At first I was a bit worried reading all the reviews, but in the end it was all good! Location - very convenient, not that far from the center, you can take a short ride or take 30-60 mins walk if it's a good weather. Parking - for free, perfect for SF! Room - very spacious, nothing to complain about! Staff - no issues at all, I've met 2 different guys at the reception, not one of them was anyhow rude, as some people have mentioned here. Definitely worth the price!

    Great hotel. Nice personnel. Good price (by SF standards), nice big room, comfortable bed, and spacious bathroom. Hotel atmosphere was good and cozy. Location is good; close to the busy city center (union square etc), but located in a street which is a little bit more quiet/nicer. Easy to walk to other neighborhoods from the hotel. Breakfast is okay, nothing special but fine.

    Central location. Good price compared to other properties in SF. Reasonably clean. The diner next door is a good place for breakfast. The hotel itself was quiet, although there was a little noise from the street. The room was equipped with a hairdryer, and an iron and board, which you wouldn't necessarily expect at that price point. The staff was friendly. It's all in all a good budget option. I would probably go back if travelling alone.
