Great location. Some wear is normal but this has been neglected. Beware the design of the hotel makes for a lot of noise. The rooms all open to a tiled hall, every sound echoes from both floors. Staff was great, breakfast was adequate. The neighborhood is outstanding. Great nightlife, shops restaurants!

Liked: Cleanliness
We went here for a family trip… I chose this location because it’s good reviews and reasonable price however after visiting I would not book again. The parking is limited and on a first come first serve basis, which is not ideal at all as there is not much street parking. The room had a broken lock, missing fire alarm, and broken off the wall soap dispenser. The stairs up to our room had sticky material that wasn’t able to be cleaned off as i saw housekeeping daily yet the sticky material was there daily. The shower was clean however still felt dirty as it had dirt brown residue all over so we did not feel comfortable with the shower. The floor in the room was clean however same it looked to be dirty. Possibly it could just need renovations as it might be clean just very outdated and wear and tear felt dirty.

My room was spacious and clean. The bed was very comfortable. The location is excellent for being in the heart of the Marina District. I requested assistance with adjusting the temperature in my room and never received a response. I had a horrible experience with one of the front desk staff members. The breakfast area was very minimal and low quality items available, including poor coffee. I would never stay at this property again, nor would I recommend it to others.

My stay at SureStay by Best Western in San Francisco was overall a good experience. The only downside was the parking situation. There are limited parking spaces for the number of rooms, so if you come back late at night, you may have to look for parking around the block. Luckily, I found a spot in front of the building, but I noticed other guests had to find parking elsewhere. During the day, parking seemed much easier, so it’s just something to be mindful of. The continental breakfast and coffee were nice. They had a waffle machine downstairs, along with fruit, yogurt, cereal, and oatmeal options. Since it was cold during the weekend, I turned on the heater in the room and it worked perfectly. My room also had a microwave and a spacious fridge, which was very convenient. There was also a desk area that made it easy to get ready. Overall, it was a comfortable stay.

Basic, no frills hotel, could use a refresh all around. Would consider staying again due to location and price, but would check other options nearby first. Room is noisy and you can feel floor shake when people are walking, I was on top floor but I can imagine bottom floor would be much louder and not good for light sleepers. I slept w earplugs and was fine. Cleanliness and upkeep wasn’t great, but it is a budget stay in an older building, so I wasn’t expecting much. Shower curtain holder was falling off, which is a pain when trying to shower, towel holder was loose too, maintenance just seems to not be maintained. Lobby restroom should definitely be refreshed, it’s a little rough, and breakfast is served right outside the bathroom. The younger woman working the desk at checkout was lovely, very friendly and helpful.
