At check-in no one was at the front counter. I had to sit and wait outside. The bathroom had mold the chemicals that they use for cleaning was very strong in the room. Luckily the windows were accessible to open to air it out the room. I asked for specific service and was denied Was told to contact management management are useless.

Good location but Unreliable Services

Overall, I would not recommend this hotel despite its convenient location near the city center. Yes, the location is great, but there are serious issues that outweigh this advantage. First, the front desk is not always staffed. If you arrive at midday or late in the evening, you may find no one there and the front door locked. Since the room keys are also needed to access the building, this means you might not even be able to get inside. They claim there is a “resident manager” you can call for help, but that number is essentially useless. I tried calling multiple times, both during the day and at night, and not once did anyone ever answer. If you have an urgent issue, there’s basically no way to reach staff. Second, the hotel facilities are very outdated. Everything feels old and worn, and there were also quite a few strange guests around, which did not feel very safe. In summary: good location, but poor management, unreliable service, and uncomfortable environment. I strongly suggest looking elsewhere if you want a worry-free stay.

Very inexpensive old style hotel. I think it's partially residential hotel which gives it a quirky vibe. Great common room for cooking and coffee.

Best value in San Francisco by far. One block from Union Square and Chinatown, across the street Sutter-Stockton Garage. Simple, clean room. No thermostat but comfortable nonetheless. Snack area with coffee machine. Big screen TV. In the middle of everything. Will recommend to others on a tighter budget.

The staff here was so friendly, and welcoming. The person at the front desk was considerate and always greeted me, even when I was rushing out the door. I forgot some food in the fridge in my room when I checked out, and when I called to ask if I could come pick it back up, they put the food container in a plastic bag, put my name on it, and stored it with the rest of my luggage. I was so thankful for this! Overall the hotel was small albeit charming, and my stay was comfortable. For the price, I was really pleased with the service and quality.
