Well jealous t older hotel continently located 2 blocks from the union square. Room was clean the queen size bed felt smaller, otherwise, great stay. Oh! The mini refrigerator in the room, big plus. I’m would return to this hotel again in the future.
The best low budget accommodation I’ve stayed in sf. Nice staff, allowed late checkout, great safe location. It’s not 5 star but it feels 5-star for the price.
Very loud at night, poorly insulated to the exterior - new windows would go a long way to improving the property. Staff barely registered us (pretty sure they were high?), elevator worked only intermittently, and there's no AC. The carpet was quite old and felt kind of gross.
Location was pretty decent, and accessing the property was straight forward.
There were bedbugs at the hotel. Lots of homeless people outside the property bed did not have a fitted sheet on it. There were no blankets just one sheet. I would never recommend a family coming to this hotel.
Folks tend to turn their noses up and small cheap quaint hotels like this. Is it the Marriot or a Hilton? No, but the room was very clean and surprisingly big for what it was. Very clean and nice sink and bathroom combo with good storage if needed. Was very quiet (I came down for a music event that got out late) and the door staff was there to greet me and get me setup in my room at like 2am. I found parking right in front of the hotel. Overall it was a very enjoyable experience.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Clean and neat but required a few maintenance jobs, bathroom door didn’t stay closed and paint peeling off the ceiling, but bed and amenities were good. If you just need a clean room for somewhere to stay this was great.

The property was close to the theater, which was great, but the streets of San Francisco are pretty noisy, not the hotel’s fault
It was good for the price! A bit smaller than I expected but no complaints there. My only complaint would be the parking garages. We asked about the “onsite” parking and could not find it so we had to settle for somewhere else near by. Might not be their fault! But still just really annoying to look for. Aside from that it was in a nice area! Lots of food around and loud music!
The hotel was great, the room was very nice and clean everyone was very professional. The only thing about the area were the the hotel is located. There are a lot of homeless people and the area is very derty. I know it's not the hotels problem. But this makes me not want to be out late , i got back at 9pm and did not want to go out and get food. Good thing that they have restrictions next door and a Jack in the box at the corner.
The hotel is small and old. It is fine enough when you are just essentially sleeping there, but overall not the nicest hotel. There are not amenities, no breakfast of any kind.
Original old hotel remodeled on Geary street close to union square. Very small bath closet, but functional. Late check in was easy. Room was quiet and safe.
