The room was disgusting. No full sized towels. Furnace was from 1940 and was extremely loud every 20-30 minutes. Smelled like sewer. Bed was not comfortable. Whole building was weird vibes.

The entire hotel smelled stale and dusty. The room they first put us in had a ladder and tools strewn about. Told the front desk who had no idea this room was not available. They changed our rooms to the next room so now we could hear the construction from the first room. The dust made it impossible to stay. We ended up filing a claim and finding another hotel.

Liked: Cleanliness
It was a lot closer to a sketchy neighborhood than I remember that location being. LOL not the hotel's fault but still it would be good to know. Turc, Eddy, Ellis between Polk and Taylor was sketchy af and if I were a single woman I'd have felt very unsafe. But at the same time, City Hall and Market St are super close and that is a very safe neighborhood. The hotel was fine, clean sheets, and clean rooms but its glory days were certainly behind it - everything was a touch dingy. The radiator gurgled all night very loudly, for example. The price was great and staff was very pleasant.

The staff were all courteous and helpful. I loved hearing that until last year a single family had owned the hotel since 1929.
The 2nd floor mezzanine is a nice quiet space.
The bed was comfortable

Looks absolutely nothing like the pictures. This place is filthy, it looks like there’s no housekeeping. There was mold all over the walls. I left, could not stay there after seeing how disgusting this place was. Do not stay here, it’s a health hazard!! Not sure how it’s still open

This was a pretty cool hotel, very convenient to where I had to go for my trip and was not a high traffic area so it was enjoyable very close to the scooters that I rented over the weekend. A good distance from the pier and Golden Gate Bridge, but very good place to stay if staying in the city.
