The good, the bad, the ugly. ”

The good: close walk (~1.5 miles) to either Fisherman's Warf or to Union Square which means easy access to entertainment such as Pier 39, Big Bus tours, Alcatraz, Chinatown, Coit Tower, Lombard Street, and the old time Trolley rides. Great food options in the area, especially along Polk Street, which the hotel is on the south end of. The room was unexpectedly VERY quiet despite the hustle of downtown traffic and activity. The bad: hotel's bed was cheap and squeaky, and the shower head produced a small, slow stream of water. So one less star rating on the facility. The ugly: not the hotel's issue, but it's in an area of town where there are lots of homeless and trash on the streets. With that said, the homeless folk never once bothered us or panhandled etc. And if you don't intend to walk 4-5 miles each day to visit the tourist sites, including hills, then you may want to stay closer to the pier.

Old room not recommend at all in rhe internet page they offer parking, refrigerator,hair dryer but at the end nothing we had to pay $32 for parking in a near parking garage the room was in a very bad shape they didn't even had doors for the closet. The bathroom shower was dripping water everywhere honestly I don't recommend this hotel at all and also our view was the buildings next door haha they had a party all night and we could sleep at all because it was really noisy.. We call to complain about everything that was wrong and the person in charge was supposed to come to us and gave us another room but never showed up so we had to stay there because we had kids and couldn't be moving to another hotel because they were sleeping and also a lot of homeless people around the streets smell horrible

Hotel is old, dirty carpet, elevator super old ”

I booked through Agoda and requested a room for 4 people 2 adults and 2 kids, between the options they gave me they had one labeled Queen room so I thought was a room with queen beds, it saids you could fit 2 adults and 2 kids, when I arrived there was a room with just ONE queen bed for 4 of us, so either the description was wrong which Agoda told me it was correct or they fooled me because it was non reimbursable. So I ended paying for an upgrade for a double bed room which costed in total the same as on really ggod hotes.They said they hace parking thats another lie ther is parking on the street, you will end up paying $20 for 12 hours which is a cost you should add into the advertised cheap hotel price. Regretful of choosing that hotel totally. Go with Aibnb not Agoda.

It’s definitely got a rep...”

Reading the reviews for this place was some of the most fun I’ve had on Agoda in years. No joke... check them out! It’s all polarized! This said, I didn’t find the place that bad. It’s classic downtown San Fran architecture, which means a bit old. The WiFi is weak in the rooms. And the elevator that scares the bejeezus outta everyone is great—it’s an old school one that jolts after the wooden door slides shut. We loved it! Staff was also cool, helpful and friendly. The homeless thing isn’t only an issue here. There are lots of homeless people in San Fran, but they aren’t dangerous. I even stopped and chatted some of these guys up, listened to some wacky life stories. Not recommending it... just saying, I only felt unsafe immediately after having arrived. It’s not super, but it’s also not that bad. Just a tad overpriced, but then it is San Francisco...
