Non ci tornerò
Pros:

Posizione abbastanza centrale

Cons:

Il bagno era veramente pessimo. Non c’era neanche il lavandino che si trovava solo in camera da letto.
La camera da letto vecchissima e piccolissima.
Per il check in bisogna scaricare un app specifics rendendo tutto complicato e lento.
Prezzo decisamente fuori dal comune per questo servizio.

Séjour agréable mais sans plus
Pros:

Cet hôtel est idéalement situé à San Francisco pour un prix très abordable, c'était pratique pour découvrir la ville. Les parties communes étaient très propres après le passage de la femme de ménage qui est très efficace et sympathique. Notre chambre a été faite tous les jours, avec serviettes propres tous les jours. La chambre est petite mais suffisante et confortable pour quelques nuits.

Cons:

Malheureusement, une salle de bain partagée implique de devoir faire avec le savoir-vivre des uns et des autres. Lors de notre séjour, nous avons systématiquement dû laver la baignoire avant de nous doucher le soir, car celle-ci était souillée de poils, cheveux et produits cosmétiques. Idem pour les toilettes qui ont souvent été bouchés. Ce n'est pas de la responsabilité du personnel (la femme de ménage était top), mais c'est à savoir avant d'y séjourner. Nous avons également regretté qu'il n'y ait pas de plaques de cuisson dans la cuisine, il n'est donc pas possible de cuisiner à moins de n'utiliser que le micro-ondes et la bouilloire. Enfin, il n'y a pas de personnel sur place pour vous accueillir, tout se fait de manière autonome, ce qui est pratique à l'arrivée, mais qui n'est pas optimale sur la durée du séjour. Une connexion internet est nécessaire pour activer la clé de votre chambre. Il faut systématiquement son téléphone pour accéder à la chambre, ce n'est pas le plus pratique.

Pros:

Emplacement en centre ville dans un quartier animé avec plein de restaurants. Proche du city hall et de painted ladies. Proche du métro civic center un plaza. Cuisine commune à disposition pour mettre nos courses au frigo ou réchauffer au micro-ondes. Serviettes fournies savon shampooing également

Cons:

Personnel non présent sur place. Tout se fait à distance. Très Mauvaise insonorisation de la chambre dans un quartier animé ( si votre sommeil est léger mieux vaut éviter ) et le lit est petit

Loved it - would stay here again when I am in SF.
Pros:

Amazing location. The room and the shared bathroom/WC was clean at all times and well appointed. The shared kitchen\dining was bright, spacious, sufficient seating and I really enjoyed the view from there of the bustling street below.

Cons:

The kitchen could have been better equipped - Freshly brewed coffee would have been nice. There were also no knives or scissors provided. Either a hob or an oven would have helped to bake a frozen pizza.
Once the openkey app did not function and had to be reset but the housekeeping staff was nearby to quickly resolve the problem.
