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.

It worked out. Good location- worth going back just for that.
Pros:

The location

Cons:

The scavenger hunt with getting into the room. I'm too old for a reverse escape room.

Overall you get what you pay for so it was an average stay for a great price in a pretty good location with lots of food
Pros:

Great location and price

Cons:

Loud street noise/people being on street with lots of bars and restaurants and some homeless. Shower needs to be cleaned. Bed didn’t feel stable and slightly hard. Kitchen fridge water filter was broken, water jug was empty.

Overall happy with the stay.
Pros:

I like the location of the hotel. The bathroom and shower room being outside is definitely a bit inconvenient and not private. Otherwise, good value given the convenient locations. A bit noisy since there are a few popular restaurant and bar just downstairs.

Cons:

A bit noisy. Bath and WC room outside shared.
