One of the worst hotel I've stayed, The bed linen was old, stained, and had holes in it. Microwave didn't work, the mine fridge frozen my bottles of water, even at the low thermostats. The neighborhood is noise and unsafe, many homeless sitting in the entrance at the sidewalk.

I got there past midnight. Homeless are everywhere and human feces on the sidewalk. There was no bathroom in the room. It’s a shared bathroom in the hallway. But I was too scared to leave my room. The room at least had a sink, so I ended up urinating in the sink to avoid leaving my room at night. Do yourself a favor and pay extra to stay at a real hotel. One near the airport would be much more suitable.

Staff were helpful but the room is not air conditioned and you share a bathroom w the other guest. No elevator but the staff had one that was super old and they did help me bring it up to our room. The environment was not the best outside the room. But sf is not the best area. Hotels were booked out for a cyber security conference otherwise I wouldn’t have stayed here.

It’s in the tenderloin of sf so prepare for that. The rooms are cold and make sure to ask for a towel. For the cost maybe worth it but wow that neighborhood is beyond noisy.
