Old, battered rooms with gross carpet. loud AC, right by the ice / vending machines and a few yards above Columbus Ave. Impossible to sleep between the street noise and the noise in the hall. The place hasn't been ipdated in decades. Preling wallpaper, mismatched bulbs -- a total dive.

We made a last minute family trip to the ward for New Year’s and couldn’t have been happier with our stay. The front desk staff were wonderful—friendly, welcoming, and helpful from the moment we arrived. Parking was easy, our room was clean and comfortable, and the location felt safe and very convenient. Once the neighborhood fireworks ended, it was surprisingly quiet. We really enjoyed our stay as a family and would happily stay here again

Staff was so nice! The greeting alone every time we walked-in was hospitable. The location walking distance to North Beach, Chinatown, Fisherman’s Wharf, all within walking distance. No homeless n the streets and has a nearby Wallgreens and local bars and restaurants.

The building is vintage decor with old world elegance and our room had a view of Columbus Street which was pretty to see the city at dawn.
