The hotel was a complete dump ! The bedding was disgusting. Holes and burns and no towels to guest. And what hotel only takes cash. ! I will never ever stay there again. Horrible and shady area. Beware
This hotel should not be an option on Expedia. If you are not familiar with San Francisco, you may not know that there are many many people living on the street and probably doing drugs. There is no where to park your car off the street and there is a good chance a car would be broken into in this area. You have to wait for someone to ring you in because it is not a safe area. I checked out the room and decided not to stay there because it was not very nice inside either.
One step above a crack house. First room had dirty walls, dirty floors, cigarette burns on mattress and holes in blanket, so asked to switch rooms. Second room had more of the same(albeit 10% better), so decided to just ask for blankets and towels and brave it. Turns out, the extra blanket we got also had holes and cigareete burns AND they were only able to offer one towel. STAY AWAY!
**DO NOT BOOK HERE!!!**
WORST EXPERIENCE EVER! Very disappointing and false advertisement, you cannot even call it a hotel. A lot of homeless person, I didn’t feel safe going to that area. Disgusting place, the room is garbage and bed sheets were not changed and has a lot of holes on it. This place is not proper and should not operate at all!!
Terrible place in the middle of tweaker city. if you want to defend your life from needles and filth then please come and stay here. Disgusting place. A pile of ash after burning it would be worth more then 1 night stay
Please please please give this place a chance! The family that owns this is absolutely amazing, and they do the best they can to keep the street outside clean and the guests comfortable. Knowing everything I know, I would stay here again, no doubt!
staff had poor attitude. no towels. staff was reluctant to give even one towel. trash out side my window from other rooms above mine. leaky trash liquid outside my door in the hallway from housekeeping throwing out trash.
