Great hotel at a great price right in the heart of the city. Ross, Target, Traderjoes and the bart all just a short walk away. Perfect for people on an extended stay. The beef stew at The king of Thai noodle restaurant is outstanding.

This property does not offer luggage storage, a pretty standard amenity. Yes, there are third party places that store luggage, bit that is a pretty tall ask of guests when they are already checking in at a separate hotel

There is no place to unload your belongings and no place to park on site. Parking rates are exorbitant and had to go to a different hotel to check in.

Poop in the showers

Someone kept crapping in the communal showers and it always reeked. The rooms were enough to stay in with one sink. Felt pretty secure, access to the room required the room key us to go through two doors, and elevator. The desk person across the street, who gave us our room, was way more accomodating than the desk person in the actual hotel. The hotel apparently doesnt have working staff or specifically the desk person until after 3pm on certain days. Other guests were also confused, looking for the desk person.

Came out for all star weekend. This hotel out you in the heart of Union square, and walking distance to about everything including china town. Great little hotel. It's old a rustic but has a great vibe. The food downstairs in the bar is absolutely amazing along with on of the best brewer beer I've had. This hotel does it all for a person on a budget.

I liked how it was close to BART like a 4-5 min walking distance. Along with how inexpensive it was, about $65-70 night within a package deal. Hotel was very minimalist, which is what I wanted, the card security added an extra layer of security since you couldn't get in unless you had a room key.

You can hear doors banging shut all hours. Television broken- never fixed. Offered to move me at 9pm (4hours after Id complained). Were pretty responsive via text. Elevator down when trying to check out- on the 7th floor. They did send someone to help with luggage. Location was convenient to lots of food and shopping. Reasonable price and was clean.

Can't open the window and sleep.....

The room does not have AC, and opening the window at night isn't a great option due to the noise from outside. Two pubs stay open until 3am, attracting lively crowds, while garbage and recycling trucks make their rounds every night. Expect to hear loud lifting machinery and the clinking of broken glass from the recycling process, making the area quite noisy after dark.

We were never notified that the check in desk was at the Stratford Hotel, down the street, around the corner, and up a hill. Having to drag luggage to the check in desk, wait in a long line for one person to check in two hotels, then drag luggage back to Bartley was terrible. Don’t stay here if you’re looking for convenient check in or acceptable service
