“Terrible”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed October 10, 2012

This was the worst hotel we stayed in during our almost 5 weeks in the USA. The room was tiny, the Capet was dirty and the room stunk of cigarette smoke. The front desk staff advised they would take a look a thist for us when we raised it on our first morning, but we ended up buying room freshner and sprayed it constantly. After reading the reviews on this site we did not get the breakfast in the hotel but went across the road to iHop. The breakfast area like reception and very part of this hotel was tiny. There was limited parking and we left our car and used the local buses and trolleys so we did not lose our car space. The guy behined the desk in the afternoons was helpful and advised us about the bus to ge to fishermans wharf. Had we not used Book It and not able to get a rend we would have gone elsewhere. I would not stay here again or recommend this hotel, to anyone. I think it was overpriced for what it was.

“OK for one night only”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed October 2, 2012

Off road parking-just! Complimentary breakfast-toast, muffins, fresh fruit, coffee machine didn't work. Room reasonably cleanish-at least I slept in it! Fridge-small + kick the door to close! Not a good position to be walking back to in the dark. Near the 15 stop on the Hop On Hop Off Bus - time it correctly though, the last loop starts from Fisherman's Wharf at 6.00pm. If returning in the dark, get a taxi. In daylight, walk along the water's edge-takes about 40mins to Fisherman's Wharf. Free WiFi but spasmodic. Staff helpful in printing off some vital documents for us.
OK for one night but wouldn't have liked longer.........

“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
