*8.3* Asian Art Museum: only 6 minutes away! (1,500 feet by foot)

At least the location itself was central to what I wanted to do.

This place exceeded expectations by quite a lot, the reviews are super harsh for one of the cheapest places you can stay in San Francisco, obviously the tenderloin has it's issues but this place was great. Great hot shower with decent water pressure, clean rooms and big windows. While there is rampant drug use and homelessness in the tenderloin, it's actually pretty safe, no one bothered us on the streets and there is amazing Thai and Vietnamese food everywhere. Lee's Bahn Mi is right next door and has the most delicious Vietnamese sandwiches. The beds were comfy, everything was super clean, we had a fridge and a microwave in the room and Sam was really nice upon greeting us. If you're afraid of poor people, addicts or homeless people you should stay somewhere outside of the Tenderloin, but if you're not, this place is a great affordable place to stay.

The room is tiny and the double bed is really small. The room has no AC and is dirty, especially the toilet and the windows. The area is very central but the footpaths around the hotel stink of urine. The hotel is definitely overpriced.
The hotel is located in the center of the city.

Too many homeless people outside it is scary to even walk in. If I knew this was more like a HOSTEL I would not have booked this place. The pictures are much prettier than what the place is. I had to go to Garget and buy my own bed sheets because there was no way I was laying my head on the ones hey provided. They had an unpleasant look and a horrible smell. The bathrooms are shared. Dorm room style. They were at least a little clean. The air was muggy. The place seemed old. The room was aged.
At least the location itself was central to what I wanted to do.
