The staff was great, but the overall cleanliness of the property was poor. I also did not like the communal restroom situation.

Okay

the hotel location is in a good spot, close to shopping centers, transportation and parking garage's. However, I did not know there wasn't going to be a bathroom/shower in the room and had to use a community one instead. other than that, the stay was good for travelers who will be more outdoors instead of staying in the room.

A real bargain in the off season ($75 USD/night). It is very bare bones, bathroom/shower down the hall, no room service and a small basic room but the bed was comfortable and it was quiet, and you can't beat the location...

You pretty much got what you paid for. Nothing fancy, but far from being a dump. If you're looking to save money this is the place.

Liked: Cleanliness
Room very small and we end up booked the room which has bathroom and restrooms in the hallway. No refrigerator or microwave in the room. Bathroom doesn’t have towels to wipe your feet after shower. There is mold in the bathroom and doesn’t seem like Housekeeping has came to clean during our three days stay. You have to go check in at the hotel to get your keys. We have no idea until our friend told us before we arrived. Location is very good just right downtown of San Francisco. Convenient for us to find transportation and food.
