Bad from beginning to end. When I showed up, none of the parking was available due to contractors being present and taking up half the spaces with vehicles and materials. My room did not have towels when I arrived, and I was only given 1 bar of soap. The microwave did not have a glass plate, so things put in the microwave would not rotate and cook properly. The faucet was scalding hot, except for one spot where you barely got a trickle of room temperature water. Due to the contractors being present there were materials scattered around the place and in the parking lot. The work was also extremely noisy and made sleeping in or napping very difficult. The door to my room latched flimsily and felt insecure. The room did not have a deadbolt lock to use on the inside. The bedsheets are poor. The comforter has a sheet on top and bottom due to the fact that it's covered in little burn holes. The list goes on.

This a motel. If you're looking for a luxury hotel experience, you will be disappointed. Compared to other motels, this is a nice place to stay especially if the location is convenient for your plans. It's in SoMa which is not so much centrally located but more like "adjacent." I find the in-room refrigerator and microwave to be very useful. At this time (mid-2025), rooms are being renovated and rooms are rented that are "in progress." They are suitable for use but unfinished. That said, the renovated sections are very attractive. While there's a very nice wall-mounted television, personally I don't fully understand how it works. It's not cable/satellite but (I think) Roku. Even so, I can always find something interesting to watch. Staff seems friendly and helpful. They even had the form you have to sign at check-in printed prior to my arrival. It might only save a minute or two but it's a nice touch.

STAY AWAY

Stayed here over the weekend for a family graduation. NEVER AGAIN. Bed bugs, sketchy area, bad parking, and so much more. The people next to us kept loud music going until 1am, and there's people waiting near the doors to follow you into the hotel since they don't have keys. On our last night, the manager was robbed at gunpoint for keys to the rooms. Don't stay here if you value your safety!

Booked a premium room with queen size bed but was told they only have double. Not sure what we paid the extra for. Front door is not seal hence we can smell weed periodically throughout the night. The room is very small, and not clean. The shower is super small. Hairdryer is broken. Parking is a joke, there are only about 6 parking spot and the rest they use as storage. Overall we will not be returning there.
