This was the worst hotel I have ever stayed at. The smell was disgusting, the bed felt like i was sleeping on the floor. So aweful and unsafe also.

No issues
Sitting in an area of homelessness we didn't know what to expect but the hotel was clean, safe and friendly. The locals gave us no issues at all.

Great!
Everything was great during our stay, other than when you park down below, you cannot access the elevator until you've obtained your room key (so you can't really unload until after you check in), not a huge issue, just wish I knew ahead of time.

Motel not a hotel
Horrible neighborhood. Also it is not a hotel at all but just a motel in the Tenderloin. Not a place for a family.

Bonne situation à 10 minutes d'Union Square, de Market street et de Civic center pour les commerces et le metro.
Hélas quartier rempli de SDF et la nuit c'est dangereux de sortir de l'hôtel. Enfin il y a de nombreux insectes dans la chambre et c'est cher par rapport à la vue et l'état du logement. Dommage

Pour voyageur averti
Pour voyageur avisé et n'ayant pas le coeur sensible.
L'hôtel est correct dans la mesure où vos attentes sont très peu élevées.
C'est surtout le quartier le problème, de l’itinérance qui peut troubler. La grosse misère mais nous ne nous sommes pas senti en danger.
Dans la mesure où vous êtes entré avant le coucher du soleil, ça peut aller.
Pour moins de 500us pour 4 nuits, ça vaut la peine d'y penser.

The area around the hotel is a little bit sketchy with high poverty and scenery that I would rather not encounter however, I still felt really safe and the urban playground right around the corner made it worthwhile as my kids really enjoyed it

Good stay
My room was clean, clean sheets and pillow cases, shower was clean with good water pressure. Check in was quick, location was great, small grocery store was across street. I was so tired from my day’s activities that I slept all night.
