I was a little freaked out about the bed in my room having bed bugs. I can’t actually confirm that it did but i’m having terrible anxiety about it. And my room smelled mildew/ like wet wood when I first arrived.

First stay at Herbert Hotel

It was an interesting stay at herbert hotel i got much needed rest... before i dicovered the bathrooms! Herbert hotel is simple efficient and if no bathroom the bathrooms are at the end of the hall... could become something romantic if done properly. The all gender bathrooms have a toilet and bath tub while the male / female bathroom has toliet and sink. There is also a seperate shower one too. I like it... maybe ill find a girlfriend that way... dunno... better than a "flynders box". As for somthing nearby to do Union square has all kinds of events going on here these days... and at night time the crazies come out to play till morning. 7/11 24/h is your best cheap eats nearby up north on powell its a great hotel spot. Thanks Herbert!

Awesome experience!

My flight got in earlier than expected so I explained this to the front desk, expecting to have to pay an early check in fee,however they checked me in early with no fee.The whole check in process was so quick and easy and the staff are very friendly and helpful as well as the rooms are very neat and clean.I will definitely be returning to the herbert hotel!!

The Herbert hotel was perfect for our one night stay. It was close to the rental car office and walkable to lots of shops and restaurants. The downside was there was no mini-fridge for our cold food. I did like that we felt safe with the locked key front door. It was quiet and clean.

was disappointed with my stay. There was a shared bathroom, which was not mentioned clearly. The room had no ventilation, no towels, no proper cleaning, and no coordination between the staff. Overall, it was uncomfortable and not as expected.
