Although room and property were clean, there were glaring problems. My room was the only one with a physical key that opened my door. The knob was installed backward. This was the only lock on the door (as a solo woman I was uncomfortable). I thought there had to be secondary locks. There was no evacuation information either. The room was barren, no real place to sit but the bed in such a big room. The desk is not a desk, it is a side table too high for utilizing as a desk (I had to work hovered over the bed). Only mirror was a small one above the sink, too high to see myself. Although the hotel advertised parking it was VERY limited. There was NO place for me to park when I returned after dinner. After realizing the closest parking space was blocks away, I pointed out their listing stated parking was included and the clerk moved his car from the handicapped spot and moved it into a garage near the property (I believe this was the owner, but then why are you taking up spots advertised to patrons?). Groups of men were congregating and drinking in the parking area further making it difficult to park. The clerk said they were always there.
another great night sleep, clean as always. parking is always a bit of a problem but if you can park you'll be fine lol looking forward to staying here next time i come to town!
the bar does get a little rowdy but like i say in my other reviews some white noise and you'll be fine
I like that it was close to UCSF, but it is a noisy area. Free parking is a plus, but it is first come basis. There is available parking on street as well. Walking distance to beach was nice, but it was super windy and cold when we were there. The Tran runs all day and night which is pretty noisy and there is a bar downstairs that can get noisy as well. Luckily we were there during the week. Overall it is not a bad area.
i had seen another review about the noise and yeah this time i heard it alot more the little bar under the hotel gets cracking lol but still not a problem played some white noise on the tv and slept pretty great. room is super clean, parking this time was a bit of a issue but the front desk took care of it. 10/10 will continue to stay here.

Good basic room but no soap, had to undo the shower gel holder and use that. No creamer for the coffee pot either.

For the price, it is not bad at all. The room was massive and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom was fine. Hot water and good water pressure. Lots of free parking for guests. Only downside was the cable car was very loud and ran all day and night, so if you’re sensitive to sound probably not the place for you. Also the room we stayed in, the window had no screen so it do is just open and be a safety hazard.
Good place to stay. Right by the train to downtown and the stadium.

This was a delightful find for me as one who loves to explore the city, mostly needs just a place to sleep and seeks modest room rates. The place has a work-in-progress feel, especially from the outside, but offers so much. In specific the room was clean and spacious and everything worked. The folks there had a very helpful website that acquaints you with dining and other neighborhood offerings, of which there are many. I wanted to explore GG Park and the beach and they were right there. In addition the muni train is right in front and will take you right down to the Embarcadero for a couple dollars. The one bit I highly advise is bringing a sleep noise machine because the trolley bells are right in front and there's a pub nearby.
Super nice office staff, a comfortable bed, the right amount of quirky/funky to be cool and proximity to transit, the beach, Golden Gate Park, onsite parking that was free - we liked this place! There is a pub below the room we stayed in so we could hear patrons, but not so loud it kept us awake. Except for that, the neighborhood was really quiet at night. You can feel the street cars rumble by but they stop running early. The worst thing was the bright white room lights. Warmer temp lights would really make a difference to me. Good cafes and markets nearby. Stayed two days and enjoyed it.

This property is conveniently located within walking distance of Ocean Beach, Golden Gate Park and other Outer Sunset attractions. The room was clean and recently painted and spacious, but there was no furniture other than a bed and small desk with chair. More seating options would be good and a lamp. There is a way to reduce the overbearing ceiling lights. No heat except a portable plug in heater (you may not need more; I read a review and brought an electric blanket to be sure). Great, well lit parking in lot. There is a lot of street noise from the train and the bar on the corner until about 1 am. However, the access to the train is great to get downtown and come back late. All worked out for us regardless.
