Hotel was going thru some renovations for the better. But during COVID-19 no amenities provided. Due to State Mandates. Will be better when state opens up, and amenities included.

Thought the hotel would be decent.

I hated that I could see stains on the bedsheets and pillow. I hated my room smelled like weed and cigarette, it was so bad I had to sleep with my mask on. I was so disgusted, I made sure to check out as early as possible. I am never coming back!

Superior Service!

I chose to book my stay at the Minna Hotel last week because of It’s modern chic aesthetic within walking distance to Bart while being extremely fair priced for an expensive city like San Francisco. As amazing as it was to find a hotel that had perfect balance of style, location, and price I am writing this review based on the exceptional service I experienced while staying there. I was very nervous about traveling last week because of both COVID-19 and the riots that have swept across the nation. The hotel has done an exceptional job at keeping a clean and Safe environment for its guests. The lobby had a 24/hr front desk that is enclosed in floor to ceiling glass which allows the staff to maintain safe social distances while still feeling as tho you are talking face to face. Alex, who worked the night shift, was extremely helpful at Helping me navigate the city during this time by offering recommendations for restaurants nearby that where open for take out. Overall the entire staff was very polite and respectful during this stressful time in the nation.

This was the worst hotel experience of my life. I don't mind staying in SOMA on 6th st (one of the worst areas in the city in terms of homelessness and poverty), but this hotel was disgusting. The hallways smelled like a morgue. The smell reminded me of when I would visit my grandma at her assisted living facility where very old people who were dying made up the residency (the smell of death). I believe that this is a hotel is where people bring prostitutes to have sex. I could of even looked past all of that. The thing that really upset me was when I got a towel that had stains on it (yes, stains. Super gross!) and I went down to the front desk to ask for a new one because the phone in my room didn't work. When I asked the front desk attendant he said that he couldn't because he was too busy. This was upsetting because he was on the phone watching TV. My room had no openable window or air conditioning so the room was super stuffy and hot. Honestly, this is more of a hostel than a hotel. People were hella loud as well. Overall, this was an awful experience and I would never recommend anyone to stay here unless they needed a cheap place to bring a prostitute.

Good value for money

It's a nice place. The room was small but okay for the price. Breakfast does not have as much variety as other places I've visited but it's decent. The hotel is clean overall and must have been constructed not too long ago but sometimes neighbors make a mess of the shared toilets. I liked it overall because it was a good deal for my budget compared to other places I've been to that are within the same price range.
