    No communicaiton on the WiFi so we needed WiFi to find a good dinner spot and find a grocery store. But WiFi password was not provided. I had to email at 730pm and hope someone replied which they did half an hour when we had already gone out to find a place for dinner

    It was good accommodation, good location however no reception. It’s all done electronically to check in and check out. If no staff at front desk, perhaps they can leave more information for people staying ie: recommendations on food nearby as we got in around 730ish when it was getting dark and we were hungry however was dark and a little intimidating walking around for people never been here before. Make it a bit more personal if no staff to ask questions.

    A nice inn — even w/ no “inn keeper” presence. Phone communications, however, were prompt to tell us how to get in bldg door and room door. Our room (2nd fl, not facing street) was extremely quiet. Hot water/coffee plus fridge use was very nice.

    It would have been nice to have the option of a continental breakfast.

    We absolutely loved the location! Lots of great restaurants nearby and so close to everything a tourist wants to see. The hotel is beautifully kept and even though there are no staff (other than cleaning) on site, the response time for inquiries was good. We will be back.

    Carpet needs replacing. Never having a live person to talk to was a learning curve along with the keyless entry. A bit intimidating, especially when you aren't a smart phone 'pro'.

    Great location, our room was roomy with park and church views. Although there was no 'person' to chat with the communication when needed was pretty good, and we were able to store our luggage, both with our early arrival and when we checked out.

    No one available on reception. The open key app to open the room. Room Number 1 is on the ground floor next to the road so is quite noisy with people walking past and traffic. Also did not feel secure. The flow of water in the bathroom sink was poor.

    Great location near Washington square park in a cool area. Good size room and bathroom.

    A couple things- 1.) Pictures on the site makes room appear nicer than it actually is. The room and hotel itself felt dingy and it was obvious that they don’t have it in them to fix things up to feel nice. 2.)The lack of communication via this app about the fact that I couldn’t get clean towels after 3pm. 3.) The communication with the staff via text or the app was rude when I asked why they didn’t mention that in the lengthy text message they send to this app on booking and was told “not to trust 3rd party sites for accurate information”- when that’s how this stay was booked. I could have spent the same amount of money on a quality air bnb but booked this thinking it was clean and quaint when it felt gross.

    It was very clear we were paying for the location because the room itself left a lot to be desired.

    Comfortable older style hotel, but you need to have a working smart phone for room and hotel access.

    • Standard Queen Room

    The hotel is not manned. You need an active smart phone with the OpenKey App to get access to the hotel AND your room. If your mobile phone is not active/working with the number you used to book, you cannot get in. This problem occurred to several guests during our stay. There is no receptionist/concierge on site to assist or answer questions about the hotel or about local amenities

    The room was a good size, clean and well appointed. The location is excellent and close to buses, cable cars, and walking distance to Fisherman’s Wharf etc.

    Check in. Didn’t get sent the verification code for our room. This was a problem for other guests we spoke to. Needed to contact the emergency assistance after getting nowhere with the customer service team. Eventually spoke to someone who instructed us to get a key from a room in the lobby area, 3 hours after check in time, no late check out offered or anything else as a way of some compensation!! No staff are ever on reception.

    Great location. Lots of restaurants,bars,cafes nearby. Nice area within walking distance of pier 39 . Coits tower is around the corner. Hotel is fine, cheaper than the average, decent room.
