The location was great! Walking distance to all the popular tourist spots. Room was small but comfortable. The only thing was the noise coming from upstairs. It was just constant banging sounds. Good thing it wasn’t during the night so we were still able to sleep. All the staff were friendly and accommodating. They also have timers on their light switches. So we’d be showering and the lights would just turn off. We had to learn to work with it. We’d stay here again though it was great for the price.

For such a small room, understanding the beds take up most of the living space, why are the closets so huge? Other then that we had a wonderfull stay and the beds were really comfy. Everything was clean and the bath was great.

Average

An average SF hotel. Ideal for brief stays. The hotel rooms could use a slight refresh. Only one working elevator for guests and staff. Need to minimize noise from other guests. Consider adding mugs in guest rooms.

The overall location of the hotel was good. Easy to walk to surrounding tourist attractions or take public transportation. The area did have a lot of drug addicts and stragglers. I would also say the hotel male staff were a bit micro aggressive. In particular, Paul had a bad attitude. The elevator was also out of service when I went out at night and I had to walk the stairs to the 7th floor. I would not stay here again.

The room is confortable but there is not safer/locker or fridge in the room. Also, you can hear other guests talking in the hall. The hotel itself was very clean but the blocks around the hotel were not nice, lots of homeless in that neighborhood. The room has a coffee machine, but after the first day, after using the two coffee pods in the room, we need to request the front desk for more because they would not replenish the coffee or cups when they cleanned the room. The breakfast in the restaurant downstairs was supposed to be served from 06:30am to 10am. We were there at 06:35am and the waiter said that coffee would be ready in 10-15 min which was a bit of iupset since we needed leave the hotel at 7am to go to Napa. Other than that the food was ok. I beleive the restaurant is not part of the hotel is runned by a thirt party. The hotel staff were very nice and helpful.
