Amazing overall!
I really enjoyed our stay here! Yes the train might be an issue if you are a light sleeper but it wasn’t too bad! The room was nice and clean! Front desk people were so sweet! I felt safe leaving during the day and walking around Jack London so beautiful with nice views! Took the ferry to San Fran, went to the fox theatre did a lot of nice things while our stay!

Excellent overall for their economic pricing
Trains run right in front of the hotel, and since their track is on the road, they honk whenever they pass by to alert people on the road. I was woken up five times a night, but I was so tired that I fell back to sleep five times. This isn't the hotel's fault but it's worth noting. Ear muffs are recommended. However, with their pricing for a private room plus restroom in SF, I would come again.

There’s a reason it’s low priced.
TV very limited channels and difficult remote to use with no instructions provided. No towel replacement over a 4 night stay. Shower hot water not functional (room temp at best). Common areas quite shabby, room dated but in decent condition. Minimalist continental breakfast. Regular train crossing and train horn noise (24-7) so not for light to moderate sleepers. Decent food and drink options nearby.

Stay away from this place
Terrible. Loud neighbors. Services were nonexistent and rude. We were going to be charged $25 extra dollar for showing up 5 minutes early. Uncleaned rooms and hallways meant like poop and smoke.

I was actually shocked. It was a pretty decent room for the price. Just too much smoke in the hallway, but the room was cute and comfy.
