"It can get a little hot inside the rooms but besides that, the private room was a great deal for the price of the night. I always found the shared bathrooms clean and it’s super close to the Moscone and Nintendo Store. I’d definitely recommend if you’re on budget."

"I wish I did a little more research before booking. This lodge used to be a hostel and still seems more like a hostel than lodge.
