Do not recommend. Bad hygiene. Motel well located but very noisy and badly frequented. Unfriendly staff and very poor hygiene. We saw several cockroaches and dirty underpants in the room. The price was low but not worth it. Me and my friends do not recommend it.

Terrible experience I have never received my US$ 100 security deposit back, after staying for 2 nights. I could have stayed in a much better place for that price. I did not receive any answer, even after calling and sending several emails.

Hell on Earth! Take heed of the reviews - do NOT book!!! If you take heed of one review, please let it be this one - for your own sake. I stayed in this hotel for 6 consecutive nights in July 2023 so i think it is fair to say that my experience of this place is what you can expect if you book to stay here. I arrived on a Friday evening. I was travelling through California for a number of weeks on holidays and San Francisco was my last stop. On arrival there was lots of transient/homeless/addicts hanging around car park of the hotel. it appeared to be more of a motel than a hotel. The room was dark and dim and basic but it was fine. I'm used to staying in budget hotels while travelling. During my travels I do lots of full day trips/tours which require early starts. On my first night I went to bed at about 10pm as I had an early start. The person in the room above was making loads of noise. Stomping and banging around and what sounded like they were moving the furniture around the room. I waited a full hour and when the noise didnt stop I phoned to reception who contacted the room above me and the noise stopped. I was awoken the following morning (about 6am) by a very clearly homeless and addicted person banging on the door of a room across from me screaming to buy more drugs from the occupant. The exchanged carried on for quite a while with the occupant stating he had no more drugs to sell but the addict not believeing/accepting this. I again rang reception and explained what was happening. They phoned the occupant of the room which resulted in a further heated exchange between the homeless/addict person and the occupant. I could clearly hear everything. Shortly after this there was an explosive verbal bust up complete with threats of violence between a man and women who were occupants of another hotel room. The windows are single pane and the walls thin so you can hear everything in other hotel rooms all around you even if you are not directly connected to them. I was out all saturday and came home late saturday night and went to bed and slept. I went out early on Sunday morning for the day and came back that evening about 9pm. There was a party going on in the room above me complete with loud, vibrating music and lots of people talking and laughing. I rang the receptionist (who was very unhelpful and appeared begrudged that I phoned him with a complaint). Nevertheless he said he would call the room. The noise did not cease. I phoned again 15 mins later and the receptionist did not answer. I waited another while to see if the noise would stop - it didn't, it got worse. I got dressed and went down to reception. The receptionist was so unhelpful and rude and told me come back in the morning and speak to the manager. I went back to bed and after a further 30 mins of music that was vibrating the walls i went back to reception and demanded to be moved to a different room away from the noise. He told me I was very lucky as he had 1 room left. I noted that it was not lucking to have to move rooms due to noise at nearly midnight when I have a 5am start for a tour. The new room was ground floor and right on the street. There were honeless addicts outside making noise (althiugh not as loud as the party). The wifi only worked in half of the room. I didnt get a wink of sleep and had to get up at 5am. When i turned the shower on the water was cold. Lovely - a cold shower at 5am before a full days tour. I could not speak to the manager that day as i had to leave before he started work (at 10am) and was back at the hotel long after he finished work (at 4pm). I arrived back at 9.30pm. There was a homeless guy outside the door playing music on his phone. At this point I was so frustrated I went to reception and demanded to be moved room again, away from the ground and people makkng noise. I was moved to a third floor room. I got sleep that night - hurray! The following morning (Tuesday) i went to reception and spoke with the manager. I explained all of my issues with the hotel to him. He urged me to go online and look up the area of San Francisco the hotel is located and the "unique issues" this area faced. I pointed out that no where on his website (where he describes the hotel as charming and cosy) did he mention anything about homeless addicts freely congragating on the property of the hotel, drug deals going on from the rooms, cold showers, dodgy wifi and guests being allowed to have loud parties in their rooms. The manager offered to refund me 1 nights stay. I was not happy with this and said two nights would be more acceptable. However, he would not budge on this and would only refund 1 night. I accepted this as being better than nothing but was still unhappy. He later confirmed to me that he was checking the cctv and expelling the occupant who was selling drugs from the room. He also hightlighted that the hotel does not have security staff to monitor the homeless congragating on the property of the hotel and that staff can only contact the police if there are issues but he also fully acknowledged that the police rarely (if ever) respond on the day the report is made - if at all. The following morning (Wednesday) I got up early again for another tour - no hot water in the new room. Once again I was out all day at back that night after the manger had finished. I was also so exhausted from the trip and from having to complain about ongoing genuine issues every day that I couldn't motivate myself to go down and complain again. I decided to watch a movie on netflix on my phone. Low and behold the wifi kept cutting in and out making the movie unwatchable due to buffering (if you are wondering why I didnt use mobile data it's because i was travelling from Ireland and the rates to use data in the USA are astronomical. I gave up and went to sleep. Thursday morning (checkout day) i got up at 4am due to my flight being early. Once again, no hot shower for the 24 hours of travelling ahead to get home. When I went to reception to checkout the recpetionist knew nothing about the discount of one night that the manager had agreed to apply as the full cost was showing on his system. He advised me he would get the manager to look at this when he arrived to workbefore my card woukd be charged. I left. I am now at the airport awaiting my flight. I don't ever review accomodation or restaraunts or anything but I couldn't let this one go. In summary - book this hotel if you desire the following: No sleep due to other guests having parties. Drug deals going on in neighbouring hotel rooms. Homeless addicts freely hanging around the grounds of the hotel and calling to neighbouring hotel rooms and making noise at all hours. No hot water for showers. VERY dodgy wifi. No hotel security. Unsympathetic hotel staff who act as if you are inconveniencing them when you have a genuine complaint. Single pane windows and thin walls whereby you can hear EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING. Also in summary I had 3 mornings of cold showers, one night of complete deprivation of sleep, another 3 nights of interrupted sleep due to noise, 3 different hotel rooms, very unreliable wifi and mostly unhelpful/unsympathetic staff. Finally, most of the other people who stay at this hotel (and I do not mean to sound judgemental here) seem to people from the tenderloin (skid row) area of San Francisco who stay here when they can muster enough money to rent a room. Book at your peril. This is the worst hotel I have ever stayed on. Hell on earth is a generous description.

Great Affordable Hotel & Staff Great Hotel & Staff! I come to San Francisco often and its hard to find an affordable hotel. This place is authentic, they are who they say they are. Rooms are clean, Staff is accommodating and you can walk to restaurants, shops and public transportation. I highly recommend if you are not a picky traveler and just need a room for a couple nights without spending a fortune. Thank You SFC!

Do not settle Worst place I have ever stayed. Think you are getting your money’s worth? Think again. I rather pay extra than stay here. PLEASE trust the listed reviews and book elsewhere. My experience: foul smell, mold on shower floor, torn and rusted carpet, unsafe area overall.
