10/10 Excellent

We really enjoyed our 2 nights here. Property is at a great location with on site parking that makes it so convenient. Staff was amazing, provided great information for getting around, dining, etc. I couldn't have picked a better place to stay for the area.
Travis, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Excellent central location and easy parking. Loved how windows opened to fresh air and how interior rooms were quiet. Old fashioned feel and charm. Katrina’s Taqueria across street served delicious quality nutritious food created with care. Highly recommended.

Dong Sheng, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

The location for this property is its best aspect! We loved that the hotel had a bus stop right outside, and that there were a lot of restaurants/stores on the same road. We also liked having a parking garage included; that was really important because of our car rental.
Olivia, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We had a great quick stay here, hotel was nice and clean, room was super cute and comfortable, check in and check out was super easy and best of all Safe Free parking! Highly recommended this hotel and I love the area, feels very safe. And if you are a Harry Potter fan you must go to the bar across the street Wizards and Wands! It’s magical!!

Close to many restaurants great staff friendly came to the city for a doctors appointment. Had a great dinner and a good night. Sleep could use a new mattress and a little updating in a room otherwise it was great.

2/10 Terrible

I stayed here on the night of the 23rd. The attitude of the female staff at the front desk was really bad. I think if a job makes you unhappy, please don't do it. It will affect the image of the hotel.
Ray, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Perfect stay

It was a perfect stay, clean room, great location for where w were and an awesome stay. Thank you
Paul, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

Rooms and hotel in need of a renovation. Only one chair in the room. Desk did not have a desk chair, missing furniture was unexpected. One small bar of soap was only amenity in bathroom. The in shower pump for shower gel was empty. Hair in the bath tub. Worst thing is our room faced the back alley, which is next door to a post office. All day and night constantly hearing trucks running, unloading, banging, yelling, never stopped for 5 minutes. We didn't get any sleep. Ask for a room away from the alley.
Tonya M, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

The location is excellent, hotel room is very clean, but no fridge, no microwave, you couldn’t keep leftovers or even drinks cold in the room
nadia, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Parking was tight, Room was fine and honestly bathroom was outdated and gross. We stayed less than 12 hours (early flight out) so barely used the full accommodations. Would not stay again.
1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great place. Very friendly and helpful staff
Olivia, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

The property was like a motel with a walk up window to check in at night. Was just OK. Luckily we only needed a place to stay for 1 night before heading out on a cruise.
Cheryl, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We stayed 2 nights here and both night were wonderful. It was really quiet and we walked to dinner both nights. There is a bunch of restraunts right around the block. We parked in the garage underneath the hotel and took city transit, the bus stop was right outside the front door almost, will definitely go back.
Michael, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Lady at night shift is a little rude.
Pedro, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We love to stay here its close to everything and its clean.
Maria, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Average kind of place and decent for the price. Has an 80s building kind of vibe. Excellent proximity to the hot spot areas on Fillmore , Union and Chestnut street corridors.
Daniel, 4-night trip

8/10 Good

The location was wonderful. We could walk or catch a bus to wherever we wanted to go in the SF area. Union and Chestnut shopping and dining streets were both within a couple of blocks with a great selection of dining, bars, and shops - including a good bookstore and old fashion movie theater. We could walk to the Marina area, Presidio or Ft. Mason. We would stay here again.
Phylis, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

Great Hotel. Noisy Bar across street

I love the location of this hotel and the hotwl otswlc but if you get a room that faces Fillmore, there is a bar right across the street and you wont get any sleep until 2am. So freaking noisy!!!!
