I was afraid about the comments concerning the neighborhood, but they are really exagerated. The location of the hotel is really good, near good department stores and quiet during the night (I was in the 4th floor with a view to Market St. and I stayed there for five nigths). Easy transportation to anywere in the city. Service is very... More

Being the lazy sod I am, I booked this hotel 10hrs before I checked in. Didn't read any reviews and based my stay on the price. It was slightly below my expectations for the cash I spent. The room was small but the bed was comfortable. It got a little loud outside when road workers decided to start working at... More

If you want an affordable hotel walking distance from Market street and Union square, then this is the hotel you're looking for. It has its downside though. Just outside the hotel entrance, you bump into homeless people, crazy people, drug dealers etc.. As long as you're minding your own business you're fine. The hotel is less than a minute walk... More

I have given this hotel an excellent for their cleanliness and customer service and location to all shops and amenieties. DO NOT LISTEN TO THE BAD REVIEWS - I stayed here last week with a friend on a business trip. YES there are homless crack heads around the streets but they are also all over San Francisco! A city which... More

Great value for the hotel for being so close to Union Square. Sketchy neighborhood on the street west of the building, but the east side was fine. The street noise does not bother me since I have come to expect older building to have thin walls and major thoroughfares busy with traffic. No bedbugs, the heater worked fine, bathroom was... More

Don't let the web site picture deceive you. Though not far from the safety of the Market Street this hotel is located in a crack alley with dealers and prostitutes hanging out right outside the door. Suffice to say my girlfriend was not impressed and was afraid to step outside alone whilst I was attending meetings during the day. Otherwise,... More

Good value hotel in the very center, stayed there for business but you are just in the heart of shopping area, 3 minutes walking distance to the adorable cable car station. Room was not bad with a legacy TV with limited choice of Channels. Don't try to dine there, try out one of some restaurants around the corner or at... More
