It's a great group. The neighborhood is safe and my family will make sure you are taken care of no matter what. San Francisco is my home. It's the type of place where you walk around at 3am and people just want to help.

I am writing to share my recent experience at this establishment. While it served as a last resort for an overnight stay, I would not recommend it for a longer duration. I understand that this is a Single Occupancy Room (SOR) and sharing a toilet and bath with other tenants on the floor is part of the arrangement. However, the bath was dirty, and the noise from outside my room made it very difficult to sleep. It is in the TL Given these issues, I believe the price paid was too high.

The hotel was awesome and better than most in the area but the bathroom near my room didn't have a working shower and I accidently cut my hand trying to get the shower to work. It's nothing even worth mentioning. Security is AWESOME!
