The staff was friendly and polite. The hotel was basic didn’t even have air conditioning and the are was not a good area. If you want to be harassed by lots of crack heads take your chances. There is a reason the price is so low.

You get what you pay for. The room was clean and tidy, but very basic. The only big negative is that you have no control over heating and cooling in the room other than a ceiling fan. With the wide variations of climate in SF, I think this could be a problem at times. During my one-night stay, it was not.

Great location across the street from the Curran Theater and just a couple blocks from Union Square. Friendly staff. The room was on the small side when compared to major chains, but clean and efficient. Would stay again.

Staff was very friendly, and the building has an old school charm like the rest of the city. For the budget, no complaints at all. We didn’t have enough time to check out their attached diner but it seemed really cute!
