A little old-fashioned, but the bed and shower are really good. Sadly, located in a area with lots of homeless/drug addicts. There is a gate though. For the price it was very good.

I've stayed here twice and would stay again. An older hotel that needs upgrading, but very clean with a friendly staff. Although in the heart of the Tenderloin, this particular location (Geary and Leavenworth) is very safe and free from many of the problems normally associated with this area. There are numerous dining options nearby. The location is quite far from the BART station at either Powell of Civic center. Difficult walk with baggage.

Great staff with friendly attitude and good suggestions as to where to go and where NOT TO GO. It’s giving hostel vibes with customer service attentiveness. The area around the hotel can turn from tolerable to hella sketchy. Great for solo travelers that don’t mind sharing a bathroom or a shower, bring your own toiletries.

Hidden Gem

The place is a little run down, needs new carpet, etc. my room was very clean and modern. Had a window overlooking the garden that I could open for fresh air. Shared bathroom and shower is what it is, but was very clean. Robes were provided for going from shower to room. Place was quiet, service was friendly.

The real lowdown on this place

Your enjoyment and satisfaction at this place really depends on your familiarity with and tolerance of modern US urban environments. The hotel is a quirky old property that feels pretty safe once you're inside. The immediate area does have a large unhoused population but you are also in easily walkable distance to Union Square and the touristy bits. I'm a street savvy older male so I felt fine but you have to gauge your own comfort level. It is a great bargain to be in the middle of SF.

The staff was very nice and helpful. I did not care for the shared bathroom or showers. I wish the bedroom had its own bathroom and shower. The room was small but clean. The bed was very small and not comfortable unless you are teen or young child. The room was cold at night but too hot under all the covers. There is portable fan heater but I was unable able to turn it on or use it. The area around the hotel was not ideal it was a rough area. I asked one of the staff what is the least expensive way to get the airport and he recommended a cab which was around $80 the last time I traveled from the airport to a hotel in the same area. Thank god for google it recommended the bart train which was under $12 it saved me a bundle.

DON'T STAY

The front desk people were fine. That was about it! The room was dirty, the shared bathroom was mediocore, the shower area was clean, but dark, the tiles were cracked, one of the shower heads was broken. It took about 7 minutes for the water to get cold, the hooks were so far up I could not reach them. The room was dirty, tiles cracked, there was no closet door where the trash can was, the furniture was dusty, the windows dirty, the curtains did not match, there was not hot water in the sink In the bathroom, there was one chair and it was wobbly. The rooms were not cleaned or the sheets/towels changed - and we were there 5 days, 4 nights. I would not refer anyone to stay here. The area is very frightening!

Old building, old furnishings, old finishings, and not that well maintained. Everything is at the boundary of ok. Even the floor was inclined in the room, everything rolling from the door to the window... A good new layer of paint would do it good, and new furnishings. The showers were nice and modernized. The toilets less so. Everything was clean.

Pro: posizione comoda per raggiungere a piedi o con i mezzi i principali punti d'interesse della città, presenti inoltre numerosi negozi e ristoranti in zona. Personale disponibile e cordiale. Contro: nel quartiere sono presenti molti senzatetto e passeggiare da soli non è molto sicuro. La struttura è vecchia e le camere avrebbero bisogno di una ristrutturazione.
