Very good hotel. Classic San Francisco layout. Don’t expect luxury. But the room was big enough, and SPOTLESS. The mattress was firm and comfortable. Housekeeping always pendant and very efficient. I arrived a little bit early and they checked me in with no problems at all. Great stay. Oh and parking included which it was a huge add on.

We have stayed here before, we had business at the Greek Consulate and we were able to walk there from the hotel. Nice to have secure parking. The only issue was that they didn't offer a microwave in the room, it shows in the listing that for $10 you could get a microwave which we requested but they weren't able to provide one.

This hotel is not worth $160/night, nor is it worth an 8 points... It is a very ran down old motel 6, with doors damaged, half a.s fixed bathroom, with painted over mold ceiling and walls. The carpet both in room and hallway was over a decade old... Very ran down... Not worth anything over $60/night and less than a 5 points
