Dirty sheets, and bathroom, dressing table wallpaper and bathroom cabinet in ill repair doors falling off. Trying to grab coffee and it is instant with a spoon in it for multiple users. What... More

Also the strong smell of the room was very irritating, I guess it was the cleaning powders or somewhat. The breakfast they are offering is kind of poor, on a small... More

I was very concerned after reading the reviews for this hotel on TripAdvisor but I am so glad I reserved this hotel anyway. The staff was pleasant and helpful and the continental breakfast was just fine (these were the two major complaints of this hotel). We stayed in the king suite which sleeps six and we loved the way it... More

i love the fact that this place is affordable WITHOUT having to sacrafice cleanliness and service in exchange getting it at such a affordable price.

If I could give the service a lower rating then a 1 I would in a heartbeat. I was coming up to San Fran for a birthday weekend with my boyfriend, before arrival I was already given a lot of attitude from the owner, who hung up on me three times while I tried to cancel my reservation and was...
