The location and value of this property are what make it the best. The location is in a great area, relatively safe (compared to many other options we were looking at), close to many districts, easy access to cable cars to travel other tourist locations. The value was great too. You get what you pay for. Nothing extravagant, but for two college kids, this was the absolute best place we could have picked. The room was clean and aesthetically pleasing. We didn't have a view which was a bummer, but the room was clean, stylish, and comfortable. The fact that they store luggage for only $2 a bag was convenient as well on both the date of our arrival and departure. Overall, would definitely stay again if returning to SF and will be recommending to friends!

I really enjoyed the O’Farrell street view from my windows. The style of the venue was a perfect vibe.

Arlene

It was very clean and right in the middle of the shopping district (near Mission/Market area). It was a short walk to really awesome stuff. It was great, and it was very homey. The rooms are not huge, but well worth that for a person or a couple. It’s right next to some major cable car stops as well, and close to rental cars/coffee/pharmacies. Also one of the hotels that had both WiFi and available cleaning services.

Even for the private rooms, there's a hostel feeling to the place. Everything is very simple, and the idea is that you're there to enjoy the city, not the hotel.

Rooms did not include hair dryer, irons, ironing boards, or washrags. The hotel does not keep an ironing board on site, but they do have an iron that you can borrow. The hotel has a text messaging service where you can ask for these things, but there are not enough staff to bring the items to you. Sometimes they responded that they would bring something, but they never did. When I borrowed a hair dryer from the front desk they asked me to bring it back when I was done with it. I needed it my entire three-day stay, so it was a little annoying to have to ask for it back each day. The rooms don't have heat. If they do, my furnace didn't work. Had to go downstairs to get an extra blanket, which was sufficient to keep me warm at night. I got a good deal through booking.com but some people told me they paid $600 per night for their room, which would be outrageous considering the lack of standard amenities and service.
Cute antique meets modern style. Brewery and restaurant nearby had cozy and fun atmosphere.

Only issue, the pole for the shower curtain was not set up and we had to wait for the front desk to bring a shower curtain. Other than that, no complaints. Also, floor in the room had a strange stickiness to it, but not a huge deal. We saw a lot of exterminators going in and out of the building, however we saw this happening at every hotel on the block so we weren't too concerned, we had no bug issues.

There was no iron in the room. If you need one, you have to go down to the reception and take it from there. Not a problem at all just would be convenient to have one in the room :)
Location of this hotel is very central. 2min walk to the Union Square. My room was a bit noisy but that is not a problem for me as I sleep well however can be a bit problematic for some people. Room as well as bathroom was very clean however, I had to kill a small cockroach walking on the wall. :) Most likely it came from outside - As I already said, My room and the bathroom was very clean. Anyway, I don't see any issue here. Can happen everywhere. :) I will definitely stay in this hotel when I visit SF again.

There were no guests allowed, which is definitely a safety feature (along with the key code outside doors) but it was a bit inconvenient considering I did have a friend a few blocks away at a different hotel.
It was very clean and right in the middle of the shopping district (near Mission/Market area). It was a short walk to really awesome stuff. It was great, and it was very homey.

The size of the room is not too spacious, but it is okay. The windows were facing an office-like building next door (no view or whatsoever), and almost all windows of the opposite side had AC. Since our room did not have any AC we had to keep the window open what was noisy.
The location was perfect. Close to almost everything and also to the underground and trains. The surroundings had all the shops and restaurants what people could need, but in the end, we just ate and drank on most occasions in the downstairs restaurant. The room was clean when we have arrived and had a good-sized bathroom as well.

Internet was not fast enough for business needs but ok for average tourist usage I guess. They also give you two key cards , one for room and one for the door.. bit complicated , no hairdryer in rooms!
Hotel looks dated from the outside, but the rooms are surprisingly nice and clean with very comfortable large beds and stylish decor. The fact that the elevator is slow and queeky and the shower pressure low in the 6th floor is part of the charm of an old building. If you don't like this then go to a modern hotel that looks the same in every city. The location so close to bars, restaurants , shops and to my customers is awesome. If you need a quite room, tell them to get a room with windows towards the courtyard. Very reasonable priced. For me it was a last minute booking but turned out to be a really positive surprise.
