Upon arriving in the room, we immediately noticed the stains and the tears in the carpet the graffiti on the walls, the broken sink, the torn bedding, the missing smoke detectors, mold on the floor, and what can only be described as possible drugs duct taped to the wall. When we immediately attempted to leave, the office was closed. We left and never stayed in the room. The area of town is very scetch. Pay the extra money and stay anywhere else.

This hotel should not be an option on Expedia. If you are not familiar with San Francisco, you may not know that there are many many people living on the street and probably doing drugs. There is no where to park your car off the street and there is a good chance a car would be broken into in this area. You have to wait for someone to ring you in because it is not a safe area. I checked out the room and decided not to stay there because it was not very nice inside either.

One step above a crack house. First room had dirty walls, dirty floors, cigarette burns on mattress and holes in blanket, so asked to switch rooms. Second room had more of the same(albeit 10% better), so decided to just ask for blankets and towels and brave it. Turns out, the extra blanket we got also had holes and cigareete burns AND they were only able to offer one towel. STAY AWAY!

**DO NOT BOOK HERE!!!** WORST EXPERIENCE EVER! Very disappointing and false advertisement, you cannot even call it a hotel. A lot of homeless person, I didn’t feel safe going to that area. Disgusting place, the room is garbage and bed sheets were not changed and has a lot of holes on it. This place is not proper and should not operate at all!!
