This is an excellent budget hotel. While amenities are more limited than at other hotels in the area, the rooms are clean and the beds are comfortable. The staff is courteous and efficient, and there are multiple areas in the lobby to gather for socializing. I also really liked the restaurant in/next door to the hotel. I did wish there was real milk on offer at the free coffee station in the morning, though.

The hotel is a little bit dated, but has a lot of charm. The staff is super nice and the room was very clean. Affordable overnight parking is one block away.

Peter

Disliked: Amenities
Had to pay early check-in even though my room was ready. Terrible policy - the only inconvenience was to me. Tiny bathroom, tub too high - difficult to enter. Room light/ceiling fan control took two days to figure out. Mattress too soft, bad for my back. Had to pay for a refrigerator (quality hotels provide free). I won't stay at the Mosser again.

Easy check-in, nice swanky little lobby and friendly staff. The room was small though not an issue as it had everything we needed and was clean. Neat old building right next to moscone center west and near lots of restaurants. Great location for the price.

Courteous and professional staff. Safe, clean and comfortable. No microwave, no mini fridge, no coffee maker in the room, but the convenient location is a short walk to Whole Foods, fast food and sit-down restaurants. Cable tv, not Smart TV. I visit SF frequently and always enjoy staying at The Mosser. What it lacks in frills, it makes up in its antique charm. While the rooms are modern, the lobby and hallways and stairwells will take you back 100 years. Don’t pass this up.

There was an incident that occured next door to the hotel with police and gunshots. Not once did the hotel notify it's residents. There were several instances of homeless people screaming and loitering outside of the hotel and staff did not do anything to help or remove them from the door's entrance. We were not told that we would have to share a bathroom and shower with the hall upon booking. We had to use shower caps as makeshift shower shoes. The room was smaller than a closet and the coffee/tea provided as complimentary tasted awful.
