Cozy neighborhood boutique room with great location. No amenities outside the room. Feels more like a bed and breakfast. Room was very comfortable I would recommend for a short stay.

7.4/10 Good! (1,001 reviews)
Please avoid this hotel. It is the worst hotel I had ever been. So dirty with bed bugs. Mattress and pillows are not comfortable. There is only two thin sheets one to cover the mattress and the other is so smelly as if it was never washed. You can tell how dirty it is as soon as you enter seeing the dirty carpet and the terrible smell. I tried to find a hotel in SF after a work trip and this hotel was the only one I found. The noise from the street is unbearable. Homeless fighting, theatre staff moving stuff until early morning. I don’t think this hotel should be in Expedia.

"This was a very nice hotel however, the location is not ideal for somebody who does not know the Bay Area like me. We booked here because we thought it’d be close to everything and it is not as close as we thought. It’s like a 20 minute drive for everything and on top of that it is what is considered ..."
