Would have stayed longer if I could
Pros:

The environment was very tranquil.
The facility was well managed
The room was extremely clean
The bed was very comfortable
The bathroom was well equipped
The amenities were appreciated

Cons:

Maybe my only suggestions wluld be that the bathroom might have some hooks that are not placed so high on the back of the door because I am only 5'4 and I couldn't reach up there to hang anything. The other issue that crossed my mind was that a rug or mat would be nice because the floor was very very cold on our feet

Mauvais souvenir de l hôtel sur tout notre séjour sur 5 hôtels

Quartier qui craint, le parking hors de prix, le coffre obliger de le bloquer avec la ceinture, odeur moisie, vue sur un mur’ petit déjeuner sur le bureau de l accueil et debout, les prises ne fonctionnaient cafetière branchée dans la salle de bain,

Dated bathrooms super expensive parking 4 o’clock check-in big ass deposit
Pros:

The pool

Cons:

The fact that they charge an exorbitant amount of money for parking it doesn’t matter if you’re a guest there or not and then they have a $300 deposit that I still haven’t got back. I supposedly it takes five days.

10/10 do not recommend
Cons:

The room smelled old, musty and mildly like mildew. Water pressure was low. Soap scum build up in the corners of the shower. The location is the worst area of San Francisco. Quiet hours do not exist. All hours of the day and night employees and guests are loud. Seems to be in the middle of a remodel. I’m not sure is my room had already been remodeled or not but either way it wasn’t worth the price. Bed was lumpy and uncomfortable. Half the light switches did not work.

Hot and uncomfortable
Pros:

Staff was helpful and sweet! Lobby was nice, unfortunately that’s kinda it lol

Cons:

Multiple things in my room were broken and/or defective. Somehow parking lot was always full even when spots were open. If you plan on using street parking, mind the area. Downtown is not a safe or clean space. Lack of AC made the entire hotel smell like hot breath. Window was broken had to use a trash can to prop it open. And someone took the fridge out of my room??? It’s kinda funny but also I fully thought a fridge would be provided since all the photos online showed mini fridges. Good chance I got unlucky and the guest before stole it lol
