Clean rooms, and I got the parking package which made it really easy for me. Convenient location and near by transportation and food. Friendly staff and I love that they have hand soap and lotion in the rooms. It was a bit annoying to have the water station only located inside the gym and to have the lobby bathroom to be hotel guest only. The moment I check out I couldn't use the bathroom or get water. But overall it was a great stay!

Chun

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The premises and room were pristine and in top notch condition. Everything seemed brand new and the beds were dream to sleep upon...though I was pretty drunk by the time I got to it, so my judgement might be off. Location is perfect for a real local taste of San Francisco. Polk street and its cross streets are packed with funky bars such as Kosy Kar, Lush Lounge, and Soda Popinski. Van Ness has my favorite SF meaty eatery of all time: Tommy's Joynt. Though if you're a pure tourist in the city, its not the most central location of sight seeing.
