We were iffy at first when we pulled into the hotel. But then when we checked into the room we were relieved! The room is decent and you get what you pay for. Did come with a small fridge which was a plus for me so I can store my Diabetic medicine. Front desk staff was very helpfull in helping... more

Very noisy. TV didn't work well. Room too small. Literature and postings at hotel advertised continental breakfast, but there was none and I didn't get up in time to go out to eat. Not a great area. more

We had to make a last minute booking since we were attending the Semiconductor convention at Mascone Center. The hotel was like 6 blocks away and the prices were way cheap compared to the hotels nearby the convention center. It took us a mere 16 minute walk to the convention center, and coming back at night we decided to cab... more

I stayed here for two nights, and I really liked it. My room was clean, and funny that the lady who commented on the homeless people. They are everywhere in SF, not just on this intersection! Its a big city, go figure! And SF is not a kid-friendly city, so why lug three kids around? SF is for adults! I... more

Our experience was so bad, I'm not sure even where to start. I booked my family and I (My husband and three children, ages 1,7,9) online for a four night stay as part of our yearly vacation. I've never stayed here, or at any other Howard Johnson before, but from what I've heard and read, I assumed it would be... more

Not bad for a budget hotel. Area isnt as bad as other parts of the city, after all it is San francisco! The hotel is secure, with a security gate at bottom floor to give access to only key holders. (no elevator which is typically expected with smaller hotels i guess) Rooms are clean, impressed with the granite bathroom counter... more

There is absolutely nothing good about this hotel. 1 - This portion of 9th avenue is an off ramp from 101 freeway. There is so much noice that you cannot sleep. 2 - This area of San Francisco is the second worse area (the work being 3 blocks away at 6th). Locals will avise that you do not walk in... more

i went there and first thought this is the smallest howard johnson i have ever seen. I mean all the surrounding buildings were all compact. I couldn't cancel my reservation so i had no choice but to stay there. The guy at the front desk "mike" was very nice and he knew the city well. He explained to me places... more
