When I first arrived the staff gave me my room card and no other information on what level my room is, when I asked the receptionist he gave me a terrible attitude for asking, the heater in the room would not shut off completely, and when checking in, at first the receptionist wasn’t not going to allow me to due to not wanting to pay a $100 deposit, when my stay was already paid for, he had to bring another staff member to void the deposit.

Historical Hotel a great bargain!

When we arrived, the most stressful part was trying to figure out where to park. The hotel offers parking for $30/day but unless you know where to go its a little confusing because you have to drive around the block, pull up to gate and wait for them to buzz you in. The hotel was really cool although a bit dated. At over 100 yrs old it was neat to see the craftmanship that went into building it. The staff was very friendly and we enjoyed our stay. For the price it was a great bargain! My only complaint was I had to shove a washcloth in drain to take a bath. Its located in the heart of SF so be prepared to see things you may not be used to. We never felt unsafe and enjoyed walking around the city.

We had to ask for full size towels and when we received them, they were covered in stains. Makeup stains and something that looked to be a urine stain. Every single towel had significant stains on them. The desk chair also had deep dark stains about the entire seat. Underneath the comforter there were several strans of hair. There were also dirty socks on the floor at the edge of the bed that were there before we checked in. Lastly, the room smelt atrocious. Like a mixture of mold and chemicals. I have photos of everything listed above but unfortunately there isn't an option to attach them. Only good thing about the place is the parking and the staff.

Bathroom sink was full of water when turned on, it took a long time to pop down. The room was cold at night as the window was barely closed, didn't have coffee or tea, also not had a small refridge. Also, the first room I pulled into had a dirty bathroom then they gave another room yet the sink was full of water.

I would definitely stay here again. It’s located on a busy street. It’s a short walk from the Embarcadero BART station if you’re planning to walk or be out on the street be prepared to encounter the homeless.
