The room is acceptable, yet the hotel price is extremely high. Prices around San Francisco are inflated, with comparable hotels costing 20%-30% more here than in other areas.

Room looked good. However, was dirty, coffee machine disgusting with spoiled stuff in it, bathroom sink clogged, hair in sink and bath stall, TV did not work, no response, phone calls to front desk instantly were disconnected, fixtures in bathroom damaged. Basically, a completely negative experience.

Disliked: Amenities
The room was just adequate. Nothing special. The cleaning between days was non existent- they took used towels, but did not make the bed, leave new towels, replace coffee or cups. Staff was moderately helpful, but not up to expected hotel standards. This hostelry can be compared to a low end Motel 6.

Liked: Cleanliness
I booked this hotel because it advertised complimentary breakfast. However, when I checked in, the front desk informed me that breakfast is no longer being offered. Had I known that in advance, I would not have chosen this hotel. The front desk staff also seemed unmotivated and were rarely at the reception desk when I needed assistance. The room looked nothing like the photos online. It was much older and more worn than I expected. I have to say, the photos are very flattering. The only bright spot during my stay was the housekeeping staff. The woman who cleaned my room was incredibly friendly, and she did an excellent job every day. She is the only person I would give five stars to.
