Close to Marcone Center and Powell Street cable cars and Powell Caltrain station. No A/C. Unable to leave my windows open unless I was on premise and awake, due to the fire escape platform and stairs immediately outside my window. Front desk has very limited staffing hours, but even those hours were often not staffed. For any assistance I had to call or visit a nearby sister hotel.

I arrived at around 11 pm just to find a sign at the door saying that in order to check in I had to go over to another hotel around the street. Walked over to the other hotel with my luggage in the middle of the night just to meet the person at the lobby of the other hotel who was a rude, senseless, heartless, and mean individual! I had left my identification in my work back at home and at my departure airport TSA verified my identity and let me fly, I got to my hotel and this man would not let me check in even with a picture of my ID in my phone, my boarding pass approved by TSA for flying, my medical insurance card, credit card and reservation confirmation all with my name on it! He refused and said there was nothing he could do and let me to walk alone at night in the streets which was unsafe at that time at night and with nowhere to go stay! Definitely will never book there again even with my id at hand and someone like him should never be allowed to work in customer service!

basic accommodations, pretty minimalist. though ADA compliant, not easy for disabled or short persons, as there are no grab bars in the standard bathroom and the towel bars are placed super high. but the beds are comfy, the location is good and the building feels secure. the staff are helpful and kind (although there are simply not enough of them.) also, getting a minifridge in the room is a huge hassle. the front of the building is very loud with street noise, but has nice big windows. the back of the building is quieter but many windows look onto a bare concrete wall. i have stayed here twice this month and actually really enjoyed my visit, it's a great value for the price. just be aware, it's not a standard hotel with daily housekeeping and amenities. but there is a kitchen, laundry room and guests get a voucher for onefree beer at the in-house brewpub!
