You can hear doors banging shut all hours. Television broken- never fixed. Offered to move me at 9pm (4hours after Id complained). Were pretty responsive via text. Elevator down when trying to check out- on the 7th floor. They did send someone to help with luggage. Location was convenient to lots of food and shopping. Reasonable price and was clean.

Can't open the window and sleep.....

The room does not have AC, and opening the window at night isn't a great option due to the noise from outside. Two pubs stay open until 3am, attracting lively crowds, while garbage and recycling trucks make their rounds every night. Expect to hear loud lifting machinery and the clinking of broken glass from the recycling process, making the area quite noisy after dark.

We were never notified that the check in desk was at the Stratford Hotel, down the street, around the corner, and up a hill. Having to drag luggage to the check in desk, wait in a long line for one person to check in two hotels, then drag luggage back to Bartley was terrible. Don’t stay here if you’re looking for convenient check in or acceptable service

Very noisy, the windows did not isolate any noise from outside so I could hear music from bars, homeless people yelling, and cars all night. The whole hotel needed maintenance. Walls had holes in them, the elevator made concerning noises. There were no additional blankets in the room and it was a bit cold. Towels in the bathroom had holes in them. Water pressure was super low. There was never staff at the desk. I would discourage anyone from staying here.

If you're looking for a place to spend the night with no frills, I can recommend the Bartlett. The room was clean, the mattress firm, and an iron and blow dryer were in the closet. The room temperature was comfortable but there was no thermostat. I did miss having a washcloth for my face, but that's minor.

Price=decent( specially if your on a budget). Location= excellent ( near the tourist spots, walgreens, burger king, basic necessities of a traveler). Staff= excellent( very friendly and helpful). The room we got doesnt have ac but if you open the window and turn off heater, it is comfortable. It has a kitchen and laundry that guests can use, but I only wish that water dispenser is more accesible after 11pm, they lock the laundry and kitchen so no water to drink after 11pm. Plus, hot water doesnt work either. Hoping they find a place to put the dispenser accessible in case guest runs out of drinking water.

I stayed here for about a week, and overall, it was a pleasant and comfortable experience. While the place has minimal amenities—no AC or fridge—it didn’t bother me much, especially since I visited during the winter. For the affordable price, it’s a good deal. However, if you’re expecting more, you might want to consider a pricier hotel. The location is decent, situated in the outer Tenderloin area (which, according to ChatGPT, is an area to avoid when visiting SF). There are quite a few homeless individuals in the alley behind the hotel, but the front side is very strategic—close to downtown and public transportation. My advice is to avoid walking around the back alley as it can be a bit uncomfortable (for me, it was very uncomfortable). That said, the hotel itself is okay, and the area in front is quite good overall.
