It was located near Tenderloin and Soma, and that is crazy place. Do not recommend for single travellers.

Comfortable room, very spacious, bathroom is small. Very loud early morning, rattling of doors but otherwise good for price. Area feels safe.

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.

I love the old Art Deco building and the interesting room from 1930s, however, the place is shabby--not a 3-star hotel. Although this is the border of the Tenderloin, good location with dining locally. The room was cold (old fashioned radiator only on infrequently), the carpet dirty, the furniture antique. Three miniscule pillows on a king-sized bed and took 48 hours to get two extras. The shower luke-warm at best. Wanted to like this old place, but won't return.

Can’t beat this location.
This hotel is all about location. It’s an older facility with limited amenities, but the staff is super helpful and the rooms are comfortable. It’s near EVERYTHING. I definitely plan to stay here again.

The hotel is too old. You can walk and hear the wood floors cracking. No water pressure, the elevator is not working properly. Parking is too expensive.

Horrible experience, when we arrived there were no clean towels in our room, no hot water. We left early. Morning to go see the city and when we arrived back to our room in the evening the front desk clerk had allowed a complete stranger into our room. The stranger had been drinking and gone through our stuff. The clerk didn't kick the stranger out, just gave us another room. Parking was a additional $60 was a very scary experience. I would like to request a refund cause we felt very unsafe

Neighbourhood is quite rough, especially in two directions from the hotel. Room had no A/C and having the window open didn’t do much but allow the noise in. Even though it wasn’t hot outside, the room was too warm. If you have a car, parking is limited and expensive. Room had minimal power points. It did have plenty of drawers for clothes and a walk in wardrobe.
