The front desk staff were friendly and helpful. The room was so filthy, we didn’t even use the shower. They were stains on the sheets and unrecognizable things on the nightstand. We stayed one night and left.

Great location and value. Easy access to all modes of ground transportation, inckuding trolley. Walkable to T Mobile Park. Nice dining options very close. However, very noisy. Homeless people are common, but not prolific.

Although the location itself made this hotel very convenient, it was noisy at times. Refuge collection at 2am?? The hotel itself needs serious money spending on it to get it up to today’s standards.

Property is old, however beds were clean and bathrooms and shower was updated. In room carpets looked dirty. Staff was very welcoming and helpful navigating the neighborhood. It’s a great location to visit most sights by food. We enjoyed the location. Nice to see SF recovering post COVID. City felt much better in summer of 2025 vs last year

If you want an okay stay for a fair price at this location, it is a good choice. Don’t expect luxury, the bed was very comfortable tho. We came from Vegas and with a temperature difference of 20 degree celcius it felt very cold in the room. The staff was nice expect the young woman that work there on weekends. Was not helpful nor interested at all. All in all we recommend it when you look for a budget friendly option and not look for luxury

This hotel was decent for what it was... I must say that the carpet does give off a smell like it needs to be cleaned and the circulation through the hotel is minimal but other than that the staff was nice the space was decent and it was good for the 2 days I needed it for.

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.
