The room was small but very clean. Check in was easy. I liked the old elevator. The walls were paper thin and I heard everything from every direction surrounding me. There is no AC and no screen in the windows. That's to be expected in SF hotels and all of this considered, it's a great deal for the money. What I didn't expect was the somewhat shady clientele at the hotel. I was awakened in the very early morning by police and paramedics outside my door with another person who was staying at the hotel, shouting about self-harm and "5150-ing" the person. It was extremely frightening to hear this exchange at 1 AM. There is also no phone in the room to verify with the front desk that security was alerted and it made me feel extremely unsafe that the entry to the door was by key, easily broken into, or a copy made, particularly in light of the apparent clientele.
