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.

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.

Appallingly bad. I arrived with 2 of my work colleagues, one of whom has mobility issues. No elevator, and our rooms were on the third floor. I asked if there was a room on a lower floor and was told no. We went to dinner and returned to find the bed in my room was covered in ants. Gross. I went back downstairs to the front desk and asked to be moved and they moved me to another room... on the second floor. The building rattled whenever the muni passed, and around 2:15 in the morning, a couple in an adjacent room started arguing loudly, which continued until 4:45 in the morning. The walls were thin and it was impossible to sleep. The front desk was unwilling to ask them to keep it down. All 3 of our rooms were freezing with iffy heaters (the one in my second room was visibly broken), and one of my colleagues reported that the TV came on randomly 3 times in the night, waking him up. Aside from being in a good location, there is nothing positive to report about our stay. Would not recommend.

Pros: Walkable to beach and park. Free parking. Good price. Huge room. Comfy mattress and sheets. Conditioner provided in shower. Refrigerator and microwave. Cons: Biggest problem was the noise level. Older building with single paned windows located next to trolly line and above pub. Lots of traffic noise (and talkative drunks on F & Sa). Needed more furniture in huge room (sitting chairs or table would be nice, wall mirror so we don’t fight over tiny mirror in bathroom, luggage racks, and hangars are all needed). No central heat or cooling (though was not a problem for us). Pillows were unusually overstuffed. Bring: earplugs, eye mask, & your own pillow.

Pros: price, onsite parking, quick check in, huge room, mattress comfort, fast hot water, close to beach. Cons: quite noisy all day long - trolley car, vehicle traffic, and talkative bar patrons make it hard to sleep. No heat or air conditioning (not needed on this trip fortunately). The room needs a seating area, more chairs, a mirror, luggage racks, and hangars for closet. (insulated windows for noise and temperature control would also be nice)

Quick one-night stay

When we arrived there was plenty of parking. We had to wait a few minutes for someone to arrive at the front desk but then check in was quick and easy. The room was nothing special but plenty comfortable. The price was reasonable so I would definitely stay again.

I never stayed here. I booked a night and was called by the front office telling me my room was directly above a bar. Since I have a young baby, that was unacceptable and was told they’d cancel my room. It was never cancelled and I was charged anyway! DONT TRUST THIS PLACE!
