The worst experience of my life. I had a paid room for 6 days. A layover went bad because of spirit airlines couldn’t get a pilot. I called the hotel every 8 hours explaining I was coming however late. After the first night I couldn’t check in they labeled me as a no show took my money and booked my room. The hotel manager apologized about the mistake, however it took a week to get only half my money back. Leaving me a 62 year old man stranded in San Fransico with little money and no where to go. Sham on them !!!

Overall we had a great stay. The hotel is old but has charm. The area around isn’t the greatest but we weren’t there to spend a ton of time at the hotel. I would stay there again!

Older hotel in SF. Have to pay $30/night for parki

I booked 2 rooms for my family and I to stay for 4 nights. Its an older hotel in SF near the civic center, close to attractions and public transit, makes it easy to get around town. You have to pay $30/day for parking. Parking lot is secured and my vehicle was safe. I felt safe in the neighborhood. Housekeeping have to be requested. I stayed for 4 nights. After 3rd night, I requested housekeeping and was told they are short of housekeepers for the day. The hotel couldn't have 2 rooms cleaned so we stayed the entire stay with no housekeeping
