The Indian gentlemen who run this hotel go above and beyond to help out I am a disabled senior and couldnt have been treater better. My nahhage was carried up the elevator to my room The linens were fresh and the tile bathrooms My baggage was cheerfully carried to my room since I am a disabled senior. As for the comments about the noise and homeless on the street? get earplugs- this is the Tenderloin and enjoy the ambience since you are saving a lot of money. Highly recommended for adventurous travelers who appreciate historical buildings

The area was dreadful and smelled awful. Room was “clean” but bathroom floors needed to be cleaned and there was visible rotting. There was literally noise 24/7. From the I houses arguing on the street, yelling to music blasting all night. 0/10

It’s in the tenderloin of sf so prepare for that. The rooms are cold and make sure to ask for a towel. For the cost maybe worth it but wow that neighborhood is beyond noisy.

Do not stay here unless you have no other choice. One of the worst experiences from all the hotel stays in 2025. Probably better camping outside or in your car then staying here.

Everything is horrible, ugly and unsecured. This is way worse than the description mentioned in the site. I am wondering why at all Expedia lists such horrendous properties in its site. To be honest I never had stayed in such a place not even seen before. No basic amenities and no attention. Highly risky stay. Cursing myself for choosing such a deceptive place.

It's a great group. The neighborhood is safe and my family will make sure you are taken care of no matter what. San Francisco is my home. It's the type of place where you walk around at 3am and people just want to help.
