The hotel offers decent accommodations at a bargain price, with clean rooms and a comfortable bed. However, the service leaves much to be desired, especially regarding staff attentiveness, and there are some significant issues with security that can't be overlooked. The shared bathrooms also need renovation, and the overall vibe feels a bit dingy.

I had a really disappointing stay at this hotel. The rooms were in terrible condition, and the overall cleanliness was shocking. On a positive note, we were there for a local event, so we had a great view of the parade. However, the lack of maintenance and care for guests made it hard to enjoy the experience.

I recently stayed at this hotel hoping for a budget-friendly option near a family member in the area, but it turned out to be quite the experience. The location was decent, and I found some good local restaurants nearby. However, the upkeeping of the hotel left much to be desired, especially in cleanliness standards, which was disappointing. Overall, it didn't meet my expectations for a comfortable stay.

The room I got was basic but had its own bathroom, which was a relief given the shared options; however, the sheets and pillows were stained, which was unsettling.

Staying here was a bit of a nightmare. The entrance was uninviting with steep stairs, and the rooms were far from clean. I had serious concerns about hygiene, especially with the issue of bed bugs. The parking situation was also frustrating, making this place not a great value after all.

I decided to take a last-minute trip to San Francisco and ended up staying at what seemed like the cheapest option available. Unfortunately, that led to a pretty terrible experience. While the location had its perks, like being close to the Mission District and a great coffee shop, the hotel itself was really falling apart with unclean communal bathrooms and poor staff service. I'd definitely say this was not worth the price I paid.

Rooms

The room was basic and clean enough, but it got incredibly hot during the day. I was especially concerned when I returned to find my door wide open after room service had been in.

The location in the Mission District was a highlight, with access to vibrant street art and good local coffee shops. However, it didn't make up for the hotel's issues.

I had an interesting stay at this hotel. While it offered excellent value for a clean and basic experience, I couldn't overlook the neighborhood's unsettling vibe. The rooms had a certain charm, albeit quite outdated, but the staff was there to assist when needed. Overall, if you're looking solely for an affordable place to crash, this might work, but be prepared for the surrounding area.

My stay was quite a mixed bag. The neighborhood had its charm, but the hostel itself was not clean or comfortable at all. I encountered serious issues with cleanliness, including bed bugs, which made it a nightmare. Though the area had some great spots to see, I wouldn't recommend this place at all due to my unpleasant experience.

This hotel offers a low price and is newly renovated, which is definitely a plus. However, the experience was marred by some serious issues, including safety concerns in the neighborhood. Overall, I felt very uneasy during my stay and wouldn't recommend it if you're looking for a peaceful night's sleep.

My recent stay had a few ups and downs. The room was surprisingly decent, especially compared to other parts of the hostel, which felt quite dingy. The staff were hit or miss, and service could have been a lot better. The location had its charm with some great restaurants around, but it felt a bit sketchy in spots. Overall, if I return, I’ll probably look for something a bit nicer to feel more comfortable.
