The room is acceptable, yet the hotel price is extremely high. Prices around San Francisco are inflated, with comparable hotels costing 20%-30% more here than in other areas.

Disliked: Amenities
The room was just adequate. Nothing special. The cleaning between days was non existent- they took used towels, but did not make the bed, leave new towels, replace coffee or cups. Staff was moderately helpful, but not up to expected hotel standards. This hostelry can be compared to a low end Motel 6.

I am shocked at Hotels.com for promoting this filthy hotel!…I have photos which show how disgusting this place was. We could not even brush our teeth, as the sink did not drain!…the TV did not work, the towels were dirty, the ceiling had black mold,,,THE CONDITIONER from the soap dispenser on the wall had black bugs in it! OMG….and we could not complain as we checked in very late at night. We were visiting a family member in the nearby hospital, and just needed a room to shower and sleep before checking out again early the next morning! DO NOT Book this PLACE….IT WAS GROSS…….. we changed to a hotel down the street the next night for $40 more and it was WONDERFUL I WANT MY MONEY BACK
