Geen slecht hotel, maar zeker geen aanrader.
Pros:

De eigenaar is aardig en er wordt op zich goed schoongemaakt.

Cons:

Ze kunnen er zelf niets aan doen, maar de locatie tussen zombies en herriemakers is echt niet fijn. We voelden ons niet onveilig, maar konden niet goed slapen. En de aanloop naar het hotel is niet prettig.

One of the worst hotels I've stayed in.
Pros:

The hotel is near the Main Street and the Market Street so it makes it easy to access via BART and Muni.

Cons:

There are:
- drug traffickers
- drug sale
- junkies


Lots of human feces, garbage. Right in front of the hotel door there are strip clubs right next door. The place is so bad that I can't even explain. The elevator doesn't work half the time. It is as bad as it can possibly get.

Pros:

Located very close to downtown, right beside Market St. so public transportation was easily accessible.

Cons:

Out of their control, but there were large gatherings of homeless people directly outside the door. They didn't cause any issues for me even being by myself, but just something to be wary of.

Pros:

Literally nothing.

Cons:

Terrible location, no warning. It is located in the "famous" 6th street which I learned about the it when I arrived at 1am. Be ready to stay with zombies especially at the evening. Saying "no safe" is not enough to describe the situation and there was no warning about it from the hotel.

Pros:

Cheap and very close to the venues I needed on Market street.

The staff person was very nice. He was helpful and understanding, although he wasn't clear as to why I was expecting to be able to let in after midnight when my flight got delayed.

Cons:

The area is FULL of homeless people, making it very noisy, very dirty, and very smelly. The check in process (completely unavailable after midnight, which wasn't disclosed over text until the day of arrival) makes no sense for such an area in which it can be dangerous to stay outside late.

Even though check in should be until 12 midnight, they ask for an extra fee after 11 pm (again, not disclosed until the day of arrival).

I am not sure what they mean by 24 hours security, but if the front desk is unavailable after midnight, and there is no hired security personnel on duty, I would not advertise this as 24 hours security.

Bathrooms were clogged and slightly dirty a few times.

Nice room but terrible location
Pros:

Room was clean and pretty accurate to what is shown in the pictures.

Cons:

The location is terrible. The street is completely owned by homeless people, and some of them are right in front of the door. It felt very unsafe

Pros:

Posizione ( soprattuttoper chi viene dallaeroporto con la BART), pulizia, staff disponibile, prezzo tra i più bassi della zona

Cons:

Sulla cauzione non effettuano la preautorizzazione, ma addebitano e riaccreditano, col rischio cambio: quindi ho perso 12 euro per nulla! Male. Non è tanto, ma ingiusto perché le condizioni dicono altro. Senzatetto in giro si tanti, ma non danno fastidio, semmai urlano e fanno rumore in strada anche in piena notte e si sente in camera, eccome.
