John, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This is a very nice hotel considering the price. The hotel is very clean, and the restaurant/bar is great. The staff are warm and friendly. But there was a lot of noise and yelling at all hours of the night, and our room was very warm without the heater on so we had to leave the window open. Overall, a good experience. I would stay here again, I’d just bring some noise-canceling headphones.
Jennifer, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This unassuming hotel on the edge of the Tenderloin was spotlessly clean and comfortable, and a very good value for a no frills budget hotel. Easy check in, a friendly staff, and a good location close to public transit means that I will stay there again.
Roy, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location.

Small room. Dated but expected. Friendly guy on counter. Close to Cable tram (go early to avoid the queue). Big bus stop close by. Powell BART station very close. Nice place to stop over night.
