Hotel room was clean and staff was kind and helpful. I would consider staying again as the surrounding area was convenient. There were nearby grocery stores and many restaurants. I traveled for the SF marathon so the location was perfect for the trip.

When we got to the property to check in, they informed us that there was no hot water in the building and that they didn’t know when it would be turned on. They said I could take a few moments and decide if we wanted to keep reservation or get a full refund. I decided to check out the room and quickly decided we would not be staying there. Dirty windows and sills and floors. After I let the front desk manager know that we would not be staying, she assured me it would be easy for Expedia to refund the stay due to the hotels lack of hot water, being the main issue. It was not easy to get the refund and a stressful process especially since I’m 8.5 months pregnant. It inconvenienced us majorly and on top of everything we had to find another hotel last minute. I’m not really impressed with Expedia or the staff at the hotel.

The location was perfect. There is a Target and a park nearby. Stops for the bus, tram and trolley were close as well. Unfortunately, the hot water was not working nor was not communicated to guests in a timely manner. I called the front desk at 11pm to inquire about it and left the hotel by 7:30am the next day. A letter was distributed at later in day, but we didn't get back to the hotel until much later to find this out and were too exhausted to find other accommodations. This was night 2 of our stay. Except for this, the stay was good. The staff was very accomodating. The hotel is older; therefore, there are some cosmetic issues. However, our room was cleaned early each day. On the last day, our flight was late in the evening, and the hotel allowed us to leave our four bags until we came back before our flight. Also, we bought our hotel/flight to include breakfast through the hotel. It was a nice way to start our day with a sit down breakfast that was located at a restaurant next door. Coffee or juice was included, and we only left a tip each day. Overall, a good experience especially for the price.

Secured parking. The pictures from the hotel's website looks very different than the actual hotel. The building is old and everything inside is outdated. Needs remodeling.

As soon as I entered the room, it was clear it had not been properly cleaned—dirty linens, towels, tub, and carpets. The overall condition was unacceptable and unsanitary. I reported this immediately, but the staff was unhelpful, unfriendly, and refused to issue a refund. They offered to clean the room instead, so I gave them the opportunity while I attended an event. However, upon returning, nothing had been addressed—the room was still in the same filthy condition. At that point, I requested to cancel due to the health concerns and overall discomfort. This entire situation was incredibly inconvenient, especially while traveling with my kids. I had to scramble to find another hotel last minute, which ended up being an hour outside the city, forcing us to drive in the early morning hours past. To make matters worse, no manager was available at the time, and I was told I’d have to wait until Sunday to speak with someone regarding a refund. The lack of accountability and support made an already stressful situation even worse.

Great location, no frills

Great location - one block from the Powell Street station, both the modern station and the historical cable car line, which I highly recommend taking to Fisherman's Wharf. Our primary purpose was to go to Oracle Park. This is a no frills and older boutique hotel, but it was a comfortable place to sleep.
