Pros:

The price was right. The neighborhood was great.

Cons:

The room smelled musty. I hated that the bathroom is not part of the room. I hated that I needed a key to the bathroom and shower. Although that made it safe, it was inconveniant.

Pros:

Nothing. The photos online are completely fake. It had absolutely no lobby, the walls are not freshly painted blue... it is gross carpet, terrible smell. It is in a very bad neighborhood. The room was had the absolute dirtiest window i have ever seen. blood on the sink, the lights on the night stands had cut cords... no plug in. So no lights except in the bathroom. I did not stay. I returned the keys after 10min.

Cons:

Everything. Fake advertising. Not a good neighborhood, not clean. No lights as the cords were cut!?! Blood on the sink. Absolute not a place to stay

great location and great price.
Pros:

Some of the hosts were friendly but some were not and didnt bother to greet me.

Cons:

Light fixture and bathroom vents need to be cleaned! Could be cleaner and less dusty. Bedroom mattress was ok but could be firmer.

You get what you pay for; It is an affordable, convenient, & safe place to rest. Not more, not less.
Pros:

The location is convenient -- I came to SF for a wedding at SF City Hall, which was only a few blocks away. Lots of cute cafes nearby too, and nothing too out of the ordinary in terms of, say, urban homeless/transient populations. Room was clean, given the age of the building. Front desk staff were really friendly.

Cons:

You really gotta look at your reservation; Some rooms have private bathrooms IN your room. Others, like the one I had at this stay, have bathrooms available for all the guests on a certain floor. But I never had to wait for my turn and the bathrooms were very clean. But maybe bring sandals/flip-flops to walk back yo your room. It's also worth noting that my room did NOT have a fridge or microwave. (Luckily, there was a 24-hour cafe nearby.) Internet was sometimes laggy, but I was still able to have a 3-hour zoom meeting at this location with minimal problems.

Pros:

Location is close to underground rail and tram stops, though perhaps not great to walk after dark. The room was sparsely furnished but clean.

Cons:

Bed was comfortable, though very high (on a deep base?), making it a challenge for a shorter person to get into. Would have liked at least a chair in the room, though it would have been tough to fit one in. Probably not ideal for longer stays, or if you need to work from your room at any point.

An extremely great deal for a last-minute budgeted stay.
Pros:

Room, albeit small, was extremely nice and clean. Bathroom was exceptional given the location, size of the room, and the commonality of communal bathrooms in SF hotels made this an extremely pleasant stay.

Cons:

Room was not entirely wheelchair accessible due to the small size. Wheelchair would not fit more than 10 feet into the room as the bed blocked its path.

a very safe hotel and clean, good locking systems, bed was comfy and rooms clean
Pros:

The location was excellent, housekeeper fantastic making the beds every morning, very safe locking systems on main door and rooms.

Cons:

A little inconvenient as regards to my bathroom and shower and to get up during the night to visit when my bathroom wasn't in my room

Pros:

The room itself was very clean. However, we were not informed in advance that the toilet and shower facilities were not located inside the room. Instead, the toilet and bathroom were separate from each other and required keys to access. This arrangement was unexpected and made our stay uncomfortable.
Lastly, there was no parking available, and there was no ice provided.
