Cheap, cheerful, fine for a budget traveler

Staff is great, room is cheap (budget) condition carpet and paint and quite dated, and a bit noisy. However for a cheap safe place to stay in S.F. it is fine. It is not a honeymoon destination by any stretch. But fine for a business traveler or student on a tight budget.

So terrible

My stay was so bad. Their service was terrible, they knocked my door twice in the morning and brought something I never requested. The iron was completely broken and missing a piece. The shower was nasty and dirty. The water in the was running weirdly, I couldn’t close the bottom to have strong flow on top. The drain of shower was completely plugged up, each time water was staying there to my shin. I am so disappointed and want compensation for my terrible stay.

The hotel was cute, clean, and a good value for SF. Front desk staff were friendly though a little low on clean towels. My main complaint was the breakfast tickets I paid for in advance. The restaurant next door is a separate business and clearly a little irritated by customers with these tickets and the service showed that compared to other guests despite tipping well. I’d encourage the hotel to reconsider this partnership if the restaurant staff are unhappy about honoring the coupon they agreed to. The breakfast was delicious but it might be a better value to just pay as a regular customer.
