A thousand quiet sighs and sights.
Pros:

Discretionary assuming nothing bothered.
Small grins A bit invisible for the realization of artwork to yet suddenly see. Ghosts of enthusiasm from a city of love. And then, the Real world as actually sense and colored. Nice quiet.
The lodging is work in progress as updated or streamlined . Nice location by eternal timesughts.

Cons:

Classic concerns by the irony of city with sights'
discretionary.

Overall if you’re just in town I
Pros:

I liked the price and the art style of the hotel. Liked the seating area behind the lobby since there were only beds in the room to sit on. Coffee tea and cocoa station were nice.

Cons:

The staff was not super friendly or approachable. Like a group of guy friends who got a hotel. We requested to check in early a month in advance- which they couldn’t accommodate- but he said they would text at 3pm with check in instructions and that someone would be there when we arrived back. Dropped our baggage in a closet with a code lock. We came back to the hotel at almost 4pm and had to call someone because they didn’t ever communicate or send a text. Then the guy just gave the door code on the phone without any confirmation of who we were. Which made me a little nervous about my belongings in that closet actually being secure. Also ice buckets but no ice machine but advised to “go to the bar” to ask and they would expect a tip was interesting.

Pros:

Tiene una buena ubicación.

Cons:

Los dispensadores de antibacterial de los baños compartidos estaban vacíos y uno de los amenities que nos ofrecieron estaba usado. Las habitaciones están comunicadas por lo que siente mucho el ruido del lado.

Great location, clean rooms, friendly staff. Only downside: shared bathroom.
Pros:

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The location was perfect for exploring San Francisco and visiting all the main attractions. The hotel was exceptionally clean, and everything was very well maintained. The staff were incredibly kind, friendly, and always available to help with anything we needed. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it!

Cons:

We had a very pleasant stay and felt comfortable throughout our time here. The only downside was that the bathroom was not ensuite and was located quite far from our room.

Charming and reflective of a bygone era.
Pros:

Great atmosphere, reminded me of my old SRO days. Attendants were polite and cleaning services were timely and kind. I loved being in an art decorated room, mine wasn't my favorite art but it was good and also it's a roll of the dice, so whatcha gonna do?

Cons:

I didn't love the shared bathroom, of course, but it was also not a surprise and I've done it before so it's fine. Shower is super small. I thought at first that the blankets were very light for cold Sam Francisco but the rooms get WARM and I don't even think I used the blankets in the end. No complaints, really but it seemed like I should write something.

Never booked again
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

The cleanliness of the room was terrible. While sleeping at night, I woke up because I felt cockroaches crawling on my arm; I turned on the light and there were cockroaches everywhere. It was awful—I had to leave the hotel at 2:30 a.m.
