10/10 Exceptional

Most convenient location, (3-5 minute BART walk) amazing price, clean amenities. I will always try to stay here.
Sean, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Chose the Hertbert hotel for a cost-efficient place to stay. Location was perfect and room was ok for the price but the thing that ruined our trip was staying beside a longtime resident who was yelling and laughing at all times of day and night. It was tiring and terrifying. We tried to get a different room but due to a huge conference happening in SF we could not do anything than put in our earplugs.
Annimari, 4-night trip

Philippe, 6-night trip

8/10 Very good

A real bargain in the off season ($75 USD/night). It is very bare bones, bathroom/shower down the hall, no room service and a small basic room but the bed was comfortable and it was quiet, and you can't beat the location...
Gordon, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Cleaned and great location for all types of excursions, food and shopping.
Andrea, 7-night trip

Rio, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It was exactly what we were looking for on our stay in San Francisco. Easy public transit to all the destinations we were interested in as well as good walking distance to shopping, dining and attractions.
David, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Walls are too thin

the walls are so thin that I could hear my neighbor's phone notifications, alarms, snoozes etc. there were knocks on the door at 5am, the light came on automatically at 6am, just a lot of disturbance early in the mornings.
Orin, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice Room! Close to stores, restaurants and public transportation.
DANIEL, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

we had three rooms and no one would rent there again. There’s no security, no service and anybody can walk in. Wall were dirty and the bathroom needed a better clean up too. Never again for us
