You get what you pay for. Clean rooms, convenient location right beside freeway and river trail. Other guests are a mixed bag, some look like they live there... not going to say I wasn't worried about my car overnight. But there is security around all night. Staff seemed a bit overwhelmed. Breakfast has powdered eggs but it was enough food to get going. If you can handle "a little rough around the edges", this is for you.

Two day family stay. Housekeeping lacks a bit but the overall stay was good. Definitely not somewhere I’d stay again due to the heavy traffic. To each is own but not for my kiddos. I say it’s clean breakfast is good and rooms are somewhat cozy.

In a very bad area!. The room was clean and beds comfortable. The staff were nice. The street and stores around the hotel had vagrants everywhere and I did not feel safe. The breakfast didn't look appetizing so we went to Starbucks on our way home. Don't recommend this hotel.

I didn’t even stay the night. Checked in and saw how dirty and unsafe room was and left within 5 min. I couldn’t get a refund and lost money, but Atleast I didn’t get any bedbugs or robbed staying in that room. It’s dirty, smells and they have homeless people stay there and around hotel.

The door doesnt close properly at all, it latches and locks but can fully see outside through the gap in the door. Blood stains on furniture Tv doesnt work as intended (built in chrome cast doesnt work on eaither tvs) One of the tv remotes doesnt work, however since there is two tvs we just used the other remote The desk clerk was fully texting someone as my partner and i was checking in. Like IN the middle of checking in stoped, picked up his phone and texted back and forth put his phone down and resumed checkin us in Theres also TONS of people just hanging out outside the rooms, next to their cars playing music ect. Theres TONS of homeless people near by the hotel, which i guess should be exspected with the location. I communicated this via their texting platform and was fully ignored. Not at ALL what i exspected and im VERY disappointed with our stay.

If you're cheap like me, this is a great place to stay! However the hotel sits in the tenderloin District which is full of homeless prostitution and crazy drugged out people. On almost any given night somebody's screaming and yelling at each other in the room below you or the room next to you. It's super noisy in the mornings with kids running down the platforms the maids clunking their carts along talking very very loud. Our front door to our room had a huge dent by the lock, it looked like someone had to use a police battery Ram to get into the room. So if that kind of gives you an idea of the neighborhood you're going to be experiencing. I hope this helps you. They have a nice breakfast for you, hot coffee was just great. The refrigerator in the room was Ice cold. Nice to have a microwave in the room as well. The bedding was very clean Limited towels. Oh and by the way we had to call the office three times over our week stay to get maid service. So it's a little lackluster, however if you want to save a buck this is the place to go.

Do not stay here. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. To start, I found a cockroach in my room. When i was checking in there were 3 cop cars out front. Second I tried taking a shower but the bathroom was dirty and full of hair in the shower like nobody cleaned it. Next, the water in the sink would not drain. Then I found out the ac was broken. After asking for a refund the staff played games and refused to acknowledge their wrong doing and did not offer a refund. Please do not stay here.
