“Good budget hotel with great Wi-Fi”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 November 2011
2
people found this review helpful

This hotel has everything you can expect from a good budget hotel. I recommend this hotel unless you are traveling with small children.

The location is close to the city center. The area around the hotel is not good but as long as you stay away from Sixth Street you should be OK.

The rooms are decently clean with daily housekeeping.

Breakfast is just some sweets and coffee but there are other options nearby and a supermarket just across the street.

People in the reception are very helpful and the Wi-Fi is incredibly good.

There are some noise from a night club on the bottom floor but nothing too much.

The price during the stay was about $ 100 per night.

Room Tip: There are some noise from a night club on the bottom floor.

“I suggest spending $20 dollars more a night for a decent place.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 October 2011

This place is pretty yucky! On the website it says it's been recently renovated and I beg to defer, maybe it was renovated in 1988. There are stains on the curtains and headboards. The doors hardly close properly, the carpet is stinky and has stains and theres are a bar down below and you can hear everyone! Dont stay here, spend a little more and stay somewhere nicer.

“Surprised”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 September 2011

person found this review helpful

Thought this was going to be a disaster based off of previous reviews, but very surprised. Hotel is clean and quiet. Staff is friendly, easy check in and out, and valet parking($16)
This is not the Four Seasons, but in this price range its the best you will find in San Francisco.

“A good place to stay for discovering SF”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 September 2011

As mentionned in the previous review, the hotel is near the bart, tram & bus stations.
Beds were very conformtable. And the room was quiet despite thin walls (the hotel was not packed during our stay)
The breakfast "on the go" is pleasant (muffins, coffee and fruit juice)

“I would recommend it”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 August 2011
2
people found this review helpful

I would recommend this hotel in San Francisco.
It's near the muni and bart station (Civic center on Market Srteet). We used the bart to came and go to the airport and the tram to go basically everywhere. From the hotel to the station is around 10-15 minutes.
Room was clean and quiet. Staff always available.
Breakfast with muffins, coffe and juices. If you stay more than 2 days could end up being boring.
The area nearby is not frightening despite some weird people hanging out at night, but I only noticed that at our first arrival (at night) because we were not familiar with this aspect of life in San Francisco. But near the hotel there is a crowded and nice place for having a drink at night and an organic market with all kind of food we found good and very useful and open till late (maybe 9.30 pm?) .
