The parking worked out well given the busy area, but the lady working the front desk during check-in wasn't the friendliest and didn't have a name tag on which surprised me. The check-out aspect with the manager was much nicer and wish I had that service when I first came in.

It was easy to check in and the room was dated but clean and fine. My biggest complaint is that this is not a bargain hotel but they don’t straighten up the room for you. I am fine if for conservation purposes they don’t change sheets or towels when you are only there for a couple of days, but someone should make up the room each day.

We asked to change to an interior room because the hotel is at the very busy and somewhat noisy intersection of Fillmore and Lombard. Staff was very accomodating and consequently we hardly heard anything. It was easy to get public transport, and the hotel is reasonably priced. The free parking is a huge bonus, saving us $30-70 a day. Many good places to eat in walkable distances. The Marina District is nice and we walked many places at night with no worries about bums or crime. Easy to get to Hardly Strictly Bluegrass from here, either by bus or car.
