Normalito
Pros:

Si lo coges con tiempo tiene buen precio

Cons:

El desayuno es muy muy escaso, no tiene nada caliente. Y si la habitación da a la calle principal tienes bastante ruido porque hay una discoteca justo debajo.

Basisvoorzieningen aanwezig in een schoon hotel!
Pros:

Hotel ruikt erg fris! Badkamer zeer schoon en kamer is netjes.

Cons:

Het hotel ligt helaas in een wijk die slecht bekend staat. Er is veel drugsgebruik en mensen slapen op straat.
Maar, het hotel is gelegen aan het begin van de straat, en bij oversteken van de kruising is de wijk netjes.
We voelden ons niet onveilig. Wel is het jammer dat zo'n middenklasse hotel door de ligging en naamsbekendheid vn de wijk waarschijnlijk tegenvallende boekingen krijgt, dit is echt niet nodig.

Pros:

The property is really bad , the passage carpets are totally smelly, even breathing is very difficult in the passage as well as in the room there is no fresh air. The front desk people were not at all supportive as well as the break fast were very bad. Never book the property. The exit of the hotel were engaged with drunken people. The AC is just above the bed and it is difficult to sleep in the bed with AC on

Honest Aussie Review
Pros:

Friendly staff. Free breakfast had everything you needed. We were able to check in earlier which we really appreciated. Room was a decent size with a comfy bed & very clean. Location was walkable to lots of main attractions and many public transport options.

Cons:

Breakfast hours could be extended as only a 2hr time period. Also, always a long wait for the toaster as there was only one & there was no explicit sign to show how to toast bagels so people were re-toasting multiple times in a row. Area was a little sketchy outside hotel due to homelessness.

Great value and centrally located. Easy to reach with included breakfast
Pros:

Great value hotel easily reachable by BART train in SF Powell stop

Cons:

Area is a bit rough; don’t stay out too long at night. If you have small children with you I would avoid going out past a certain time entirely
