Firstly the property Bereford Arms is in the unsafest and dirty neighborhood of San Francisco. Don't be fooled by the name of the Hotel Beresford Arms or the photos shown in Expedia or any websites. This hotel is in the notoriousTenderloin area of San Francisco (please look up for more details). Once you get to the hotel you are aware you're not in the safest neigbouthood and when you enter the hotel you get the smell of a budget hotel. Since it's an old property the rooms are big but absolutely minimal maintenance. The rooms very smelling, dirty and the bathroom had been clogged one day after use. Since the day was a Sunday no manitenance staff (even otherwise I dint think there is one). Some front desk staff are rude when asked a question or need help. No basic hotel amenities are provided. So once the night falls when you feel asleep and woken shocking at around 12 Midnight with loud sounds of music, pitfall/dogs barking, people talking loudly swearing etc. THESE DISTURBANCES GO ON TILL MORNING absolutely unacceptable. To make it worse these disturbance are right under the window of the rooms #304/305 and I think it will be heard all over the property. Then after the first night of scarce sleep we took a walk around the property and noticed that the property is sandwiched between two homeless Shelters whose residents some of them prefer to stay outside near the Bereford Hotel all night with their music, dogs and god only knows what else goes around there. SO BEWARE.

So ... The room was small ... the widows opened but are single pain. The roll up blinds don't roll up all the way. We held to window open by p[utting the fan into the window opening - and turned it on for air circulation which worked fine. Staf were friendly. Place is just old. We tried food across the street and to the right. The corner place was fine. The one just further was not fresh tasting. I had to go to the corner place for tea in the evening. No tea or coffee making in the room. Morning tea and coffee as advertised. Just not anything special. ... Just ok/good place. Staff were gracious.

Very Unhappy

I have marked everything as terrible. The outside of this hotel looked nothing like the photos. The area was so dirty, people eating out of garbage cans, drinking on the sidewalk, sleeping on the slidewalk, etc.. When we drove up to the hotel, we took one look at the area, the fact that parking was 2 blocks away (yes they had valet but that would have cost me about $100 each way), and I didn't feel safe stepping out of my car. I am not unfamiliar with big cities having traveling to NYCity, Seattle, Vancouver and felt safe there. We did not stay and ended up having to pay $200 to stay at a Doubletree Inn outside this terrible area.

Not the best

This hotel is clean for its age. The staff is professional and helpful. The room was okay. The biggest issues are location and parking. The location is near the tenderloin. It’s okay within the general vicinity of the hotel but, as you go south, it gets pretty dirty and seedy. All night there are sirens and people talking loudly outside. It never really quiets down. Parking is a nightmare. You can try to get valet but there are only 2 spots to park and wait for them and they never seem to be around - we were told it would be an hour wait to get our car back at times and it is pretty pricey. You can try for street parking but it’s sketchy at best and you’re likely to have your car broken into, according to people in the area. It’s basically a hassle to stay at this place. It’s not horrible overall, but a logistical nightmare.

We had a nice stay. Good room, excellent and spacious bathroom with bidet, 2 sinks, full bathtub and shower, with a terrific kitchette featuring full-size refrigerator, stove with cooktop, sink, and microwave. Breakfast was a tad uninspired - bland, cold pastries were the main feature. Overall, very satisfactory stay.
