Pros:

Hotel un pò datato ma vicinissimo alla fermata Powell della Bart che porta direttamente all'aeroporto. Vicino anche a Union Square e al capolinea del Cable Car. Per chi ama camminare comunque a piedi si possono raggiungere le principali attrazioni quali il quartiere cinese e Fisherman Wharf. Possibilità di colazione al bar a fianco dell'hotel. La stanza era pulita e lo staff disponibile.

If they don't charge for parking then it is value for money in the given price else it is expensive.
Pros:

Rooms were small for two double bed arrangement. The toilet was small and looks worn out. There was no drinking water provided and one vending machine is there to get drinking water at high cost.

Cons:

Room decor can be better. The curtains were not working, we could not draw curtains complete. TV is small and there is no way to cast your mobile to the TV.

For the price it is worth it.
Pros:

The hotel is clean and the housekeeper is very good in cleaning the room and the bathroom. It felt safe since the hotel front door has been unlocked using your card key. It is also near, about 3 mins walk, to the train stations and 20 minutes walk to chinatown.

Cons:

Air conditioning unit is not strong enough. Ventilation will be really good if fans are installed.

Baddest hotel experience ever
Pros:

Norhing unfortunately

Cons:

During our stay, we experienced multiple issues:
Excessive noise, requiring us to change rooms.
The rooms were outdated and poorly maintained.
Dirty carpets and an unpleasant smell in the rooms.
Hair and dirt were present in the bathtub upon arrival.
The main light in our children's room stopped working - we could not switch it off anymore - difficult to sleep with the lights on.
The surrounding area felt less safe than expected.
Overall, the hotel did not provide the quality we reasonably expected considering the price we paid.
We would like to emphasize that the hotel staff were friendly and tried to assist us by.
