Property is old, however beds were clean and bathrooms and shower was updated. In room carpets looked dirty. Staff was very welcoming and helpful navigating the neighborhood. It’s a great location to visit most sights by food. We enjoyed the location. Nice to see SF recovering post COVID. City felt much better in summer of 2025 vs last year

This hotel was decent for what it was... I must say that the carpet does give off a smell like it needs to be cleaned and the circulation through the hotel is minimal but other than that the staff was nice the space was decent and it was good for the 2 days I needed it for.

Nice and quiet inside, safe. Locked and watched front door. Very loud outside all night but we expected most of it, no a/c so open window hear all- try just bathroom window and get fan as close to drown out. No space no table or counter, so tight if 3 people (2a 1k). Buy cold brew for frig cause no microwave. No wash cloths - so pack em. We are not the stay in room type and out 5-7am each day and it was great for that and we would stay again
