Liked: Cleanliness
The room was clean, the staff was friendly and professional. My only big issue is that there is no A/C or fan in the room (fan would be fine for SF) - and the old heater/furnace is REALLY noisy (you can't really turn it off) - it woke me up a lot at night. Other than that everything was fine and I will most likely stay here again.

I really don’t have high expectations for hotel rooms. I just need a place to lay my head down and sleep. Unfortunately, this was not the place for that. These rooms use an old time radiator for their heating system and it bangs all night. Whether it’s on or off, it is making an absurd amount of noise. Barely got any sleep on a night when I could have used it. In addition, there are other inconveniences, including a toilet that does not flush entirely, a hotel phone at his nonfunctional, and only one outlet in the entire room. Overall you can tell there is no attentive care given to the room. I just hope they care enough to clean it well but doubt that is the case based on my experience.

Disliked: Amenities
The room was fine for the price and the age of the building. It's not in the nicest location, but we just avoided walking through Tenderloin and we were able to avoid a lot of the homeless in the area. The towels are very thin, the toiletries are cheap and the bathroom was a bit mouldy. Staff weren't overly friendly - I went to request an extra towel (we booked for 3 people but were only given 2 towels), an extra blanket and to see if they had a bath plug available. The receptionist was rude and made me feel like I was requesting too much. However, we were provided with the extra towel and blanket. I will pay extra money to stay somewhere else next time I visit the city.

The hotel is cheap and old, the fixtures and fittings have all seen better days. The staff seemed to be helpful, but on the first morning I complained that the hot water in the shower was too hot - the cold wasn't working. Plus the TV wasn't working, I was told it would be fixed, I left today still not working. I didn't really trust that the room was that clean, as it was hard to tell with the marks left from previous visitors. Plus the room smelt, it was supposedly non-smoking, but there was a definite odor - I had the window open the whole 5 five days and it seemed to get better, but I just think it was old and the smell was in the carpets/curtains etc. I probably wouldn't stay again.

Hotel is dated older building as you would expect - great value, very clean, friendly staff - also a great location yet as u will find San Fran is still dealing with a serious homeless issue. It’s unnerving but manageable walking even at night. The homeless largely leave you alone, yet it is sad to see. And good to be aware.

Room is more outdated- smell is musty and we had to open the windows to air out the room, bathroom is dirty, shower didn’t have cold water only hot water. TV and TV remote was not working right, only powered on and off. Room keys kept repeatedly not working and kept asking staff at the front desk to reactivate it to unlock the door to the room. Staff was nice and friendly however and helped promptly.

There seems to be an issue with the plumbing. When I was using the tub, I turned on the hot water first, then when I turn on the cold, the water started coming out brown. Just note to check plumbing at some point. Might have been my room, but best to look into it.
