Historical Hotel a great bargain!
When we arrived, the most stressful part was trying to figure out where to park. The hotel offers parking for $30/day but unless you know where to go its a little confusing because you have to drive around the block, pull up to gate and wait for them to buzz you in. The hotel was really cool although a bit dated. At over 100 yrs old it was neat to see the craftmanship that went into building it. The staff was very friendly and we enjoyed our stay. For the price it was a great bargain! My only complaint was I had to shove a washcloth in drain to take a bath. Its located in the heart of SF so be prepared to see things you may not be used to. We never felt unsafe and enjoyed walking around the city.

5th floor room was not representative of pictures posted. Shabby carpeting. Probably reflected by price, but still, possibly lower floors updated already.

Overall it was good. It had a vintage feel and was clean. The bed was comfortable. Parking was inconvenient and we couldn't even figure out how to get in the first night. However, we called the hotel and they were really helpful. There was no shampoo or conditioner and the vending machines were broken. The area the hotel is in is not the best. There was graffiti and homeless camps a street over. However, the property is under 24 hour surveillance and I felt safe when we were on the hotel.

I love the old Art Deco building and the interesting room from 1930s, however, the place is shabby--not a 3-star hotel. Although this is the border of the Tenderloin, good location with dining locally. The room was cold (old fashioned radiator only on infrequently), the carpet dirty, the furniture antique. Three miniscule pillows on a king-sized bed and took 48 hours to get two extras. The shower luke-warm at best. Wanted to like this old place, but won't return.

Can’t beat this location.
This hotel is all about location. It’s an older facility with limited amenities, but the staff is super helpful and the rooms are comfortable. It’s near EVERYTHING. I definitely plan to stay here again.

The hotel is too old. You can walk and hear the wood floors cracking. No water pressure, the elevator is not working properly. Parking is too expensive.
