Do not stay here unless you have no other choice. One of the worst experiences from all the hotel stays in 2025. Probably better camping outside or in your car then staying 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.

Dear Orbitz, this hotel didn’t have a heater at the time we checked in 2:30am, also in front of Rivera Hotel there were so many homeless people sleeping, such a scary neighborhood and unsafe location, I called Orbitz at 8am, and Orbitz agent said you can check out the hotel and Orbitz will refund my money, I did not see the refund in my account and I had to call Orbitz again, and the agent refunded only $115, I am very frustrated at Orbitz as to why they accept these hotels in their system and even though I checked out, why I am not getting my full refund??! I have been with Orbitz over 30 years, and don’t understand why I get treated like this?!

Walking to and from this place even during broad daylight is frightening. Lots of druggies. Room was small. Shared bathroom. No heat. Extremely loud. The manager was conveniently never there. The absolute worst stay in my entire life. Zero stars.

This property is not a true hotel and was in unacceptable and unsafe condition. The room we were shown was extremely dirty—there was dog hair throughout the space, dog food on the floor, and visible stains on the bed. The bathroom had no door, and the toilet did not function. Additionally, the overall building and surrounding area were unsafe. We were harassed by individuals outside, and there was a ton human feces on the sidewalk directly in front of the entrance. Given these conditions, we did not stay at the property. Instead, we stayed with a friend in Oakland that night and booked an actual hotel for the following night.
