Bonne adresse, je recommande.
Pros:

Très bon emplacement. Chambre agréable, propre, fonctionnelle. Personnel courtois.

Cons:

Le petit déjeuner était moyen, mais ce n'est pas l'essentiel.
Un parking gratuit serait un plus.

Cons:

Unfortunately, my experience did not match what I expected from the hotel, especially after booking what they call the penthouse suite.

My biggest issue was the parking and valet situation. Valet costs $67 per night, but there is no dedicated attendant waiting outside. There are only about two or three spaces available for arriving vehicles, and everyone has to go inside and speak with the single person working at the front desk. That person may already be helping guests check in, so the entrance quickly becomes crowded.

Each time I needed my car, the hotel had to call the valet, and it took approximately 15 minutes for the vehicle to arrive. The wait itself was not my biggest concern, but for $67 per night, I expected a smoother and more convenient process. The valet also stops operating after 10 p.m., meaning you are on your own if you return later. Guests should plan their days carefully because quickly leaving for lunch, running an errand, returning, and then heading back out is much less convenient than it would be at a typical full service hotel.

My second major concern was the condition of the penthouse suite. I paid approximately $250 per night, so I understand that this was not an extremely expensive luxury suite. However, the photos felt somewhat misleading compared to the room I received. There were dirty footprints inside the jacuzzi, which made me uncomfortable using it.

The shower also had extremely low water pressure. The water was hot, but it barely flowed from the shower heads. There was visible calcium buildup, and the shower heads appeared to be long overdue for replacement. The most concerning part was that, once the water began collecting, a significant amount of long hair came up from the drain and began floating around the tub. I do not have long hair, so it was clearly left behind from a previous guest.

Those were the biggest issues during my stay. The parking setup and cleanliness of the bathroom made the experience feel less comfortabl

Pros:

Die Lage ist prima, fußläufig zu Chinatown und Unique Suare.

Cons:

Zu kleine Zimmer, kein warmes Wasser am letztes Abend bis zur Abreise am nächsten Morgen. Parkplätze sind angeblich verfügbar und müssen nicht reserviert werden, beim Einchecken teilte man uns mit, dass keine Parkplatz frei ist. Der Frühstücksraum ist viel zu klein.

Was great having reasonably priced accommodation for a city but could do with updating a few things.
Pros:

Hot drinks in the reception area were great. Were able to leave luggage in a luggage store a few hours before check in.

Cons:

Room was a bit cramped especially with 4 of us. Breakfast area very small and very slippy furniture. Also the use of disposable plates, bowls and cutlery was extensive.

Pros:

Price was decent, room was clean and overall experience is positive.
There is a good parking nearby "SFMTA - Polk Bush Garage". Overnight rate (in after 10PM - out by 9 PM) was only $10.

Cons:

TV was looked to watch only channels. We are in 2026, let people watch youtube.
No accessible plugs around bedroom.

Fijn hotel
Pros:

Erg netjes, bedden prima.
Vriendelijk personeel.
Er waren geen zwervers in de straat van het hotel.
Z. Huis op korte afstand niet wakker gehouden door sirenes.

Cons:

Grootte van de kamer, koffer moesten we op het bed leggen om er iets uit te halen.
Het parkeren van de auto werd door derden gedaan en voor twee dagen werd er 135 dollar afgetikt.
Dit wisten we niet van tevoren.

The hotel was great for what we wanted for a two night stay.
Pros:

It’s a lovely old building and the staff were friendly.
The bed was very comfortable!

Cons:

The room could have done with more plugs and some USB points. No where to put anything in the bathroom.
Sadly on the day we left there was no hot water.

Nice place and great value for money.
Pros:

We stayed here just for value and somewhere to wait until our flight in the morning. The place inside is really nice and the staff are friendly and helpful. The room was really nice.

Cons:

Only issue is drug addicts in the area outside but this isn’t the properties fault.

Décevant
Pros:

L’accueil à l’avant était super bon! Il nous a conseillé de bons endroits et nous a guidé.

Cons:

Chambre trop petite on ne pouvait même pas bouger ou ouvrir la valise, même chose pour la salle de bain trop petite. Lit très inconfortable. Localisation en plein centre-ville et nous sommes arrivés à minuit, les rues sont remplis de sans-abris (non sécuritaire). On voulait utiliser le services valet (qui était techniquement disponible), mais on nous a dit à l’accueil qu’il nétait plus là et qu’il faut stationner seul dans un parking à 3 rues de l’hôtel.
