“Perfect location, price and service.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 28, 2012

Nothing but good things to say about our stay here. The young gentleman at the front desk was very pleasant during our check in and then came outside to assist as I backed into a corner parking spot. The next morning there was someone new at the front desk and later I saw him helping someone with parking. Excellent service. The room we had with a king was very clean, that includes the sheets. Newly refurbished bathroom and great shower. Yes the main road out front was loud but we drowned that out with a cool “white noise” app. Yes I’d go there again, location was perfect for touring as well as restaurants and coffee shops over on Chestnut Street.

Room Tip: Okay so bring some ear plugs due to the noise from main road that this hotel is located on.

“Best avoided”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed September 23, 2012

We stayed here because it was reasonably priced and we figured we didn't need anything fancy just to sleep in SF. Big mistake. The bed linens and the bathroom were clean enough, but just barely. The bathroom was cramped and I kept hitting my head on the shelf above the sink while I was washing my face. The room was dark, the bed not comfortable, and there were dirty fingerprints all over the door. The walls were paper thin and we could hear everything going on in neighboring rooms and outside. The other visitors were noisy at late hours, and on our last night we were woken up by people yelling and a car peeling out of the parking lot at 1am. I don't know how the breakfast was, since it began so late we were gone long before it even started.

“San Fran Bed for the night”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 3, 2012

had 2 rooms booked here. Was a bit wary after i booked with some reviews, but the rooms where extremely clean and the beds where very confortable and had a great nights sleep. you could hear traffic noise , but nothing that bad that would disrupt your sleep.
location was excellent, and with so much time spent away from the hotel, it was basically only used for sleeping. The parking was fine, there was plenty of spaces on a first come basis, but lots of parking around the area if you did not get a space. Breakfast was none existent coffee and bun, but i knew this before i booked, and the IHOP directly across was fine for breakfast.
lots of eating places around the area, and extremely safe, which was what we wanted. For the price we paid it was fantastic, and would have no hesitation recommending this to others, if you get a good deal

“Good enough for the price”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed September 2, 2012

Having stayed at SF several times I realized that you pay more for the location part than for the actual room-part, so this time around I choose prize over location - and I did not regret it.
The room comes with free parking, in SF a real value. Now, the location is not that bad, around the corner is a Bus stop (Bus Nr.30) which gets you in ten minutes to the action of Fisherman's Wharf.
Check-In went fast, but when I entered my room 219 (elevator is on location) it stank horribly. Obviously house-keeping was aware of the situation because an additional working fan was in the room and the air-condition on high. I gave it two hours to clear out the stink, but it did not help. So I asked for another room and got one. This one was in order, a bit run down, but clean and comfortable, the shower was the best on the whole two-week trip. Breakfast in the small Cafe on property was just not good, they opened after 7 a.m. and were not friendly at all. Across the street is an Ihop. In the area are lots of restaurants of every color.
So I probably will stay there again.

Room Tip: Third floor is best because of the street-noise

“Well situated but rooms a bit dark”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed August 29, 2012

This is a good location, you can walk in about 20 minutes to Fisherman's Wharf, there are plenty of diners in the area like the Ihop and Mel's Drive-In, both very good. Lombard street is a busy road, and there are lots of city buses you can catch for $2 a trip, anywhere you want to go as your ticket lasts 2 and a half hours. The rooms are ok, but no outlook from most of them, so a bit dark. Not that you would stay much in the room anyway. Parking is a bit tight as there are only a few places. Breakfast is provided by the little cafe next door, but only coffee and muffins. Best to go to the diner. Paid about $100 which is average. Staff on desk very helpful. Take a walk up to the roof where you get a nice view of SF including the bridge if it is not too foggy.
