    CONVENIENT, GREAT LOCATION BUT A NO FRILLS/NO AMENITIES HOTEL WITH TINY ROOMS
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • Superior Double Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    ROOM WAS A BIT DATED: OLDER PAINT AND FIXTURES. TEENY TINY ROOM. WE WERE A PARTY OF TWO STAYING IN A ROOM WITH TWO DOUBLE BEDS, YOU WILL STEP ON EACH OTHER MOVING ABOUT THE ROOM. VERY VERY BASIC FURNISHINGS, COFFEE MAKER DIDNT WORK BUT SO MANY GREAT PLACES RIGHT OUTSIDE, JUST WALK TO GET COFFEE.

    NO FRILLS, NO EXTRAS, JUST BEDS AND A SMALL ROOM. PARKING IS EXTRA - $25 PER NIGHT. LOCATION IS THE BEST PART, RIGHT ON MARKET AT VALENCIA, CLOSE TO DOWNTOWN, MISSION DISTRICT, CASTRO ETC. F-LINE STOP VERY CLOSE TO THE HOTEL. SMALL FRIDGE AND MICROWAVE IN THE ROOM. BRAZILIAN BBQ PLACE ACROSS THE STREET (5 STARS ON THAT RESTAURANT), MARTINI/PIANO BAR ALSO ACROSS STREET. LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION IS THE REAL DRAW OF THIS HOTEL - HOTEL FACILITIES THEMSELVES ARE JUST OK

    Riff raff hanging out everywhere. Lewd phone calls in the middle of both nights. The room was small. It didn't even have a small table to sit at. One of the rooms the shower leaked. The pillows were awful. The refrigerator didn't work in one room. The floors were sticky. The bed worked for me but too soft for other family members. One of the rooms is for 4 people but only had two towels. The room for two had one.

    Close to where we were going. Many restaurants near by.

    Neighborhood is slightly sketchy. Towels were limited and thin.

    An older motel with rooms facing onto the parking lot. Everything is a bit shabby, but it's perfectly serviceable. Good value for the money.

    The square can be somehow noisy and you can hear outside from inside the rooms.

    It is really well connected to Union Square. Overall I liked the stay. Beds were really comfortable.

    There were some predatory men next door whom insisted on leaving thier room open, talking loud and being obnoxious for most of my stay. The staff was also pretty cold, I asked for them to bring up some coffee packets and toilet paper one morning, and they couldn't be bothered. The guy at the front desk was very consumed with his title, yet forgot the customer service aspect entirely.

    The room was very spacious and comfortable, I was happy with it

    Many homeless people around. The parking lot fee is $25 not $17,5. And it is right next to the street so it is not protected at all. We booked room for 5 people and had just 2 towels. Really bad and slow WiFi connection. There was coffee/tea machine with coffee and tea bag for free to use, but when we opened the machine there was old used tea bag, so they didn’t clean it after previous guests.

    The staff of the hotel was really mean! In mobile app the parking seem like it's for free, but it wasn't.

    The hotel was exactly as I expected, nothing special, nothing really bodered me (exept the terrible mean staff).

    The blanket and the curtain had cigarette burns. The wooden furniture was old, so it had a specific smell. I don't understand, as an european why I had to give a 100 dollars deposit, showing lack of trust. At least I got the money back right away.

    The location was great, the price is really good for SF. The bathroom was quite clean, but kinda small.

    I included parking in search. That complete price including taxes with no indication there's a parking charge. I gave instructions for a call room and parking. At check in, the clerk asked if I wanted to use the same card for the $20 a night parking fee. No mention of the few at any time. Duuplicitous at best. --- My first night i hung the "do not disturb" plaque. The other three nights I hung the "maid service please" and my room was never cleaned during my stay. --- I understand it's a budget hotel and one of the most comfortable I've stayed. However, my limited budget does not allow me the luxury of "surprise charges."

    The property was great. Location was excellent. Front desk very helpful. 0When I arrived, the room was clean, bed was comfortable the heater was a bit quirky but warmed just fine. Needs to be adjusted. Plenty of hot water for showers. Overall very comfortable

    A classic basic hotel that delivers OK.

    It's not exactly the most reassuring location. Seems like it's almost under an overpass, and security precautions make you feel that it's dodgy, but it wasn't so for me. Staff were professional, and it went without a hitch.

    It's a classic motel I would say, with rooms around a car park. The room itself was fine, with welcome coffee machine. Beds and chairs were fine, as was the shower. What else do you need? Staff were happy to keep my luggage safe for eight hours, and were pleasant about it. Supermarket very close, and the fridge worked.

    Considering all the horror stories in various reviews of hotels in this area we found this all right. Great location within walking distance of the vibrant social district and lots of good food. Felt safe walking around late. Hotel actually exceeded expectations on the location. Facilities themselves old and tired but you pay your money and take your choice!
