At 10:00pm as we landed in SF after a long day of travel, o got a call from the property stating" Your reservation is canceled, because there aren't any rooms available." I am sorry, isn't it the point of a pre paid reservation? I tell you I will be there on a certain day and you have a room available? Especially when i pay for the room up front. I my many years of travel, domestically and internationally i never had this happen. TRAVELLERS BEWARE!

The property is relatively cheap, and you get what you pay for. I booked the "inspiration" room, which was supposed to have a whiteboard. Instead, it had something that looked like a blackboard, but with literal black paper - so I did not risk writing on it (and there was no chalk). I also was unable to sit on the desk chair because it was broken - not sure why they keep it in the room.

The room was very nice. Especially for the price. Walkable. Some very nice restaurants within walking distance. Only thing I didn’t realize was that the showers only had soap bars and no shampoo. But other than that great.

Not family friendly or clean

Did not feel safe staying here with my toddler. Hotel does not look like the pictures online. Room was dirty. Very loud location. Can hear cars driving constantly. Hotel is run down. Lamp shad was dirty. Floors were dirty. Table was dirty. Shower looked dirty. Very disappointed. We ended up leaving and not staying the night. We went to another hotel. We asked for a refund but we were told there’s no refunds even though we weren’t in the room for more than 5 minutes. There are plenty of better hotels in the surrounding area. Don’t go here.
