“Clean enough but really needs an update”

Not a "bad" hotel but really not that nice either. It was as clean as it could be but the furniture was shabby, the pillows tired and the whole place in need of a serious update.

“Wouldn't recommend anyone”

The shower didn't work before my husband needed to go for a Job Interview. We tried to make it work, never happened. The rooms are nice but for people who are from small or quite towns don't recommend at all. Too noisy the streets, the hotel have just 3 floors, I would say that is why.

“Good...did the job...nothing fancy...clean.”

Owner not very nice or appreciative. I think it was cultural. For the money, location and general order I would stay there again. Go elsewhere if you are looking for romance or ambiance. Otherwise great value.

“Just ok!”

Nice safe area, but not that close to the hot spots! Clean for a pretty old hotel. Needs a coat of paint, new cover sheets, and a pillow top. Small room, but I think that is typical of the city area. Overall, paid for a B- and got a C+! Could have been worse!

If your young <30 stay in the Marine area. If >30 stay in the heart of Fisherman's Warth.

“Convenient location. Hotel was ok”

Even though free breakfast was less than expected and the parking lot was full, the hotel was well located and service was good. It's a good option, specially now that SF is very full of tourists

“jetlagged”

Furniture is pretty dated. The rooms look like they're from the 1970s. It smells like an old ladies basement. Pretty noisy. Beds are creaky, light in the bathroom takes a long time to warm up. Located approximately 20 to 30 minutes from the action.

“A Great Place”

Needs of Breakfast area. Unfortunately I don't think there is any other way to do it, so they are doing there best.
