Let me first preference by saying we did not end up spending the night there. Our event got out relatively early and as I was not feeling well, we decided to drive the two hours back home. My daughter was very happy to leave as she was certain there would be bed bugs… The inside was decorated nicely. Only a little bit of mold in the tub/shower… I do have to say I was very surprised at the condition of the hotel both outside and in, as it got really great ratings on hotels.com. It was obviously old and rundown. One of the reasons I picked that hotel was because of the parking. However, parking was not guaranteed but they did have a first come first serve policy. We did find a place to park. It was very close to our venue, the Herbst Theater in San Francisco. We were able to walk there and the walk was well lit. The young man who checked us in was very nice. There was pigeon poop on the stairs and stair railing and all along the walkway to the individual rooms. The door to the elevator was locked. At 9 o’clock, only one of the entryways to the stairs was opened.

The room was fine, but it seemed a little dishonest to charge full price when they were doing roof construction at 9 AM on a Saturday. There were signs around the property, but there was no way for us to know until we arrived. A discounted room rate would have been a good faith move.

Staff were very hard workers. Rooms were very clean and the manager was especially accommodating and conscientious. Close to civic center and a lot of restaurants . Made reservation a week before. Most nearby hotels were over 800$. So crazy. The inn was much more reasonable with free parking. Not much to look at but felt very comfortable .

Just an overnight stay to attend the opera. Location was great and the parking was a bonus, although it is limited. The hotel is a little funky, especially the elevator, but the room was large and very comfortable.

Good: Pricing, safe area, comfy bed, heater works well, some free parking (very limited, FCFS), helpful & polite check in. Bad: (1) toilet kept filling every 45 minutes or so due to bad plunger (loud, had to manually shut off water to sleep), (2) bathtub drain mostly clogged (water was 4-5" deep by end of shower, took 30+ min to fully drain), (3) hot water took a good 5 minutes to reach shower ( which contributed to drainage issue) (4) blackout shades are not flush mounted against the windows, so room never really was dark (luckily we brought eye masks) Front desk seemed willing to correct these issues upon reporting at checkout, but we duscivered them when we returned back to the room about 2am after a concert and were way too tired to await any maintenance, on problems that should have PREVIOUSLY been identified by cleaning staff. Good price for the one stay, but hesitant to return again.
