Old musty smell. Extremely small parking garage, could not fit our van inside so we had to park else where and ended up getting broken into. Desk personel were very nice, but overall did not make up for the poor conditions of the room at all.

It's an old building and it shows, but overall great value for the convenient location and access to transit options. Bedding and bathroom were clean, and that's all I really need for an overnight stay in SF.

The experience here was not what I expected at all… to begin, the description states there is self parking available, which there wasn’t. They only have ‘valet’ service, but you park your own car. We parked in a space where there was a single space, not two parking spaces (with one in front of the other), and we had our pick up truck. Perfect space to park it. Our car was moved to a different area of the garage and parked behind another vehicle. Moving our truck was unnecessary. The ‘valet’ service only keeps your car keys and charges you $60. You pick up your own car…. So we wanted our refund due to incorrect description of services but they ignored the calls and when I spoke to the lady at the front desk, she immediately cut me off and gave me attitude, speaking in a rude tone. As far as the room, it’s a basic room, nothing special about it. It did smell like cigarettes and the smoke detector was pulled off. The morning staff did not acknowledge us as we walked out and back in during our morning walk. No hello, no eye contact, no smile. They don’t communicate you have to pay for the ‘valet’ service during check out, and we went down and up and back down with our luggage to pay for the garage parking. Overall hospitality was a big negative and will not be returning to this hotel.

The best park is the hotel is walkable to many things, also if you fly in you can take the bart to the Pickwick the drop off and pick is a five minute train ride. My only complaint is that the property is really dated it needs a complete renovation!!
