We stayed here for two nights and had a great experience. The room was clean, comfortable, and spacious, with a mini fridge, microwave, sink, and basic dishes. The bathroom was clean and everything worked well. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the continental breakfast included a waffle machine, toast, cereal, hard-boiled eggs, and fresh fruit. We would definitely stay here again.

Old hotel with a lot of character in a safe neighborhood. Free breakfast is a plus. Large room, good storage space. Kitchenette is a plus but very few plug points in the room.

Friendly and helpful staff. Nothing fancy but clean and comfortable room with a very comfortable bed. The breakfast was o.k. with just a few simple choices. Close to everything and it’s in a pretty safe area considering you’re in a big city. Good value overall.

This is a cute hotel in a central location. It is with in walking distance from China town, cable carts and Bart station. It is very clean, rooms come with a small kitchenette, with microwave and mini fridge. They even have some dishes in the room. It is an older building ( but that is pretty much every building in SF), I thought it was very cute and well kept. Most hotels do not have AC, so this one didn't had one, but had a ceiling fan and you can open the windows. The double room has full size beds not queen, that worked fo us. Bathroom was super clean, bring your own toiletries for sure. They do provide continental breakfast, very basic selection boiled eggs, waffles, cereal, coffee, we thought it was good enough. The highlight was the make your own waffle station. There is a minimart store right next door to the hotel, super convinient and restaurants all around. If you are looking for a place to stay for a couple of days within a reasonable price and not looking for luxury, this is your place. The area is average to good, we never felt unsafe walking anywere. Overall we enjoyed our stay and we would definitely stay here again.

You get what you pay for. Staff very friendly. Hotel is fairly good location but very old and rundown and the room smelled pretty bad. The continental breakfast is basic. Overall, value is ok but wasn’t the most fancy of stays!

Classic older hotel with friendly staff. Sweet sepia-like hand drawings of old famous city views on all doors and walls. No air conditioning but screens on some windows (so loud city sounds all night long.) Elevator has a manual gate, which was a fun retro experience. The walk-in closet is massive enough for two suitcases open on stands and still room for two people to use it as a dressing room. Room is large even with the king-sized bed but the bed is very stiff. Breakfast was provided but was somewhat limited (hard boiled eggs, toast, fresh waffle maker, apples). Best to consider parking is tough—they said it could accommodate a very small sedan only, so we ended up having to use a public lot two blocks away ($45/day, add $10 for in and out and only open 7am to midnight). Street parking is metered and restricted to 2 or 3 hours on Monday to Saturday. A couple of good neighborhood coffee shops and restaurants in the surrounding blocks.
