Front desk staff was kind. Room was alright for price/location.
Room was a bit dusty and did not smell good.
Sheets were slightly torn.
Housekeeping did not come in a 7-day stretch.
Room faced other rooms so no natural light coming through.

This hotel itself is excellent. Was able to do an early check in and had a wonderful room on the 6th floor with a view. Staff were friendly and provided a great experience. Neighborhood was a bit sketchy but I would stay again. 5 Stars 👍

The surrounding blocks are rough but the property is fine if you just need a cheap place to stay. Rooms are clean. No complaints other than there's no place to sit except the bed. Like no chairs or even a stool. Bus stop right in front of the hotel. Just do your research if venturing out on foot and stay aware of your surroundings. Probably want to steer clear of the blocks directly east of the hotel day or night. Really nice empanada place one block west (Cafe Buenos Aires). If you are looking more to experience the neighborhood then probably take a star off from this review.

clean hotel, you get what you paid for. Super convenient to many food places and shops. Alot of homeless but if you mind your business they don't bother you. I will stay at this hotel again.

Large extremely clean room and bathroom, bed was very comfortable and there is a large walk in wardrobe. The building itself is old and in need of some renovation but there had been a start on this before we left. Staff was very accomodating and helpful.
The only slight negatives were we had to ask for room service, the bath was needing replacing, the room definitely needs a chair at the desk and the website stated there was coffee making facilities in the room but there were none.
The area has a lot of homeless but they keep themselves to themselves.
There are also quite a few nice eateries especially La Lafayette on Larkin Street for the best breakfast.
Overall I would recommend staying here for a clean comfortable reasonably priced visit

The stay was a very humbling experience. I tried to learn about where not to stay in SF and thought this was near the civic center and not the Tenderloin, but I was wrong. Even though there is thousands of homeless on the streets, it’s not the reason for 2 stars. When we arrived it looked like a abandoned building, then we found the entrance, we had no TV for the first night because they moved out s to another room but that room had no heat or air and a big hole in the wall covered by a trash bag, so we returned to room with broken tv. Later we discovered the shower didn’t work either. The room was clean but fire alarms were covered by plastic bags. Lucky we did get to venture and see San Francisco away from the tenderloin. I did see a sign that said Himanity had a good run. It made me look at myself and know that if I can help at least one person maybe we can bring humanity back!!

The room was clean and bed comfortable. The hotel is located toward the end of the Tenderloin district at the beginning of little Saigon. Just to let others know. I had no problems, but it can be a little uncomfortable to see homeless people outside the door of the hotel if you are not used to it. Little Japan and Nob Hill are within walking distance and very nice to visit.
Also, the staff were very friendly and helpful. Special note goes to the young man working the weekends who handled a difficult situation with the utmost respect and professionalism.

It was good and area well, it is what it is but it still has it's charm as I used to frequent the neighborhood from back in the day so I can understand how this neighborhood can have a full impact on travelers that are just coming here for the first time. Now on to the hotel that has just opened up a couple of months back this year so you should now hesitate to come check it out!
The new Motel 6 used to be called The Regency Inn from back in the day but then they dropped the name and renamed it to Motel 6 many years later which is nice.
It has its amenities that it offers such as free toiletries, heater, ceiling fan, hair dryer although couldn't find any in my room and the ironing board either but they could send it up if you call and ask. No complimentary breakfast at this time but they do have many stores and eateries in the area so do not hesitate to step out there to explore and check out! Just don't step out after dark but otherwise great stay so far despite of the noises that are coming from both outside and nextdoor as the couple has a German shepherd with them.

Property recently renovated. Rooms a bit small but nice, no AC however. Area outside is scary however many areas in San Francisco are scary with the homeless problem. Staff nice. Uber in/uber out and you will be fine

2 stars is generous. No heat. Nice TV on wall, was not connected. No desk help. No toiletries. Frightening neighborhood (I’ve felt safer in the slums of Rio).

If you want to get a taste of the slums then this is where you should stay. The carpets are dirty, the elevator is dirty with graffiti, one of the windows in our room would not stay open on its own so we had to prop it open with the ice bucket, the towel rods were missing from the wall in the bathroom, the bathtub in the room was peeling and old, there were many people who looked like drug addicts who seemed to live there.

Motel 6 is nice but the surrounding area isn't but this is my place of birth which is right here in the heart of the city. Now apart from the barking dogs that were barking all night and the TVs not working in some of the rooms on the 3rd floor it was quite alright and I will keep coming back to re-enjoy myself when I am in the Tenderloin area.
