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

For the location, the price was OK, but it's a bare bones place. Room was clean, and the bed and shower were decent, but they don't even have coffee.
Bathroom is completely covered in black mold ! But the guy who seems to be the owner made up for it so i’m sorry to him for this review I don’t blame him. Goodnight!

No on place to eat . Room cold .No personal thermostat in order to heat my room. The whole building needed to be heated . Which they did with reservation. The day I arrived it was in the low 50"s and rainy no sunshine. room was on the cool side.
Nice budget hotel in the heart of San Fran. Clean, basic and well-furnished room. Convenient to Union Square and other areas. Just be mindful of vagrants and definitely park in a safe garage.

Great value, friendly staff. Room was clean as I would expect. Neighborhood is convenient block up from Union square, Easy walk to market, moscone, ferry building, financial district, and Chinatown.
I liked that the front staff made sure that check in process quick and efficient.
No issues.
If anyone is arriving after 11pm and need to find parking in a garage, good luck.
All the nearby lots closed by 10pm.
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.
Nice and quiet inside, safe. Locked and watched front door. Very loud outside all night but we expected most of it, no a/c so open window hear all- try just bathroom window and get fan as close to drown out. No space no table or counter, so tight if 3 people (2a 1k). Buy cold brew for frig cause no microwave. No wash cloths - so pack em. We are not the stay in room type and out 5-7am each day and it was great for that and we would stay again
Need to make a special mention about Hansel , very knowledgeable about the area and wiling to chat , let us keep our room as we had a late flight and it was much appreciated , great location close to public transport and restaurants , room was a bit small so not much room for two large suitcases but otherwise ideal for our short trip

A short stay in San Francisco as part of a longer trip
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.
