    Good solo , bare minimum; affordable. Beware the noise, if you’re a light sleeper or you sleep early

  • Engine customer Oct 2026

    Reviews on Hotels.com sounded great but wish I would have looked at other review websites sooner. Affordable but at the cost of your comfort and privacy. Shared toilet space/shower space in the hallway. No parking nearby and a ton of stairs to walk up upon arrival. Unclear check in instructions. Weird vibe all around. Checked out after 20 mins. Staff was kind and understanding.

    Lugar muy sencillo, ruidoso por la noche, los alrededores de noche muy silencioso de día estás a metros del centro financiero, da un poco de cosa por la noche, para personas solas o parejas pero no para familias.

    Great

    The entrance was a little confusing because the listing photo made the bar look like the hotel entrance. I went into the bar to ask about check-in, and a staff member directed me to the entrance right next door. The property could use better maintenance. As soon as I entered, I noticed a strong smell from the old carpets, which looked worn and did not seem well cleaned. However, my room was clean and had enough amenities for a short stay, including a sink in the corner. The property also has a strict no-smoking policy. When I visit San Francisco, I usually spend most of my time outside and mainly use the hotel to sleep. For that kind of trip, this was an affordable option by San Francisco standards, although the condition of the common areas could be improved.

    RUN! That’s all I can say. We checked in late upon arrival in San Francisco and checked out at 6am to stay at another hotel. Dirty and scary

    Close to Oracle Park. Stayed there for a short time and stayed only to rest and sleep. It was really convenient. Staff were friendly.

    Filthy common areas. Rugs in hallways are dirty and stained. The restrooms were ok but shower curtain had orange mildew. No soap in dispenser, and no paper towels. The bathroom ran out of toilet paper a couple of times and the front desk seemed an anoyed that I asked for some to take and replace myself. Room was clean but had no place to hang clothes and no place to put them outside of suitcase. Had to remake the bed so sheets would stay tucked. The comforter was very dirty so was covered with an extra sheet Pillows were lumpy and uncomfortable. Poor lighting in room. Noisey club and live music late into the night. Neighbrhood is safe enough and convenient to grocery and to public transit. Filthy and trash under freeway sidewalks! The price is the only redeeming factor.

    This place is decent for solo travelers looking for a cheaper place to stay while in SF. I basically just needed a place to sleep since I was out exploring for the day, so this worked well for me. The bathroom and bathtub were kept pretty clean, much better than other inns I have stayed at. If you just need a place to sleep and don’t mind sharing bathrooms, then this is a good option.

  • Engine customer Sep 2026

    I didn't have hot water in my room, and my TV did not work at all.

  • Engine customer Sep 2026

    It’s was whatever

  • Engine customer Sep 2026

    It’s close to everything in downtown SF! I stay here every time I come to SF.

  • Engine customer Sep 2026

    The place is dirty overal, the bed and bathroom was clean but the carpets, walls and the one chair in the room were very dirty. Cheap price but a bit nasty. The lights in my room did not work and I had to request a new room. The walls are thin and the bar band downstairs quite loud.

  • Engine customer Sep 2026

    Tub leaked water.

  • Engine customer Sep 2026

    Sure is a whole in the wall. Wasn’t expecting to share bathrooms. But. I guess it was good.

  • Engine customer Sep 2026

    Horrible dont stay here

  • Engine customer Sep 2026

    It was okay for the price I paid, but I had to park down the block in a paid parking lot. Room was clean enough, but there was loud music from the bars downstairs and Nextdoor, so I did not get any rest. The windows are old, so not sealed properly which also let the noise in. The stairs up to check in and halfway smelled like urine. The bathroom situation was a little different as well. Yes, you share the restroom with your floor, but there is only one toilet in one room and the shower and sink are in the room Nextdoor, so you can’t wash your hands right after you use the bathroom. You do have a sink in your room, but I prefer to wash my hands before I exit the restroom and start touching door handles. The bed was okay, sheets were clean, floor was clean, and tv worked, lights worked, door locked. The man who checked me in was kind. I did find a closer parking garage next to the hotel AFTER I parked down the block at $30 flat fee. Kind of bummed about that. I didn’t like having to walk that far with all of my bags and I really didn’t like having meth cloud blown in my face by the druggies on the street, but it is the city. Hotel was okay though.

    Good location, nice staff, clean room and toilets.

  • Engine customer Sep 2026

    Rooms have a bed and maybe a desk in one chair kinda looks and feels like a prison. The gentleman behind the counter is actually very nice, but the entirety of the building could use some love.

  • Engine customer Sep 2026

    This was a HORRIBLE experience!!!! I didn’t even stay there.
