The place was an absolute sh+t hole. We looked at the room took 15 pictures of all the things wrong and asked for our money back and drove away! I would not let me dog stay there. Also, there were feces in the parking lot which I accidentally stepped in! Told the manager and it was not cleaned up even by the time we left. Gross!!

Not up to code.

Disappointing to say the least. I’m not at all fussy with hotel rooms - in fact, I’m quite forgiving. The service: horrible. The manager who checked me in collected an $80 cash deposit and denied me it at checkout stating it was towards the room charge when I made the reservation. The rooms: 307 had holes in the walls by the sink, behind the two power outlets, damaged curtains, a mattress with nails sticking out from it immediately outside the door to room 307. The room had blood stains throughout the floor, the shower leaked a significant amount of water out the bathroom, and mold was growing on the skylight. The smoke alarm was disabled and torn off the wall (the Fire Marshall needs to give this place a walk through). Employees are violently throwing, smashing and destroying debris in the parking lot at all hours of the night with no consideration for guest quite hours, and there is hardly any parking when being taken up by employees dumpster. Also they just began charging $20 for daily parking. The room is gross and it’s not up to code. Stay away. Not safe for kids. Great if you like bugs.

Bad from beginning to end. When I showed up, none of the parking was available due to contractors being present and taking up half the spaces with vehicles and materials. My room did not have towels when I arrived, and I was only given 1 bar of soap. The microwave did not have a glass plate, so things put in the microwave would not rotate and cook properly. The faucet was scalding hot, except for one spot where you barely got a trickle of room temperature water. Due to the contractors being present there were materials scattered around the place and in the parking lot. The work was also extremely noisy and made sleeping in or napping very difficult. The door to my room latched flimsily and felt insecure. The room did not have a deadbolt lock to use on the inside. The bedsheets are poor. The comforter has a sheet on top and bottom due to the fact that it's covered in little burn holes. The list goes on.

This a motel. If you're looking for a luxury hotel experience, you will be disappointed. Compared to other motels, this is a nice place to stay especially if the location is convenient for your plans. It's in SoMa which is not so much centrally located but more like "adjacent." I find the in-room refrigerator and microwave to be very useful. At this time (mid-2025), rooms are being renovated and rooms are rented that are "in progress." They are suitable for use but unfinished. That said, the renovated sections are very attractive. While there's a very nice wall-mounted television, personally I don't fully understand how it works. It's not cable/satellite but (I think) Roku. Even so, I can always find something interesting to watch. Staff seems friendly and helpful. They even had the form you have to sign at check-in printed prior to my arrival. It might only save a minute or two but it's a nice touch.

STAY AWAY

Stayed here over the weekend for a family graduation. NEVER AGAIN. Bed bugs, sketchy area, bad parking, and so much more. The people next to us kept loud music going until 1am, and there's people waiting near the doors to follow you into the hotel since they don't have keys. On our last night, the manager was robbed at gunpoint for keys to the rooms. Don't stay here if you value your safety!

Newly Renovated Rooms =)

Rooms are in the process of being renovated. I stay in one of the more updated rooms. Upgraded Large Samsung Smart TV, Renovated lighting and outlets/smartplugs, upgraded bathroom w/large walk in shower. Room was exceptionally cleaned. Location is in a great part of SOMA. Rates are usually priced decently, I recommend this property.
