Parking is not all free. There are only a few spots for the entire hotel. First come first get, if you leave for a drive you may not have a spot when you come back. 3 of the dozen or so narrow parking spots are reserved for hotel guests that want to guarantee a parking spot, they charge $25 dollars a night. The front lobby area behind the counter good use a good organizing. Room was very clean. Sink in bathroom drained very slow. Excellent location! Staff were very friendly.

The staff at the hotel went above and beyond to make sure we knew where we were going and how to get there. They had recommendations for restaurants and travel means (including what would be cheapest for our party). Housekeeping was pleasant and helpful. The hotel itself is older, but we had no complaints. (The shower temperature was a little difficult to adjust, but we got there!)

It was just an ok place. Reason we picked it was for free parking, wasn’t going to spend $85 per night to park. Place was old and outdated. Continental breakfast was one waffle maker, yogurts, bananas, two cereals and coffee. Placed was always packed and couldn’t get anything. Room was clean but outdated. No blackout curtains and outside lights were on all night beaming into the room. Every night we heard people coming in yelling and running around at 2-3 in the morning. It was over a mile away from the piers so be prepared for a walk and walking back with our family at night was a bit scary with the homeless and people under the influence. Would not recommend. Wishes I stayed by the wharf and paid for parking.

I like that the facility is near to most of city’s attractions, and staffs are friendly. And breakfast is also included. The only thing we did not like is that there’s no available elevator and the rooms are all upstairs. And since our rooms were on the second floor so we have to climb 2 flights of stairs, which was so hard for my 84 yr old mother and my husband who has a knee problem. Parking is also very limited .

Pictures are deceiving- not clean or comfortable

I think anyone booking here needs to be aware of the filth and condition of rooms. Though online photos make it seem pretty standard, fine for a comfortable stay - this place was far from that. We walked in to black fingerprints and marks all over our inner bedroom door as well as bathroom door. In addition the bathroom door and walls had severe water damage. When I opened the shower curtain I found black mold in the shower and the shower floor looked to have never been cleaned, completely black again. I was very that have some purell sanitizing wipes. The bed was stiff as a board when we checked for quality and ultimately we didn't find this suitable to stay. The parking is also to be noted. No where in description does it say parking is Limited until after you book. It's first come first serve and if you've been looking around you know SF parking is $$$. So please be aware you may not get "free parking". Overall, I just can't recommend this to anyone and we're working with customer care to get a resolve to this bad experience.

Location was great - close to shops and dining a block away. Great access to transportation. Walkable to Ghiradelli Square. Lovely park nearby. Very basic walk up hotel with central stairwell. Dated but clean. Basic breakfast but enough for what we needed. Best Wesern chain so delivered the basics we expected. Good value for money.

Lo bueno: Lugar viejo pero en buenas condiciones, cama cómoda y en general buena limpieza. Lo malo: es muy ruidoso y todo se escucha, en la reserva mencionan que el estacionamiento es gratuito pero en cuanto llegamos nos cobraron 25 usd la noche por dejarnos estacionar y la ultima noche otro huésped estacionó mal su auto por lo no pudimos estacionar el nuestro, la solución que nos dieron fue que les dejáramos nuestras llaves del auto y que lo estacionáramos en el “pasillo”, grave error porque le dieron un golpe y no nos avisaron, una lástima que los empleados dañen así la imagen del hotel, no regresaría jamás a hospedarme de nuevo.
