A real bargain in the off season ($75 USD/night). It is very bare bones, bathroom/shower down the hall, no room service and a small basic room but the bed was comfortable and it was quiet, and you can't beat the location...

Room very small and we end up booked the room which has bathroom and restrooms in the hallway. No refrigerator or microwave in the room. Bathroom doesn’t have towels to wipe your feet after shower. There is mold in the bathroom and doesn’t seem like Housekeeping has came to clean during our three days stay. You have to go check in at the hotel to get your keys. We have no idea until our friend told us before we arrived. Location is very good just right downtown of San Francisco. Convenient for us to find transportation and food.

Little bit loud and hot but overall I'd stay again

Well the hotel was pretty cute. Very historic and i really liked how big the room was. There was no air conditioning which was kinda tough. It got hot in that room. If it was mid summer i wouldn't of made it in there. Theres no staff at the actual hotel. Check in is across the street. Its in the tenderloin district and very very loud at night. So if youre a soft sleeper i wouldnt stay here. Theres a walgreens and starbucks next store. Easy to walk to everything. Overall it wasnt fancy at all but i really enjoyed it and it was great for the price.

It was exactly what we were looking for on our stay in San Francisco. Easy public transit to all the destinations we were interested in as well as good walking distance to shopping, dining and attractions.
