This place is in tenderloin and a lot of homeless hangs around right at front. While i survived, i realized i should have read the reviews. It’s a relatively inexpensive place. Next to Bart train so that’s why I got it. But the location and surrounding really sucks. The room smells and the bed has blood stains… get what you pay for… would not recommend.

Both hotel and expedia are terrible. I've been charged twice and hotel told me to contact expedia and expedia told me to contact hotel. After all expedia told me go and pay hotel directly and next morning I will get refunded from expedia. Next day expedia wrote me that it is non refundable and they kept my money. Avoid both expedia and this hotel as they both are terrible. 0 stars

The photos of the hotel are not accurate. The rooms do not look like that at all. Absolutely filthy conditions in the room and in the bathroom. Beware they charge you a $20 deposit when you get there. When I went to check out early in the morning, no one was in the lobby And I had to leave. So I did not get my $20 back. The sidewalk outside of the hotel is packed with homeless people with trash, The and urine everywhere. Dirty bedding, holes in the walls, terrible odors throughout the entire building. Do not stay at this property!

I stayed here for Folsom Weekend. I made it to the hotel around 6:30pm & my room still wasn’t ready. There was no nearby parking & the entrance was blocked by homeless people. The pros of this hotel: close to public transportation, lots of things in walking distance & if you’re in town for Folsom Street fair it’s walking distance. I go to 24hr Fitness & there was a gym within walking distance. Cons: No guests, I was not informed of this “rule” until the 2nd day of my stay. Again, I was in for FSF weekend so this added a damper. Homeless people, the perimeter of the hotel is blocked by homeless people which is intimidating & made me feel unsafe at times. Shared bathroom, the bathroom at the end of the hall of the 3rd floor was terrible. The outlets didn’t work, the toilet is extremely close to the shower & there was no one to but my toiletries. Can clearly hear neighbors, the way my window was positioned I was about to hear my neighbors conversations as clear as if they were speaking directly to me. Dirty towels, my towels were dirty & had black spots No ac No extra lock, there’s no extra lock attachment No parking No rack to hang towels, they provide a sink in the room but there’s nowhere to hang towels or clothes No one replaced my trash during my 4 day stay

I booked 3 hotels on this site. The first 2 hotels looked like a good deal until we were told we had to share a bathroom with other hotel residents and were located in the worst part of the city. Transients were piled up in front of the property and up and down the street. I was afraid to get out of the car since most of them were arguing with themselves while mucus spewed from their noses and mouth. The advertisement did not include sharing a bathroom. Horrible is an understatement.

Never again

The room was absolutely disgusting and I really want a refund. The guy at the front desk literally told me that “the room isn’t disgusting, but you should lower your standards” there were stains all over the bed. And the floor was sticky, and most of the furniture was broken. Ended up just driving home because you couldn’t sleep there. Also check in was at 3 but was told we couldn’t go to the room until it was cleaned at 6pm

Staying here was a terrible mistake. The staff were extremely rude, and the entire property was old and filthy. Our bed sheets had holes in them, and the room had a strong, unpleasant odor. The bed was uncomfortable and made constant noise, making it nearly impossible to sleep through the night. The walls are extremely thin — you can clearly hear people taking showers, climbing the stairs, and even loud noises from the street throughout the night. The lack of sound insulation made the stay even more unpleasant. To make matters worse, it took us almost 30 minutes to check out in the morning because the front desk was closed. After a long wait, someone finally emerged from a back room, clearly just waking up and still yawning — and this was at 9 a.m.
