I recently stayed here for my trip to outside lands. There were 4 of us and we wanted to stay in the city to stay close to the park... i wouldnt pay more than $* a night. The staff was GREAT! All the pictures are from atleast 8 or 10 years ago. The lobby is okay looking nothing extravagant. Its not till you go up to your floor that you are like what the heck its so out dated! The room is an okay size but there is no ac or heater. we were freezing at night. Lots of noise at night but we just ignored it. the bathroom was really small... no window or ventilation in the bathroom so all the condensation gathers on the ceiling and drips. there is a small blow dryer but i would bring your own cuz one of us used it and we couldnt get our hair dried cuz of all the dripping. I would reccomend getting the valet parking its roughly $* a day/night but its totally worth it. you just have to give them 30min advance warning when you need your car. Theres a burger king, carls jr, subway, starbucks, and mcdonalds all close by and within walking distance plus they are all open pretty late. The hotel gets kinda creepy with all the homeless but I would just say mind your own business and dont walk the streets alone. this is not your type of hotel if ur lookin for a romantic or relaxing getaway... staying by the airport is better its NOT far and the parking is free. its just as cheap and you can always take the bart into the downtown area for sightseeing or shopping.

We had booked this hotel online and had read quite a few of the reviews before choosing to stay here. In the end, we were happy we did. The location was very central, and the homeless concentration between the Civic Center area where the hotel is located and Union Square didn't seem to be higher than in some other ares we visited Downtown. it seemeed actually worse behind the Saint Francis and around the Hilton Hotel. The rooms were clean, the staff very young but friendsly and helpful, and the only regret we had was that the restaurant was closed. But we found a nice bakery across from the hotel, and there was a good restaurant/lounge near the Aisan Art Museum, just 5 minutes walking distance towards City hall. Overall maybe not for everybody, but just fine for us.

Overall the hotel was really nice, really old 100+ years. Room was OK, the shower pressure was the best part of it. The bell hop guy seemed kind of shady, tried to talk us into letting HIM park our car in a metered area instead of the valet parking in the garage. He said it's free on Sunday and it will save you lots of money but you have to move your car by 7AM. We decided on Valet parking due to area that the hotel is in. Outside the hotel was scary, there were as the bell hop said drug dealers on the corner, homeless people all over and very dirty. We went to go get food and I really did not feel safe in that area and would never stay there again. We had someone following us trying to talk to us, who we just tried to ignore. You could see Bloomingdales sign from our room. Not worth the savings, better to feel safe.

We had a rough first night, checking in to get two twin sized beds. But then got two full size the next night and through the rest of our stay. Location is great as far as local transportation, but the streets weren't the most comfortable at all hours. There are definitely nicer safer parts of town. Overall, I would recommend it for the price, as long as the price is under $*ish per night.

This is by no means a three star hotel, perhaps a two at best. Upon a very late arrival the clerk was nice and accommodating. But as soon as you get in the elevator you realize you have made a mistake as there is gang graffiti etched into the carpeted walls. Room was decent size, and painted nicely but that is as good as it gets. The bed was terrible, room was cold, called down to ask about heat and was told they did not turn on the heat in May. Asked for an extra blanket and was told we would have to wait until housekeeping came in the morning. Cigarette burns in the carpet and you have to leave your socks on. In a really bad area, very noisy. No public garages close by and the valet parking very expensive. Bathroom okay. The next day we left for an event and asked the desk clerk to call a taxi and she reacted like we being a major bother and was amazingly rude. Asked for a late check out on Sunday and was told fine but still got chased out of the room at 11:00 am. Bellman was of no serivce, stood there smoking while we loaded the car, This hotel might be okay for single guy who has gone to SF to party and needs a place to flop.
