This is a very complcated one to write. I'll start with the fact that the staff were amazing. Everyone I dealt with here was kind and helpful. And the place was... clean. And had some very nice old wood furniture. But... it's old. It's crumbling. Lots of cracked surfaces, lots of worn and stained upholstery. The bed sheets may well have been made of sandpaper, and you can hear EVERY. STEP. TAKEN. on the floor above. We had booked a wheelchair accessible room, and while, yes, there is an elevator that got us to the floor, and we could navigate the chair to the room... that was the end of it. Once in the room, you couldn't get the chair to the bed. Thankfully my spouse can walk that far, but not all people can. The window didn't lock. (4th floor, but still.) The door to the fire escape on the 4th floor was not capable of closing, let alone locking. The door didn't fit in the frame. The radiator in our room was... uncontrollable. We turned it off (it was unseasonably warm in SF for Nov) but it turned itself back on, even though the dial was closed. The room became sweltering. Eventually the hotel management just turned the radiator system off to deal with it. At one point we considered switching rooms, but the room they showed us on the first floor also had a window that wouldn't lock. Not doing that on the first floor. No way. The neighborhood is fine. I mean, if you're a swaddled suburban who can't handle walking past an unhoused person, you might not like it. But it'

I don't know how people gave high rating to this hotel. Carpet was so dirty, room has musty smell. Bed not comfy. An old hotel, never been updated. If it was not late at night when we checked in, we could have left right away Not worth the money.If there's a zero star, this one gets it. We left the following day and just let go of our remaining 2 paid nights. Sorroundings doesn't feel safe. Homeless outside. Somebody knocked on our car while my, friend was checking in.Lobby looks okay but that's it.

No t.v working and did not change us to a different room. Front desk promised to refund someone money back. i paid 400$ for two night which was ridiculous considering how basic the rooms are. They lied about refunding some money back and manager wanted to act like he didn't know what I was talk about even tho the front desk staff told me he already spoke and confirmed with the manager about it. Expedia was no help either with digging deeper into it. Super frustrating situation.

The staff there was really kind and helpful. Our rooms were great to rest in. The bathrooms worked well, but walking in there can be a little unsafe, since the little bump underneath the door can cause you to trip if not careful. Another issue I ran into was trying open the bathroom door, since sometimes it would get jammed.

This hotel has ruined our family vacation. For a 3 star hotel, the only amenity that we got in our room was just a small tv. There is no internet, no hair dryer, no iron, no gym, no AC and no temperature unit in our room. I was mislead by all the wonderful reviews here on Expedia. The hallway was so smelly, and our room floor was so dirty. To make matters worse, our hotel room was so dusty that my wife woke me up every night. And, the hot shower was a non-existence. Noise level is super high. The heater made loud noises. We could hear footsteps from above us and from guests next to our room. In addition, the hotel bed was so awful and uncomfortable. For the cherry on the top, the location of this hotel is also not good. It's definitely not safe to walk around, especially at night. And, the hotel manager was never on site to address your issues. I was advised to make my refund request in writing to the management after I checked out on our second day because I couldn't take it anymore. And, the management has never responded to our request.

The accommodation was very old. They didn't clean the room, nor did they change the bed linens or towels once. They also charged me $70 in error. When I contacted the hotel, they informed me that it was incorrect and that they would refund the amount. They don't respond to messages through the hoteis.com app.
