I like that the facility is near to most of city’s attractions, and staffs are friendly. And breakfast is also included. The only thing we did not like is that there’s no available elevator and the rooms are all upstairs. And since our rooms were on the second floor so we have to climb 2 flights of stairs, which was so hard for my 84 yr old mother and my husband who has a knee problem. Parking is also very limited .

Pictures are deceiving- not clean or comfortable

I think anyone booking here needs to be aware of the filth and condition of rooms. Though online photos make it seem pretty standard, fine for a comfortable stay - this place was far from that. We walked in to black fingerprints and marks all over our inner bedroom door as well as bathroom door. In addition the bathroom door and walls had severe water damage. When I opened the shower curtain I found black mold in the shower and the shower floor looked to have never been cleaned, completely black again. I was very that have some purell sanitizing wipes. The bed was stiff as a board when we checked for quality and ultimately we didn't find this suitable to stay. The parking is also to be noted. No where in description does it say parking is Limited until after you book. It's first come first serve and if you've been looking around you know SF parking is $$$. So please be aware you may not get "free parking". Overall, I just can't recommend this to anyone and we're working with customer care to get a resolve to this bad experience.

Location was great - close to shops and dining a block away. Great access to transportation. Walkable to Ghiradelli Square. Lovely park nearby. Very basic walk up hotel with central stairwell. Dated but clean. Basic breakfast but enough for what we needed. Best Wesern chain so delivered the basics we expected. Good value for money.

Lo bueno: Lugar viejo pero en buenas condiciones, cama cómoda y en general buena limpieza. Lo malo: es muy ruidoso y todo se escucha, en la reserva mencionan que el estacionamiento es gratuito pero en cuanto llegamos nos cobraron 25 usd la noche por dejarnos estacionar y la ultima noche otro huésped estacionó mal su auto por lo no pudimos estacionar el nuestro, la solución que nos dieron fue que les dejáramos nuestras llaves del auto y que lo estacionáramos en el “pasillo”, grave error porque le dieron un golpe y no nos avisaron, una lástima que los empleados dañen así la imagen del hotel, no regresaría jamás a hospedarme de nuevo.

This property had no elevator and I was in crutches, but staff was very helpful in helping me with my luggage and bringing to my room. Only complaint, ice machine on 2nd floor, and when asked for late check out, only 30 min more. Other than that, great area and really nice and helpful workers.

The quality of the room did not reflect the listing. No parking available upon arrival. Large groups of loud guests coming in and out of many rooms. Ended up immediately booking a different hotel.
