Although this is an older property, it has incredible charm and captures the true spirit of San Francisco. Having stayed here since the 1980s, I’ve seen it through all its stages, and I’ve always felt completely safe and comfortable. The location is ideal—transit options and major sights are just steps away. The staff is consistently friendly, welcoming, and helpful. While it may not offer the flashy amenities of larger chain hotels, I come to experience the city rather than a hotel pool. It is fantastic value for the money and always a wonderful stay!

Room had everything I need, area may be unsafe (heard someone breaking things outside on my second night), but that's outside of the hotel's control. For the price, everything was decent.

Staff seemed very friendly. The hotel itself was pretty dated and elevator was slow and I had to use stairs to go down from the 5th floor. The room also dated and hard to find the outlets to charge my phone. I was there for one night in the end of June and I felt a bit cold in the room. Also I could hear someone screaming outside, of course it was not the hotel’s fault. I wish the city was much nicer environment. This hotel was very easy access to downtown attractions and only 30 mins bus ride to the beach too.

This is definitely well worth the money. The restrooms are a bit. Small showers are a bit small but they’re clean their neat. The staff was great.
