Avoid Disturbing Your Neighbor
Pros:

This hotel is not staffed aside from the cleaning staff. Access to the property and room is via pin and QR codes. It took us a minute to figure it out. Being seniors, we were not as comfortable with this type of access. The location is fantastic.

Cons:

Walls and doors are thin, so sound travels freely between rooms. Talk in whisper and take your shoes off so as not to disturb your fellow occupants.

Rustig, comfortabel verblijf op fijne locatie in leuke buurt van San Francisco
Pros:

De locatie, de rustige en comfortabele lobby en de vriendelijke huishouding.

Cons:

Het digitale incheckproces verliep wat moeizaam. Uiteindelijk hebben we een ‘echte’ sleutel gekregen, dat ging prima.

Prima hotel, toplocatie
Pros:

Locatie was ideaal, ondanks geen personeel werd er wel een appje gestuurd of het beviel.

Cons:

De ramen zijn dusdanig dun, dat het lijkt alsof ze open staan. Niet handig aan een straat waar elke ochtend om 5 uur in de ochtend het vuilnis wordt opgehaald. Verder kan het grote licht alleen aan als de waaier ook aan staat, waardoor het ijskoud wordt in de kamer
Geen personeel

Lovely place but needs attention
Pros:

Location. Lobby is comfortable. Large bathroom. Comfortable bed

Cons:

The plants in the planter boxes and containers are all dead. It used to be so inviting and lovely. Nothing worse than arriving at your hotel and seeing all the dead plants. There was a lot litter and garbage in front of the hotel. It needed to be picked up because it was blowing all over the sidewalk. It was not a good look. There was nowhere to plug in our cell phones. Power strips are needed next to the bed

Awful
Pros:

Location was great!

Cons:

The 100% digital check in was very confusing. Our room was very small and the shower was tucked into the corner with the shower door open to the rest of the room. The shower also didn’t work so we had to leave without being able to shower because there was no one onsite to fix it.

Won't stay again unless i for sure know we'll get the same favorite room we like, less than <$500
Pros:

We've stayed here before, twice, both times in the same room. THe location awesome.

Cons:

The OpenKey app wasn't working so we had to use the physical keys which would always get stuck etc. For the price and the room, we were disappointed at the room accommodations (accessible double bed room). Wasn't expecting that, was hoping for the room we usually get, a corner, i think with bay window/seat, king bed, but it might've also been my oversight in my rush to book. Was just hoping that the other rooms would be of the same charm. The ceiling fan was noisy, the bathroom vent sounded like a cow giving birth, haha. And of course the foot / motor traffic being right on the front ground floor, but that's to be expected.
