Location and Service- Not much more.
Scratchy towels, no AC and slow Wifi. Luckily the weather is good in October so we immediately opened the windows to get some air. The bed is awful! We could feel all of the springs. And the toilet was broken. We had to keep fixing the plug to get it to flush. However the girls at checkin were great! Customer service and location makes this hotel. Also the bottles of soap and shampoo were watered down. One bottle was broken. Just a lot of little things could have made this place better.

+ Clean room, restroom and bath ( shared). Good facilities. Near a cable car so it's perfect to start your visit. Wallgreen the next door. - Staff forgot the baby bed even after we ask by mail and phone call, we arrived at 1 am and nobody was able to provide a baby bed. Many junkies and homeless in the neighborhood, it could be stressfull but we didn't have any problem.

It was an interesting location to stay at. Checking in and out was just up the hill, and when we got in the key to open the main door didn't work. Thankfully one of the employees was coming in at the same time as us, so he changed our key for us. The history of this building is pretty cool, the lobby is pretty cool, it definitely dated but personally I love that. Our room was spacious, and was very clean when we got there. The bathroom had cute hexagon tiles. We also meet one long time resident there, and he was very friendly. I think it's worth checking out if you are a budget and plan to spend your time exploring the city.

Great location and nice quality for the price! The checkin being at another hotel is a bit confusing but they were very helpful when our key wasn’t working. I would definitely recommend and will most likely stay here again when we come for Giants game.

Location was great, room actually exceeded my expectation with the cleanliness. Staff were accommodating with our late check in and check out. Unfortunately our main room light didn’t work and on our last day the key pad battery died which was inconvenient but wasn’t a big fuss. Overall had a great stay and would recommend if you’re looking for an affordable stay while in SF!
