Location, location, location It is a “bed for one night hotel” with basic comfort and not expensive. Shared bathroom and restrooms us OK. Clearness is OK. But you will hear all your neighbours around teo floors and the street. Do not recommend if you have a troubles with sleep. It is good for the short staying in a good location.

The hotel was very nice. The checkin process is a bit tedious since you have to go across the street and check in at a different hotel. But it’s literally just across the street. You can see it from the entrance to the hotel. The staff was very nice. We didn’t have a tv remote in the room originally but they were very accommodating when we told them and sent someone right away. I’m also not even sure if there were other people on our floor because we never ran into anybody or heard anybody. But it meant we got the bathroom to ourselves.

I was a little wary having read other reviews so booked the deluxe queen to avoid sharing a bathroom with others. It did not disappoint. The room was comfortable and clean, the fan kept it cool and the small window opening helped with the stuffiness on the warmer days. Comfy bed, spacious room with a closet to hang clothes, a safe for valuables, fridge, kettle and tv. This area of town is noisy, so bring earplugs and you’ll have no problems. There is no housekeeping during the stay, but i was aware of this beforehand. There is a trash room where you can pop any rubbish you accumulate. I would definitely stay here again.

Conveniently located on Powell & O'Farrel near Union Square, Cable Car Terminal and BART Powell Station directly connected to SFO airports. You need to read check-in instructions as there's no front desk on site. You need to check-in at the Stratford Hotel across the street. No daily cleaning unless upon request. No AC, but it does have a ceiling fan which is sufficient for us during our early June trip. They do provide a fridge and electric kettle to make coffee. No Luggage storage service if you have a late flight. Overall, great for budget travelers. Only complaint was the Front entrance and elevator could use a nicer scented air freshener. It smelled like you walked into a public washroom every time you enter the building.

The front desk staff was really nice but we ended up changing our room three times. The first time the door wouldn’t lock and the other two times was because the steam from the furnace wouldn’t turn off and was leaking. It was super inconvenient and time consuming. The people at the front desk were as helpful as could be and offered us a room at their sister hotel across the street which we took. The room was clean but half as small. The location is extremely convent and price was nice but would prefer to check another spot out.

Property needs to be upgraded and more attentive to care and maintenance. I didn’t know I had booked a shared bathroom room and that I would have to use the community one but the bathroom that was in my room had the lock broken! Which means that I couldn’t lock it to prevent the other shared room attendant from entering mine. Had to call to get someone to come lock it, luckily I didn’t have any valuables but still I am a solo traveler and this is unsafe. Also my room key card stopped working and had to text the front desk (which is not even located within the same building it’s across the street part of another hotel) to have someone come open my room. Well they said I could go pick it up because the repair guy was on break. This was at night but luckily it didn’t happen at 2AM in the morning because then that would have been unsafe and I probably would’ve been locked out of my room since front desk has weird hours. Save your money and book a proper hotel at either Hilton or Hyatt.
