I reached out to the property over 4 times by email and phone and never heard back. Firstly it was a simple question about the room. Then over a week before I had to cancel due to unforeseen circumstances. I reached out 3 different ways on that and heard boo in return. I was hoping this would be my new go to when I came into town for work. But zero response has left me listening to the people who told me to fear bed bugs at the price.

I honestly liked this place. I’m not sure why the reviews aren't higher? The owner and his family are really kind, and helpful. It’s in a really great location too. I stayed there solo and felt safe. There’s a dive bar directly below the hotel with really good food and an awesome interior and really cool bartenders. There’s an incredible Mediterranean place, Pho place, and upscale cocktail restaurant, all, a block away. The room itself was on the 4th floor, and really clean and cute and had a sink inside, which was really convenient. There’s a shared bathroom, and I didn’t have any problems with that. It’s was two blocks from the convention center where I was working. It is noisy because it’s right by the freeway, but never obnoxiously noisy, and with ear plugs, I had 0% issues sleeping. For the price and location, I honestly think this is such an incredible find. Would recommend staying here

This property has tons of potential. Unfortunately, at $50 a night when everyone else around was charging north of $1000 this place just doesn’t have the money to reinvest in itself. No bathrooms in the rooms would have to be accounted for but it has a nostalgic feel - like the movie “It happened one night”

I enjoyed my stay. I read the reviews and I’m surprised people are surprised, disappointed, or critical. My stay here was 1/4 of the price of anywhere else in San Francisco.. Not sure what others would have expected at that price point… I stayed a full week. If you’re looking for the “Hotel experience” this isn’t it. If you’re looking for a cheap, safe, (relatively) clean place to stay that is a step up from a shared hostel this is it. I will say it is very loud on the weekends. Again for the price I payed.. I thought it was an absolutely great option. If you're a hotel person who wants amenities. This place probably is not for you. If you’re cool with hostels or simply want a cheap place to stay, the Utah Inn is a great option.

It is what it is… One of the most affordable rooms in the city. A live music honky tonk below you. A historic dive bar with culture and character. A hostel level of service, but it’s all about expectations. It’s a funky, cheap, clean, historic hotel with shared bathrooms, but I kinda dig it.
