I’d stay there again.

Wi fi was a little tricky at first, but reliable thereafter. Staff was helpful, but this was only my second stay at a “non-contact” hotel. Takes a little getting used to, but well wait for the price, good location and best low cost hotel I’ve had in San Francisco.

It was walking distance to our destination. The keyless entry was easy with no hassle. The room was clean and everything worked as it should. All in all great experience. Would definitely stay here again.

10/10 Exceptional

As far as hotels near the tenderloin go, this place was awesome. Definitely could use some work and maintenance overall, but it was perfect for what we needed. The private code for hotel and room entry is nice. No staff on site as far as I could tell, which is nice for private and convenient check in. Amazing location, right off of the bus stop and close to a ton of shopping and restaurants. Overall, it was a bit musty but clean and the location was amazing.
Kathryn, 4-night trip

Sometimes it was very noisy due to the outside traffic.0therwise it was fine. The entry was clean and well-kept. There are a few dining options and a great cafe in the neighborhood

Self check-in. Easy to follow instructions. The room was clean and comfortable.
Michael, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great place, great location. It’s a bit non-traditional- there’s no door person or a lobby… but the property is well managed and maintained. The cleaning crew is efficient and friendly, but also very quick. There’s no silverware or glasses, but the fridge and BevMo across the street provide just fine. Also, its hot water and water pressure are great!

Nice room! Would have been better if customer service responded faster and if staff were present.

Walden and his crew are just terrific. No matter what the issue, directions, towels, advice regarding food - I cannot say enough good things about Walden and his staff. They will make your stay a good one. This was my second stay, and it was exceptional.
David, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The location was amazing and parking was really easy once we figured out the parking laws. I would recommend fixing the shower so that it doesnt leak on the floor and toilet when showering. Also, if you arent going to rehang the towel hooks, toilet paper holder etc. that have been ripped off of the wall then at least fill in the holes and paint. It makes it feel really trashy. I would say that this was less like a hotel and more of a private room at a hostel considering the condition of the room.
Austin, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I stayed 2 nites as a solo female. The location is great, Polk Street is a block away & there are a myriad of bars, shopping & dining options, for a range of budgets. I just needed lodging with private bath & 24-hr front desk, as i was in town to attend an event that went late into the night & wanted to be able to access my room any time. My room was clean, linens were crisp, i barely heard any other guests but - if this is an issue for you, it wasn't for me- normal city traffic sounds can inevitably be heard (bc you ARE in a city). The water pressure in the shower was excellent, although the glass shower door wouldnt close shut all the way, causing shower water to spill out onto the bathroom floor. Checking in was simple & overall i would definitely stay again. Highly recommended for solo travelers.

Good price but the quality is not good

There is no hairdryer. WiFi is not stable. The floor is not clear. There is no clean service. The pictures looks better than the real condition. It's not quiet. The refrigerator and the microwave are good. There is no glass cup. The location is good. The price is good in this area. The space is good.
Tommy, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good place for independent young travelers

Traveled here for a week in April with my girlfriend. Awesome place, would stay again. This is no-frills, hostel style housing. You're getting what you pay for, and they are not going to hold your hand or pamper you. However, the property is in a good location with plenty of locks, so we felt safe. The room was clean and comfortable. There is no customer service on site, so you have to call a number to request things like extra towels, and they won't clean your room every day. But most of the negative reviews on here are a little dramatic. It's a cheap place, yes, but I felt like I got my moneys worth and had a good stay with them. Customer service rep was always polite and honest, never rude. This place is great for younger people who want to save money and are okay looking out for themselves. 3.5/5.
Alex, 5-night trip

Not a typical hotel stay

You kinda get what you pay for in this SF stay, but the listing is kind of misleading. This is not a “normal hotel”. On the outside of the building they advertise rooms for rent nightly, weekly, monthly. There isn’t really a front desk. There appears to be a desk area through the doors under the stairs. We were sent a front door code and room door code to left ourselves in. We were only given two towels and two wash cloths. This became an issue when we discovered that the shower overflows and leaks all over the bathroom floor. The shower has a large crack at the door that lets water out; the door doesn’t stay shut; the drain doesn’t drain as quick as the flow comes out, so we could only keep the water on in minute-long increments to not completely overflow the bathroom. The smoke detector was missing from the holder in the ceiling. The mattress was kinda old and springy, but comfortable enough. Pillows were nice. Overall seemed clean.

This is not the property to book last minute as you are getting on a plane. You have to be able to communicate with the booking agent because there is no front desk personnel. Everything is done with a code. The room did not block out the excessive noise of the surrounding area and I noticed as I was leaving that there was a large basket of earplugs. Definitely needed! The room was clean but the property overall was dated. The neighborhood was not very clean or inviting and aside from the address on the building, it wasn’t obvious that it was a hotel. The bed and linens were otherwise clean and comfortable.
