Excellent location for a very reasonable price. A bare bones little hotel, but fully met our basic needs. Given the ratio of value to location, i give it an overall “excellent” rating.

Couple on short visit to sam fran
Need to make a special mention about Hansel , very knowledgeable about the area and wiling to chat , let us keep our room as we had a late flight and it was much appreciated , great location close to public transport and restaurants , room was a bit small so not much room for two large suitcases but otherwise ideal for our short trip

I liked everything about the property except for the higher temperature, but the fan was helpful! Also the people outside are not your fault.

Rooms were not nice. Cracks in walls, electric plugs don't work, dents in furniture. Homeless tent in alley behind the hotel and outside my window. Just not great.

The receptionist was very nice. The elevator tones sounded like 1960s Star Trek. The beds were soft and the pillows were firm. The shower water pressure was not very strong but sufficient. A nice place.

The best low budget accommodation I’ve stayed in sf. Nice staff, allowed late checkout, great safe location. It’s not 5 star but it feels 5-star for the price.

Clean and neat but required a few maintenance jobs, bathroom door didn’t stay closed and paint peeling off the ceiling, but bed and amenities were good. If you just need a clean room for somewhere to stay this was great.
