The hotel offers clean and well-equipped rooms, though a bit of a walk to the rear part of the building initially. The service was exceptional, including a lovely gesture for a special occasion. The central location is convenient for exploring the city, but noise from local teenagers can be disruptive. The dining options vary from disappointing to satisfactory.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were clean and had a modern feel, but they were all charged differently which was a bit confusing. The staff was friendly, but the lobby area felt tiny and claustrophobic, giving an overall old vibe to the place. However, the cleanliness of the rooms and the white sheets and towels were top priorities for me, and the hotel delivered on that aspect.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the rooms provided a tired space for sleeping, the location in apparently the most dangerous neighborhood in San Francisco was concerning. The staff failed to warn about the area's dangers, just like my previous stay in December.

The hotel is situated in a perfect location, just half a block to the cable car and a block to the BART Station. The rooms, although average, were in good condition. The service was really accommodating and knowledgeable. The dining experience, despite being pricey, offered delicious options but had slow service. The location was fantastic for exploring and shopping, although it was not up to expectations for the price paid.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the rooms were very dated with a strong musty smell and a small bathroom, I appreciated the gesture of receiving a bottle of water from the receptionist when the drinks machines didn't work on my floor. The rooms were advertised as 300 square feet on several third-party websites, but that wasn't the case, which was a bit concerning.

During my stay, the rooms were spotlessly clean, but there was a lot of noise from the air conditioning unit nearby. The constant sound of people lugging suitcases up and down the stairs and rolling them past the room was a bit disruptive. The location was perfect for reaching most attractions on foot and close to downtown, with convenient access to the light rail and many tourist spots. The dining experience at The Daily Grill was a bit expensive due to parking costs, but I did receive a good discount at a local restaurant for breakfast. The service was not pleasant for a lengthy stretch of time, despite eventually being helpful. The facilities were adequate, but some room for improvement was evident.
