I traveled here a long time ago, but never got around to writing the review. I stayed one night with my dad, because I had SF State orientation the next day. We basically wanted a place just to crash and it was within a day or two of SF Pride (aka like the biggest weekend of the year) and I... more

OK...normally when I read these reviews I think that they are harsh but these were dead on! We didn't have the problems with bugs but the rooms were small and the web site is really deceiving! My husband and I took our 12 year old daughter with us and we didn't want her out past dark when we were on... more

I stayed here with 4 girlfriends while in San Francisco for a conference. We were sightseeing prior to the conference and wanted a well-located, cheap place to stay. We were students so the $100/night split amongst 5 ppl was right up our alley. However, the place was old and rundown, it smelled of old wood (a urine-like smell), and there... more

The Alexander Inn, altough near Union Square, is located among several low rent flop houses. The hotel is in disrepair with wall paper peeling, faded and stained carpets, thread-bare towels, doors that won't close easily and an elevator that feels like its going to fail at anytime. The list can go on and on. I wouldn't recommend this place to... more

This is, by far, the worst hotel we have stayed in in San Francisco. I would not choose to stay there again. Very noisy, stains on the walls, sheets had bugs in them, dust built up everywhere, mold in the bathroom and that is just to start. The best thing I can say is it is close to Union Square,... more

We have 3 small children and were looking for a suite in downtown San Francisco, and from the website this hotel looked fine. When we arrived (after getting the bus and a train from the airport to the center of town - very easy and cheap even with 3 kids, a stroller and 2 suitcases), there was a leaflet about... more

Great value for budget travelers. Convenient location with great breakfast (with egg and bacon). A bit old, but great service. Ice machine didn't work while i stayed though. A suite with separate door entrance is available (shared bathroom). more
