Categories

Cleanliness
6.5
Mixed but concerning: several reviewers reported poor hygiene (dirty bathroom, clogged drains, and even hair/plastic found in food), while others specifically said rooms were very clean. Overall cleanliness is below average due to the reported serious incidents.
Service
9.8
Generally praised: many guests called staff friendly, attentive (offering bottled water, helpful reception), and welcoming; however there are isolated but notable complaints about uncommunicative or difficult staff and limited responsiveness at the front desk. Overall service skews strongly positive.
Location
10
Consistently excellent: multiple reviewers highlight a central, extremely convenient location for sightseeing and easy access to attractions — repeatedly noted as a primary strength.
Room Quality
9.1
Mostly very good: many guests reported clean, comfortable rooms and beds; a few mentions of dated rooms and a subpar tub/shower. Overall rooms are well-regarded with occasional maintenance/age issues.
Amenities
9.6
Strong amenities: positive mentions of the lobby, fountain at the entrance, bar, remodeled property and complimentary touches; parking is available but described as pricey by some.
Value for Money
8
Mixed: several guests found pricing reasonable for location and quality, while others noted premium charges (e.g., during Tech Week) and an instance of being oversold. Value leans positive but has clear exceptions.
Food and Beverage
6.5
Below average with variability: multiple complaints about breakfast quality (not fresh, limited choices) and serious hygiene incidents (hair/plastic in food), though some guests reported acceptable breakfast experiences.
Overall Experience
8.5
Aggregate impression: many guests would return and praise location, rooms and friendly staff, but notable hygiene and intermittent service/operational issues lowered some stays. Net experience is positive but uneven.

Definitely a place i’d return to
Pros:

Incredible location, you’re 5min away from anything. Loved the lobby plenty of space to work and also get some food. The fountain at the entrance definitely plays a role when you arrive and leave the property.

I’ve stayed in almost every hotel in SF and this one definitely is one I’d return to gladly.

Staff would also make sure we are hydrated every time we’d pass the reception they would hand us bottles of water
