Room was clean and hotel was in a central location. Easy check-in & check out. Room was a little warm, but keeping the window open and the fan on made it comfortable. I would stay again.

Great hotel! A block away from union square and also Powell St. Bart and muni trains stations. Coffee, restaurants, and bars just steps away.

Dated but well maintained property with clean, comfortable no-frills rooms. The staff was first-rate, going above and beyond. They offered us a room away from Powell Street so we didn’t hear the cable cars going by, and accommodated all of our needs. Conveniently located equidistantly between Union Square and the Powell Street Muni station, there is an abundance of shopping, dining, and entertainment opportunities close by. We would definitely stay there again.

Rooms were comfortable, cleanliness could have been slightly better in the bathroom (upon arrival it seemed it needed a little more work, nothing major just small details) Staff was nice, nice building, great area close to public transportation, Union Square, lots of eating and shopping options. Overall a nice stay. Rooms were basic, but offer everything you could want. I would stay there again.

I liked being right at the beginning of the cable car line, it made the location very convenient for travelling around downtown and seeing all the touristy sights. The room was very clean, i had a top floor corner unit and enjoyed the 5 night stay, would reccomend for the price.

Location is perfect and super walkable. The bathroom wasn't the cleanest, there were several spots where I found hair in the tub, bathroom, floor etc, but not awful. We just cleaned it ourselves and went on about our trip. There originally wasn't a fan or mirror in our room despite the fan being included in our amenities and a mirror in all the photos. They immediately, without struggle, corrected the error and put us in the proper room. There was a fridge and coffee pot which was nice, as well as a desk and TV. Towels were only given upon request and you do have to go across the street, where you check in, to get them. Otherwise, there really wasn't much else. For the price we were able to book during a huge time of the year, I would 100% stay again. The staff was nice, the room was quiet and pleasant to stay in. We felt very very safe with the building and elevator only operating with a room key. Overall a great choice!
