The bed was comfortable, and the sheets were clean. The shower had hot water and great water pressure. The gentleman at the front desk when we checked in at midnight, was very kind and explained the processes of the hotel very clearly. The neighborhood is noisy. I would not leave anything valuable in your car. The parking situation is a little difficult. You do sometimes have to park two cars in front of each other. It is within walking distance to a couple of great coffee, shops, a market, Ghirardelli Square, and fisherman’s wharf. Overall, I would stay here again. It was great for the price.

Good location for what we were doing/wanted to do. The room was funky, beds going different ways making it hard to maneuver around the room (4 of us in a room and on the reservation). When we arrived (almost an hour after we were told we could check in) the room was still not ready but they let us park and go do our things while waiting for the room to be ready. Staff was nice and even brought us extra pillows when requested.

I would not recommend this property at all to that end I would not put the homeless and one of these. The man who finally met us at the door, looked like he had been fighting someone. He was bandaged up with a blackeye. There was a mess everywhere and garbage and filth. The only saving Grace was the parking and the location

Lukewarm shower. Everything else is good.

Being within walking distance to the fisherman’s wharf was great but the shower didn’t get warm. The sink where we washed our hands had better water pressure and got hotter than the shower ever did. Beds were comfortable. Room was decently clean. Close to a convenience store.

There was large dog poop in front of the door. The walls were black with hand prints/dirt. The shower floor hadn't been touched and was black as well. There was dried bloody snot or something on one wall, sheets were stained and had holes. Ten dollar parking fee was not in listing nor was the $100 security deposit. Parking was double stacked so you had to ask for the other car to be moved to get out. Tenants were yelling and fighting throughout the night, gun shots in parking lot. We had no choice to stay as surrounding hotels were booked. No sleep was had. Honestly the worst hotel I've stayed in. Left at first light.
