The room was far nicer than I was expecting. We could hear our neighbors at night which wasn't ideal, the walls were a little thin. The area was actually okay, it was safe enough and the front doors are locked at night so I felt safe.

Hotel Julien was ok for the price. Extremely friendly and accommodating staff. A little outdated and the elevator was out (we were on the 5th floor) but the beds were comfortable. Overall it worked for what we needed. Careful walking around the area; it’s so sad to see how San Francisco has changed over the years. Massive drug problems that you really can’t get away from. We did not feel very safe at night.
