We stayed here unfortunately for 2 nights. If we hadnt paid in advance would of left and found elsewhere. Was dirty over the entire property and our "Continental Breakfast" included was cold coffee and dried up croissants. The Hosts were unfriendly and couldnt understand english very well. More

I arrived there late and didn't read the receipt until I got home and they had charged me two extra days I hadn't stayed there. When I called the lady was rude and wouldn't refund the money. Not to mention I could hardly understand her and she used profanity. Why would I want to stay there for more than one... More

My husband and I stayed here for 2 night mid-December 2011. I read the reviews and decided to take my chances - why well 1) price 2) location 3) it doesn't show up on the bed bug registry (that probably should be #1). The room was fine, clean and well taken care of. No it's not a resort but then... More

As I write this I am sitting on the most uncomfortable bed. My head is pounding from the lack of sleep my husband and I got last night. Springs from the mattress were poking me all night, pillows were as hard as rocks and there is the most annoying knocking sound coming from inside the walls. All night! We are... More

I stayed here before, am there now, and would stay again. I read the other negative reviews, but don't let them discourage you. San Francisco is an EXPENSIVE place for lodgings, running about twice the price that you'd pay in some other American tourist destinations, for comparable lodgings, even in California. The outside looks shabby, but the rooms are OK... More

I would have to say that the property has not been cleaned in years. Disgustingly dirty inside and out. You can be old and still be nice. Piles of old carpet and garbage, rooms smell aweful, threw the blankets in the corner the room smelled like pee. The internet didn't work, iron broke and did i say the room smelled... More

The room needed updating: it was dark and miserable but it was clean. Advantages: microwave and freezer as well as the usual hairdryer, iron and ironing board. It is very conveniently located, easy to find in the car and the free parking was a bonus for us as well. It's easy walking distance to lots of quieter places with restaurants... More

I think this must be the worst hotel room I've had. The room was dirty. The bathroom reeked of urine and there were drips of it around the toilet. There were little hairs all over the toilet, sink, shower, and bed area. Nothing in the room had actually been wiped down or cleaned - the linens were changed and that's... More
