Horrible experience. Multiple loud guests playing loud music at 12AM!!! After hours of this nonsense the receptionist asked them to lower the volume but they did not. Then called hotels.com and they called the owner and he lied and said there was no noise. I then walked in the hallway to prove the ongoing noise to Hotels.com and prove the noise was ongoing. Further more, there was a leak from the ceiling from a shower above... And they only give you a one towel! They offered no refund, and then at checkout they said they didn’t remember my deposit and had me waiting to refund my deposit while the taxi was patiently waiting. This place is not a 2 star hotel, it’s a slum!

I hope I can write "Dump" 🔹fire alarms removed, people were smoking weed or worse 🔹mattress was purse springs and urine spots with holes in the cover 🔹drug addicts were housed there 🔹unsafe neighborhood 🔹Loud screaming and other noises went on through the whole night
Broken sink
Mattress urine stains and holes
Better angle of stains
Mattress cover didn't protect from direct impact by the springs

Upon arrival and inspecting the room and the bed we immediately booked an alternative motel and left. The bed was dirty and had a cigarette burn hole in the bottom sheet. The room was in poor condition and the motel is in a terrible area with numerous drug addicts directly outside and around the location.

Advert advertised breakfast included in the price, when I arrived for breakfast staff announce that they have not provided breakfast since the beggining of the COVID pandemic, therefore admitting that they have been false advertising for over 5 years. Advertised that there would be a microwave in the room, there wasn't. The fire detector had been ripped out in the room as well. Room was generally clean, there was a little stains on the towels, otherwise the room was clean. There was damage to the sink in the room so needed to be careful not to cut self when using. The room did not have any aircon so did get humid in the room. Staff were polite and accommodating in general. The biggest issue with this property is on the outside. The street seems to be a popular congregating place for the use of drugs. Upon arrival there must have been 20 people on the street doing drugs, their behaviour was erratic and on occasions violent. I did not feel safe going outside and I was apprehensive about them coming in as there were a couple occasions where someone would bang on the window/door. Ultimately I would not stay here again, having explored the city a bit I would recommend a place down near the piers felt much safer around here.

I stayed here for Folsom Weekend. I made it to the hotel around 6:30pm & my room still wasn’t ready. There was no nearby parking & the entrance was blocked by homeless people. The pros of this hotel: close to public transportation, lots of things in walking distance & if you’re in town for Folsom Street fair it’s walking distance. I go to 24hr Fitness & there was a gym within walking distance. Cons: No guests, I was not informed of this “rule” until the 2nd day of my stay. Again, I was in for FSF weekend so this added a damper. Homeless people, the perimeter of the hotel is blocked by homeless people which is intimidating & made me feel unsafe at times. Shared bathroom, the bathroom at the end of the hall of the 3rd floor was terrible. The outlets didn’t work, the toilet is extremely close to the shower & there was no one to but my toiletries. Can clearly hear neighbors, the way my window was positioned I was about to hear my neighbors conversations as clear as if they were speaking directly to me. Dirty towels, my towels were dirty & had black spots No ac No extra lock, there’s no extra lock attachment No parking No rack to hang towels, they provide a sink in the room but there’s nowhere to hang towels or clothes No one replaced my trash during my 4 day stay

Both hotel and expedia are terrible. I've been charged twice and hotel told me to contact expedia and expedia told me to contact hotel. After all expedia told me go and pay hotel directly and next morning I will get refunded from expedia. Next day expedia wrote me that it is non refundable and they kept my money. Avoid both expedia and this hotel as they both are terrible. 0 stars

This place is in tenderloin and a lot of homeless hangs around right at front. While i survived, i realized i should have read the reviews. It’s a relatively inexpensive place. Next to Bart train so that’s why I got it. But the location and surrounding really sucks. The room smells and the bed has blood stains… get what you pay for… would not recommend.
