Hotel is clean and conveniently located but the water dispenser in the hotel broke and they have a cafe and there was no access to clean water! You can’t run a hotel and cafe without clean water!

4/10 Fair

Cons: Minimal seating in room (one small stool). No luggage rack. There was space for a chair and small table but nothing to sit on except the bed! Bathroom fine except it had a tiny low toilet. No cups of any kind in the bathroom for water. Pros: Location is very good and room was clean.

We were only staying for one night and the room worked well for our needs. The rooms were a little small but as we weren’t staying long it wasn’t an issue for us. The bathroom was updated and spacious, the beds were comfortable but the pillows were a bit lumpy. There is no AC in the rooms which can be fine when the city is not experiencing a heat wave. The hotel is conveniently located in the union square district. Shelf check in was very easy.

This is definitely a no frills hotel but Location location location! This was our first time taking the BART from the airport and it was so close and easy.

Room and hotel is very clean. The location was excellent too, and the area is safe. However I was surprised there was no mini fridge which was a bummer and couldn’t store my leftovers or snacks. Pretty pricey for what you get, but it’s San Francisco. No A/C either which was fine with the windows open and fan. Probably wouldn’t want to stay here in the summer…

This is hotel is perfect for sight seeing. The location is just right if you want to ride to the bay on the cable car. The hotel is a small size, quiet, clean and comfortable. I'd aboslutely stay here agin when no doubt I come back to visit in the future. There are breakfast options in the hotel but plenty of eateries in the area.
