Agree that the place is dated, but appears they are in a slow process of updating. Check in was easy, thought it unusual that front desk person wouldn’t take an empty water bottle, instead directed us to an outside dumpster. Went to room, not sure if it was because of an older stained carpet but wife thought the room had the odor of a cheap cologne. Bathroom shower was updated, but upon taking a shower realized soap dispenser was empty. We alerted front desk they apologized and corrected. Bathroom wall needs to be painted. A couple of the shutters were broken so they wouldn’t stay open. They did have a nice outdoor seating area, that wasn’t set up to use (chairs stacked, tables dirty). Will admit this place is perfectly located for walking to shops in the downtown area and to the Embarcadero.

This has got to be the best hotel for the greatest price! And it’s a great area so close to the downtown area. And the rooms were the cleanest I have ever experienced EVER traveling. You can smell the cleanliness and feel it. I highly recommend coming here for your stay. They earned every star I gave them and many more! I love this place I will be coming here more often.

Overall the stay wasn’t horrible but could’ve been better for the price. The walls are very thin and you can hear the neighbors stomping around. And we were on the second floor.. goes to tell you how thin the walls are. There wasn’t really any amenities in the room besides a coffee maker and an ice bucket but couldn’t find the ice machine on the property. We paid for an ocean view and the blinds wouldn’t stay open for the “view” so that was disappointing. The bathroom was clean, the bed was stiff and had no fitted sheet. Strange, but it was clean with a loose sheet serving as the fitted sheet. It was a little pricey for what you got out of the experience.
