I usually don't need much other than a place to sleep and a clean bathroom when we visit SF, since we're out and about. However, the two rooms we booked - one was for my husband and I, the other for our parents - were both poorly maintained. I don't know if it's the sheets, the mattress, or the pillows, but the beds had a strong odor of either feet or cup ramen seasoning. On top of that, we both had to have our keys reactivated when we returned since they didn't work after we left to explored the city. Both rooms also didn't have a working TV. My parents were persistent and eventually had someone come fix it past midnight, we weren't that interested. My parents found trash underneath their bed when checking out and making sure nothing got left behind, meaning poor cleaning/maintenance. And on top of that, the poor attitude from the front service staff. Unless you want the same conditions and walls so thin you hear everyone stomping or yelling from their rooms, I would honestly recommend a different place or like a motel 6. I've stayed at some pretty run down places to accommodate a budget, but this is one I would definitely not come back to unless they fix their smelly bed issue and the water in the shower which goes from warm to scalding randomly.

The man at the counter Bill was great but everything else was terrible and not somewhere i would recommend. The beds were heavily stained, the blankets were cleary not washed because they had multiple spots with stuff still stuck to them. When getting our stuff together to leave we looked to make sure our stuff was not hidden and found an alcoholic drink container under the bed. When we requested new blankets, Bill himself had to go get them because staff didnt bring them up to us like we were told. The room itself was a non smoking room but smelled like smoke. The bathroom was not clean and had hairs stuck to the curtain/ wall of the shower as well as a mildew smell. Not in the cleanest area either.

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.
