It´s a simple hotel, perfect to have a shower and sleep. It's clean, comfortable and offers a small breakfast (coffee, juice and muffins), which was fairly enough for us. The price is a good advantage if you are just looking for a place to rest comfortably at night. Other positive detail is the price of the valet, which was cheaper... More

Yes, it's near a bar and the neighborhood is a real one, it's not luxe. But there's a Diners Dives and Driveins next door. The cooks cook to order and the waitresses call you hon. A gem that made us want to stay another week and work our way through their menu. Also the walk to Market is short. Thank... More

This hotel has everything you can expect from a good budget hotel. I recommend this hotel unless you are traveling with small children. The location is close to the city center. The area around the hotel is not good but as long as you stay away from Sixth Street you should be OK. The rooms are decently clean with daily... More

The doors hardly close properly, the carpet is stinky and has stains and theres are a bar down below and you can hear everyone! Dont stay here,... More

Thought this was going to be a disaster based off of previous reviews, but very surprised. Hotel is clean and quiet. Staff is friendly, easy check in and out, and valet parking($16) This is not the Four Seasons, but in this price range its the best you will find in San Francisco.

As mentionned in the previous review, the hotel is near the bart, tram & bus stations. Beds were very conformtable. And the room was quiet despite thin walls (the hotel was not packed during our stay) The breakfast "on the go" is pleasant (muffins, coffee and fruit juice)

I would recommend this hotel in San Francisco. It's near the muni and bart station (Civic center on Market Srteet). We used the bart to came and go to the airport and the tram to go basically everywhere. From the hotel to the station is around 10-15 minutes. Room was clean and quiet. Staff always available. Breakfast with muffins, coffe... More

We just returned from staying 1 night at this hotel. The office staff was not friendly or helpful. They (3 different people) seemed way more interested in their laptop than in helping the customer. There were 4 people... extra 2 people cost $40 and we didn't have enough towels unless I asked for them. What does 2 extra people use... More
