A little old-fashioned, but the bed and shower are really good. Sadly, located in a area with lots of homeless/drug addicts. There is a gate though. For the price it was very good.

Liked: Staff & service
The staff was very nice and helpful. I did not care for the shared bathroom or showers. I wish the bedroom had its own bathroom and shower. The room was small but clean. The bed was very small and not comfortable unless you are teen or young child. The room was cold at night but too hot under all the covers. There is portable fan heater but I was unable able to turn it on or use it. The area around the hotel was not ideal it was a rough area. I asked one of the staff what is the least expensive way to get the airport and he recommended a cab which was around $80 the last time I traveled from the airport to a hotel in the same area. Thank god for google it recommended the bart train which was under $12 it saved me a bundle.

Great staff with friendly attitude and good suggestions as to where to go and where NOT TO GO. It’s giving hostel vibes with customer service attentiveness. The area around the hotel can turn from tolerable to hella sketchy. Great for solo travelers that don’t mind sharing a bathroom or a shower, bring your own toiletries.

The real lowdown on this place

Your enjoyment and satisfaction at this place really depends on your familiarity with and tolerance of modern US urban environments. The hotel is a quirky old property that feels pretty safe once you're inside. The immediate area does have a large unhoused population but you are also in easily walkable distance to Union Square and the touristy bits. I'm a street savvy older male so I felt fine but you have to gauge your own comfort level. It is a great bargain to be in the middle of SF.

Old building, old furnishings, old finishings, and not that well maintained. Everything is at the boundary of ok. Even the floor was inclined in the room, everything rolling from the door to the window... A good new layer of paint would do it good, and new furnishings. The showers were nice and modernized. The toilets less so. Everything was clean.

Hidden Gem

The place is a little run down, needs new carpet, etc. my room was very clean and modern. Had a window overlooking the garden that I could open for fresh air. Shared bathroom and shower is what it is, but was very clean. Robes were provided for going from shower to room. Place was quiet, service was friendly.

Great value for a short stay

Well located near Union Square and good value for money for a short stay. Super friendly staff at reception brought me a desk so I could do some studying. Many choices of eating and drinking nearby including morning breakfast to different styles of evening dining. All major shops and transport options (bus, cable car) are nearby. Bathroom facilities are shared so long as you don’t mind. Recommended !
