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'

The hotel has aged and not well maintained over the years. The window to our bathroom was broken with a section broken out. Unfortunately, you cannot regulate the temperature in the room. We loved the art deco appearance in the online photos and in reality it was not thoughtfully maintained. Staff were amazing, helpful, and kind. Another guest, above us, stomped on their floor and knocked on the walls until the early hours. We felt safe, but sad about the state of the property.

If you want a quaint retro feel hotel this place is for you. If you can look past its imperfections you will find a comfortable stay. We may have been a bit niave but the area is terrible, full of people living on the streets and using drugs, one even weilding a knife on another. Once inside you do feel safe, although the room we had was quite noisy especially with some people screaming and rubbish trucks doing a 4 am pick up. Overall, we got what we paid for and the staff were super accommodating

sketchy looking rug stains, a heater with a broken nob that doesn't turn off, the heater also made the loudest popping noises all night - we barely slept. Front desk staff was wonderful, but overall I would've rather paid more to stay anywhere else.

The area surrounding the hotel is ROUGH. It smells like you-know-what and there is garbage everywhere. The hotel was fine. There were marks on the walls and doors (like they had never been wiped down in 100 years. The carpet is dirty and needs to be replaced with hardwood. Phone did not work. Crumbled dry wall dust/plaster in all corners of the room. Bed comfy. No AC, loud outside with the window open. I would not stay here again but it did the job. Lovely vintage looking lobby and nice staff.
