Bed was comfortable. Sharing facilities was up kept & clean. Showers were neat.

Cynthia

United States of America

The room was clean, the bed was comfy, the staff was friendly, and the location was great for the price. In all, I was pleasantly surprised for a 2 star hotel that was 1/3 of the price of other hotels around downtown SF. No one unpleasant, no wait for bathrooms (during my one night stay) and nothing gross.

Andrew

United States of America

This is a very clean and well maintained hotel in a pleasant part of San Francisco's downtown area. The reception staff were efficient. By American standards the price was OK. The shared facilities were adequate and well maintained.

Excellent location and very helpful staff. Quiet hotel.

Very clean and bright, quiet and comfortable. The location is awesome and this was a great value if you’re not spending a lot of time in your room but want a place to stay in the heart of the city.

Dana

United States of America

I loved this place. Just what I needed. Simple, clean, all you need really without the high end expense. Staff friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend it and definitely go there again next time in S.

It’s very clean and quiet, the staff are all very friendly and accommodating. It’s a very easy booking and the place has an excellent location.

Priscilla

Loved it! Felt super safe and comfortable my entire trip. Would book again for a stay in a heart beat!

Samantha

The bed was pretty tired but the rest of the house is clean and kept up well. Will never like a room with bathroom down the hall but it was much preferable to staying out of town and commuting in.

I stayed in 2 different rooms, one of them was a little noise but nothing serious.
It was my first time in San Francisco and I didn't know anything about the best areas to stay. I was impress with all, the rooms, the share bathrooms and the GREAT location. Big surprise for me :)

The room was incredibly cramped and next to the shared bathroom after i asked for a quiet room. Heard the showers and people all night. Photos showed a bigger room when booked. Expensive for the price listed.
Clean. shampoo and conditioner and soap in bathroom that was also clean

Vending machines in the shared area were basically empty. Room service once a week was a bit underwhelming. Expensive for what it is but it is San Fran so what are you gonna do.
I was in a single room with shared bathroom. Sink in the room which was handy. The shared bath and toilets were always clean and I had no issue with availability. Handy location and it felt safe.

The rooms had thin walls, and I could even hear a person presumably in the room next to mine yawning! I didn’t sleep as well because of the noise.
