This is just a warning to all travelers! Even if you have a reservation, it doesnt count. My party of four reserved two rooms with two beds. One of our rooms was given away without notice. We contacted them three times to confirm our bookings. All was good until we arrived. We found out that they only booked us one... more

If you're in dire need of a place to lay your head, and you're REALLY trying to save some cash (even though its way too expensive for what you're getting) then the Tropicana is the place... But, if you're looking for a pleasurable, clean, trouble-free experience, look elsewhere... The rooms are grimy, the hotel smells like a blend of rotting... more

Comfy beds yes, but very basic, i guess you get what you pay for when it comes to customer service. She wanted us to pay cash, and when we didnt come right back to her with the dollerbills she de-authorised our keycard so we couldnt get back into the room instead of just askeing us! Their choice of air freshner... more

These people have no clue they are in the service industry. They treat you like you have the plague if you have to dare ask for anything, like a clean towel. I don't mind they don't have daily room service but I do mind that they treat me like a pain --- if I need anything due to that arrangement.... more

Trust me, don't ever try this terrible hotel! I stayed there for ten days for the 2005 June SF Pride. At first i thought it's a clean neat and cheap accomodation option. It turned out the service was horrifying. Of the ten days i stayed, no one ever cleaned the room. Not even once! I even had to beg for... more

I ran into this hotel on craigslist.com offering a real great price for a weeks stay right at the start of the summer season. Other hotels were charging over $100 a nite but this place beat it by 50%. If you want a no thrills hotel which includes a refrigerator/microwave and more television channels then a lot of the high... more

So, I found this on craigslist in san francisco. I was moving there and needed a place to stay while looking for an apartment. Basically, this place was an SRO years ago, and was taken over, remodeled and turned into a sort of europeanish hotel. It's basically a decent step up from staying at a hostel. I got a private... more

I booked my room a few weeks in advance of my trip to S.F., and when I called the night before to confirm they wanted to charge me DOUBLE the price we agreed to when I made the reservation. Since they only accept cash there is notpaper trail or record of the price they promise, so they feel entitled to... more
