The property was still under construction. Nothing was open yet like it looks on the pictures. The rooms were okay but did have a weird smell. The disappointment comes from all the homeless there is around that area.

Be sure you know that you’re staying in the Tenderloin. Pictures look much nicer than the hotel actually was. Restaurant, bar and coffee shop were all closed and not operating. Building is old, so they have a window AC instead of central air. Rug smelled musty when first came into the room. WiFi was not working at all, and it had very bad reception.

Tilden was an ok stay if you just need somewhere to sleep. The hotel was under construction/ renovations while I was there so there was a lot of clutter and construction workers walking in and out of the entrance. Not a big issue check in was simple. The elevator is TINY and barely fits 3 people. You can hear your neighbors through the walls pretty easily and the rooms are simple and seem to be getting updated? Idk it kinda felt somewhere in between new and old. I didn’t like that I could see other rooms across the courtyard through my windows. The room was clean though, that’s always important. But the bathroom was tiny and I’m 5,2 so I don’t like when the mirrors are high above the sink I couldn’t really see myself lol. The area in front of the hotel was clean enough but once you turn the corner you are bombarded with rows of homeless people. Which can be pretty scary, I wouldn’t suggest a nighttime stroll. The employees were very nice and helpful! Especially considering all that’s going on. It was a bit of a chaotic stay and I probably wouldn’t stay here again unless it was the last option. Maybe after the renovations….

The hotel was not really as it was pictured. Significantly older and did not really give a “boutique” feel. Minor upgrades would make a major impact here. Check in was tough as I waited outside for 10 minutes. The front desk attendant was sitting on the couches with his feet up in the dark and didn’t see me trying to get in. The elevator was is very slow and small. The last night of my stay, my TV did not work. Also, they should consider giving their guests water… The daytime staff members were nice upon entering and exiting the lobby. The housekeeping staff did great with room refreshing.

Small space

Room is very small, especially the bathroom. The pictures on hotels.com and online are deceiving. The bathroom and the sink are much smaller than shown. The hotel elevator only fits 4 people with luggage. It's a very small elevator and hotel, as well as room.
