Everything is horrible, ugly and unsecured. This is way worse than the description mentioned in the site. I am wondering why at all Expedia lists such horrendous properties in its site. To be honest I never had stayed in such a place not even seen before. No basic amenities and no attention. Highly risky stay. Cursing myself for choosing such a deceptive place.

The photos of the Riviera Hotel didn’t match the room I was given. In fact I was assigned a dorm room (for $76), which wasn’t I purchased. I will pursue this with Expedia.

Do not stay here unless you have no other choice. One of the worst experiences from all the hotel stays in 2025. Probably better camping outside or in your car then staying here.

It’s in the tenderloin of sf so prepare for that. The rooms are cold and make sure to ask for a towel. For the cost maybe worth it but wow that neighborhood is beyond noisy.

Walking to and from this place even during broad daylight is frightening. Lots of druggies. Room was small. Shared bathroom. No heat. Extremely loud. The manager was conveniently never there. The absolute worst stay in my entire life. Zero stars.

This property is not a true hotel and was in unacceptable and unsafe condition. The room we were shown was extremely dirty—there was dog hair throughout the space, dog food on the floor, and visible stains on the bed. The bathroom had no door, and the toilet did not function. Additionally, the overall building and surrounding area were unsafe. We were harassed by individuals outside, and there was a ton human feces on the sidewalk directly in front of the entrance. Given these conditions, we did not stay at the property. Instead, we stayed with a friend in Oakland that night and booked an actual hotel for the following night.
