If you need a good nights rest then this hotel is NOT For you. The traffic is loud at night as are the other guests and the walls are paper thin. No air conditioner in the room (that's a first from my experience), the front desk staff was very unfriendly, the room was small. Homeless people all around the area and I was worried that my car would be broken into. In fairness the room was clean which surprised me based on the people outside and the general area. It also lowered my appreciation of San Francisco seeing that area. I was always told it was such a nice city but this area leaves me with a bad impression.

Positives: The room itself was clean.

Negatives: Front desk person was not friendly, no air conditioner, loud traffic at night. Homeless people all around.

This place was disgusting.

Positives: Nothing.

Negatives: They did not even have a closet to hang our clothes. We draped them over the TV cabinet.

I had a good time in San Francisco, the hotel was in a good location for me. I liked the staff once I was there, but on the phone I had a hard time understanding them and they me. But it was all fine and they were friendly, polite and helpful. The area around it, for maybe a block around, is a little run down. I was ok with it, I didn't care but some would. I found it to close to a lot of fun things. They didn't have air conditioning in all the rooms and some rooms are tiny. They did need to throw some broken TVs away they crowded the hall. But I only needed a clean room, bed, shower and somewhere to drop my luggage.

Positives: It was a good budget hotel for a collage student.

Negatives: Maybe a little scary for some, I know friends that wouldn't of stayed here.

The hotel staff was very pleasant but the location did not feel very safe. We heard a loud noise that sounded like a shot gun and women screaming. I was afraid to go out at night even with my 250lb boyfriend. I will not be staying in this Podunk, crack head infested part of town again. But it was close to the bus.

Positives: Close to bus system but I think any hotel in that city was.

Negatives: In the middle of Podunk town! Crack heads everywhere!

Overall a good place for the money. It's very conveniently located to public transport so you can get to the sites of San Fran. Also, there are plenty of restaurants nearby. To me, the surrounding area wasn't that bad but then again I'm a former Peace Corps Volunteer and have seen far worse. I'll just say that it has a lot of character.

Positives: High speed internet access!

Negatives: Room is kind of small.

The hotel is centrally located in downtown San Francisco and is really close to all attractions and mainly to Market Street which is the heart of Frisco. Accommodation is decent and rooms are neat and as long as you know what you are getting into (not over expect) then its good. We were mainly there for sightseeing and used the hotel only to crash at night. If you are someone who is looking for a relaxing room with great food and room service it is not the place for you. Only bad thing is that neighborhood is not that great if you are walking after 10 pm at night. Bottom line: Hotel is safe, cheap and close to attractions.

Positives: Located in the Heart of Frisco, walk able distance to Market street.

Negatives: Hotel is good and safe but surrounding neighborhood has a lot of homeless people around.

I will not go back to this hotel.

Positives: Relatively inexpensive.

Negatives: Noisy, inconvenient facilities, ignored request for K/Q Bed.
