I was really looking forward to staying at the Good Hotel, but I just wanted to cry when I opened the door of our "courtyard" (which actually means motel) room. Looks amazing on photo, but it's far from having this cool, fresh, clean vibe/look. Tiny pillows, hard bed, weird smell, could hear the neighbour sneeze. Ended up calling Expedia at... More

Was allocated a very small room with the smallest doublebed ever seen. View to a brickwall two meters away. Complained and got a nice room with two beds and streetview. Friendly staff, but no luxery at all. A lot of people are living on the street in the neighborhood. Not a place for kids.

Dear SENOdense, We are glad that our friendly staff accommodated you with your request for a move to an available room facing the street. Our little neighborhood of SoMA is an eclectic and diverse area and although it's not the luxurious part of, "The City," it helps to make up the overall makeup of San Francisco. We hope to see...

Stayed here during April. The hotel itself is quite nice and clean with good facilities that have obviously been well thought-out.

Had a good stay here with a trek group but didnt like the location much. We all liked the rooms and the staff seemed nice enough having to deal with 14 of us checking in all at once. Either way, it was better then the tent I'd been in for three weeks.
