I'm suspecting this place used to be a boarding house at one time. One shared bathroom for the whole floor. Three shared showers. There was paint chipping around the vanity mirror in room. All the bedding, while clean, had some sort of stain on it. The night club next door is noisy until 2am most nights. The ventilation system has some sort of mold issue as I contacted a chest cold that would clear up when i left for the day. In the last day, at around 6am, somebody went around and sprayed a fire extinguisher on both floors causing the fire alarms to go off and alert the fire department. Don't stay here.

Great location (the reason why I booked here) but the property is run down and dirty. The first room they put me in hadn’t been cleaned yet and smelled like an all night party just ended (sex and weed) One toilet per floor and three individual shower rooms (at least on the second floor) super awkward and inconvenient.

This is a boarding house with long term tenants who have mental health issues, drug problems and the like. It is not suitable for holiday accommodation. I am shocked that Expedia lists it on their site. Surely they have a duty of care to their customers. Given that this property is in SF it wouldn’t be hard for Expedia to inspect the site. I am now rethinking use of this site after this experience. People screaming at each other throughout the night. A tennant locked in the only share toilet for hours on end, the smell of dog poo and the stench of pot throughout the property were just a few of the highlights. Shame on you Expedia.

Only Good for Clubbing
The Inn at Folsom sits on top F8 nightclub. The music and talking is so loud that we could not stay to sleep. Bathrooms are not in the rooms. They are down the hall. We checked out 30 minutes after arrival. They refused to refund our money.

When we arrived we had trouble locating it, it was hidden, with a crowd of people hanging close by. We had to walk through a cloud of Marijuana smoke to get to the door. The room was dirty. We knew the bathroom was shared but we weren't expecting the shower down the hall to not have anywhere to set our clothing. Campground showers are better. The toilet was strictly a toilet. To wash my hands i had to go all the way back to my room. In our room we could hear everything. The night club below us booming all night. The people down the hall arguing. The hotel advertised continental breakfast, no such thing, in fact where the continental breakfast must have been at one time, there was a sign that said if it's not your food, don't touch it. The couch in there was ripped to shreds. We only stayed the first night out of the 4 we booked. We didn't feel safe or clean being there. We waited at the desk to tell them we were leaving, no one came to the front desk, so we left our keys in the room and left.

Blood and mold stains
We checked in and saw our room and it was dirty . There was blood splatters on the sheets , the walls where filthy and stained . And all around the sink was black mold. We have stayed here many time before the pandemic years ago with no issues . We where in the room for only a few minutes then decided to just leave to another hotel unfortunately. This place has great potential if it was kept up.

hotel stay
It was okay overall. Family and I were expecting to have a bathroom in our room, similar to a regular hotel; but we had to share bathrooms with people near us. bed was comfy, room was tidy, but the television did not work. since it’s san francisco, i feel kirk the smaller room size is understandable.
