property front door requires that you get buzzed in because the surrounding area is plagued with vagabonds. The bed was hard, old, and it felt like I slept on a wood plank. The room got extremely cold and the bed sheets were untrustworthy. The bedding needs to be replaced. Perhaps the bedsheets were clean but they looked like they could have been soiled a few times throughout their long life at the hotel. Perhaps they were bought used to match the old dingy vibe of the hotel. Please get new bedsheets. Seriously.

It's never a good sign when multiple hotel staff tell you, unprompted, that it's unsafe around the area. No A/C, no heat, no amenities in the room and the topper, a random $250 "fee" which you have to contact your credit card company to get back. It was loud with motorcycles, sirens and music playing making it hard to sleep. Multiple homeless in the area with tents and you can't get into the hotel unless someone unlocks the gate. Spend a little extra and stay in a nicer area. Expedia should remove this property from it's offerings. The lower cost per night is lost with the extra $250 fee. Stay away, stay far away

This hotel was amazingly quiet and the hosts are very attentive. It has been years since my last visit to San Francisco and the homeless population is completely out of hand with half a dozen per block in this part of town. Only a few are clearly mentally ill, but it certainly gives a solitary female traveler pause. The hotel is secure with a locked front gate, but the city really needs a better plan.

The staff at the Layne were very friendly and helpful at all times. It is positioned close to Union Square so you can access many of the tourist features without problem. It is also close to theatres and some great restaurants. One tip - request a room at the back of the property as Jones Street can be very noisy.

The furniture and room were very old even though its $90 some dollars per night. Diffenetly not recommended. But the Staff and Front people were very very nice.
