The Whole place is Fully Remodeled!!!
I have stayed here once before last year- and it was decent, but i just went back and they totally redid the place, my room had a king size bed, all the cable channels, and a fridge. all new carpet and furniture, high speed internet, and fresh coffee, they did a good job redoing this place- im bringing my family next time for our summer trip to San Francisco.

Everything was good, except for the internet access
I stayed in this Hotel for the 3-day bar exam because I could not book the closest one. I took taxi to test center everyday, but finally on the third day I found out a shortcut only about 15 miniutes walk. So I will recommend it for bar exam takers. Everything in the hotel was good, except for the wireless internet access--you have to go to the lobby to get access, very annoying.

Unbelievably Bad
The room we stayed in was filthy. The carpet was torn and stunk. The shower was yellowed plastic and about 40 years old. (We couldn’t stand to use it.) The tile in the bathroom was cracked in most places and the wall was broken next to the fixtures. It smelled bad. The faucet would not flow into the sink. It flowed on the countertop and down onto the floor. The bedstands had BAD grafitti written all over the inside of the drawers. No telephone book. The pillows were years old and flat as a pancake. I have never even overseas been in a worse hotel. I should have tried to get my money back. Whatever you do don’t go here. The clerk had to stand on a chair and get up in the back of a cupboard and break open a bunch of keys. I don’t know when it had last been used.

The worst hotel I have even been in in 40 years.
