Second time staying here and while the staff is polite and had no issues the room “223” smelled pretty bad and the noise coming from the hallway was unbearable. The hotel itself is old but the problem isn’t the age it’s obviously struggling with it's business. The garage is closed off on one side what appears to be permanent. The pool and upper decks are closed off from any kind of access. And the overall state of the furnishings is terrible. Lamps falling apart literally leaning over. The bathrooms have hand towels and washcloths for bathing. The TV was working but immediately displayed the remote batteries were low and needed to be replaced. The hallways are also very smelly and so so noisy. The bed had fresh linens and while the bed last night had no comforter or quilt it was ok because the temperature outside wasn’t bad.

Decent option

Very convenient, walkable location to waterfront and to Broadway, Chinatown, and many amenities. Be prepared for loud noise as trains go right in front of the hotel on Embarcadero sounding their whistles the whole time. Perfectly clean, although not necessarily in the greatest state of repair. TV did not work. Great price.
