Lovely, helpful staff who went out of their way to ensure I had a good stay on my one night layover in San Francisco. My room was lovely and quiet and the only issue I had was that it was very cold as no one had placed the room heater in the room. But otherwise all was great and the staff kindly stored my bag for the day before I returned to the airport. Thank you!

JPM limits options

I decided to prioritize being walking distance to my meetings over a nice hotel and it was JPM week so everything was crazy expensive. However, I’ve stayed in similar older smaller hotels off Union Square before and this was worse for similar priced options. Floor covered in dust bunnies, radiator heat didn’t work first 36 hrs, bed very uncomfortable. I have to give props to team though - 24/7 locked & manned door and most staff quite friendly and helpful. Elevator was functional.

As-expected and good budget option

Room was as-expected. Just the basics with no frills, but looked like the photos and everything in the room was clean. The hallways and stairwells are definitely outdated and have a unique smell, but for a low-cost room in this area, it was sufficient. The staff are incredibly friendly and supportive.

Stayed for one night on NYE. Very convenient location near the MUNI station at Union Square. The area was a little bit suspect but overall a great one night stay.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The place was absolutely fantastic. The price was phenomenal, and what you get was more than what you paid for. The room was bare bones but it was structured so well, it's magnificent. I love the quirky sink in the room. It's so San Francisco. The hotel is also so conveniently located, it is hard to find any faults. An easy 8 minute walk to the BART. There are so many food options nearby and union square is a stone throwsaway. However, what really makes this place shine is the staff. Oh my gosh, I had a great time talking and shooting the breeze with Julia and Ronnie. They were such sweethearts, they always make me feel welcomed whenever I come back from romping around the city. I will be staying here as often as I can, whenever I return to this beautiful city! I highly recommend you check this hotel as well!

We felt very welcome and taken care off (we were allowed to check-in early). Everybody is so friendly. We liked the location. No car needed, we walked to the famous spots we had on our list and took public transport (a bus station is nearby). Our room was basic and clean.The attached retro Diner was a plus. Coffee maker was available on request. Great value.
