Disappointed that they wouldn’t accommodate in any way due to covid. We would of wish to reschedule or have some options, instead of losing our money for something not our fault.

This property was like every other 1900 San Francisco remodeled building. Small rooms, tight elevators, and amenities from a different time. With all that mind however, the monarch hotel was a great stay for the price and location.

The hotel was fine considering it's in the middle of the Tenderloin. Lots of homeless all around but the facility is fine. The heat in our first room didn't work but they quickly put us in another room with working heating. We had to jiggle some connectors and put the cable box on its side to make the TV work, but then it was fine. Room was basic but fine.

The pictures are deceiving. As soon as we walked into the room we knew we couldn’t stay there. This hotel needs a serious makeover! The gentleman at the front desk was very nice and welcoming, it’s too bad the rooms weren’t as nice as he was.

スタッフは笑顔で接してくれて、とても優しい。 駅やユニオンスクエアからは少し距離があるが、近くにHertz があるのでレンタカーするには便利。 夜はバー帰りの人達でうるさい界隈。危険ではないが浮浪者も多い。建物自体は古いしアメニティも無いが、ユニオンスクエアからこの距離でこの値段なら、、、と思える方にはありがたい存在です。
