A rather bad stay

Pros: - Comfortable bed, for the most part. - Staff were nice and worked to resolve issues as best they could. Cons: - The bathroom has seen better days. - Noisy. I was woken up by garbage trucks knocking out the contents of dumpsters at probably 100 dB (as heard inside the room) at 30 minutes past midnight. Also, my room had shared door to the adjoining room which was not soundproofed at all. I could hear the conversations happening in the next room clearly, and what seemed to be the husband's nasty cough was distracting at times. - There were 2 ice machines in total, on different floors. The 3rd floor ice machine did not dispense ice, and leaked water onto the ground when it tried (see picture). Though I reported this to the staff at the start of my stay, it was not fixed by the time I checked out. - The front of the side table's drawer was falling off when I checked in (see picture). I complained to the staff and they sent a handyman to fix it fairly promptly, though the smell of the resin that he used kept me out of the room for the rest of the day. - The "refrigerator" in the room is really just a cooler. It did not seem to actively cool the contents, and anything cold I put in there was close to room temperature within 12 hours. It's not suitable for food, and in my mind, false advertising.

Not the best area. Staff was new and not very helpful. Elevator was broken. Our room didn’t have hot water and the room they wanted to move us to had mold.

There was only 1 staff member so we had to check ourselves in. Also Valet was a separate company so we had to wait for our vehicle to be called up and picked up which wouldn't have been a big deal but you are talking about SF traffic. The elevator was out of service when we got there. My deposit was held for over a week from our check out date and the staff member said it should be released on check out

The property was still under construction. Nothing was open yet like it looks on the pictures. The rooms were okay but did have a weird smell. The disappointment comes from all the homeless there is around that area.

Be sure you know that you’re staying in the Tenderloin. Pictures look much nicer than the hotel actually was. Restaurant, bar and coffee shop were all closed and not operating. Building is old, so they have a window AC instead of central air. Rug smelled musty when first came into the room. WiFi was not working at all, and it had very bad reception.

There was only one tiny elevator, which was out of service, so guests had to take multiple flights of stairs with their luggage.

Tilden was an ok stay if you just need somewhere to sleep. The hotel was under construction/ renovations while I was there so there was a lot of clutter and construction workers walking in and out of the entrance. Not a big issue check in was simple. The elevator is TINY and barely fits 3 people. You can hear your neighbors through the walls pretty easily and the rooms are simple and seem to be getting updated? Idk it kinda felt somewhere in between new and old. I didn’t like that I could see other rooms across the courtyard through my windows. The room was clean though, that’s always important. But the bathroom was tiny and I’m 5,2 so I don’t like when the mirrors are high above the sink I couldn’t really see myself lol. The area in front of the hotel was clean enough but once you turn the corner you are bombarded with rows of homeless people. Which can be pretty scary, I wouldn’t suggest a nighttime stroll. The employees were very nice and helpful! Especially considering all that’s going on. It was a bit of a chaotic stay and I probably wouldn’t stay here again unless it was the last option. Maybe after the renovations….

The hotel was not really as it was pictured. Significantly older and did not really give a “boutique” feel. Minor upgrades would make a major impact here. Check in was tough as I waited outside for 10 minutes. The front desk attendant was sitting on the couches with his feet up in the dark and didn’t see me trying to get in. The elevator was is very slow and small. The last night of my stay, my TV did not work. Also, they should consider giving their guests water… The daytime staff members were nice upon entering and exiting the lobby. The housekeeping staff did great with room refreshing.
