I travel regularly in USA for business purpose and am used to go in unpersonnal hotels or motels. The Jay's room is very friendly and large regarding the standard for medium range price. You have a shared bathroom for 3 or 4 rooms but it was always available when I was here. Of course if you have a noisy neighbour the walls are very thin and you can be disturbed as if the person was in your own room ! But for me, I had a quiet neighbour and I was myself being careful. The sliding door is really hard to open and close but I had to do it only twice a day ! There is no possibility to lock the door but it was not a problem for me. Finaly for the price and these aspects are not important for you, it is certainly the best deal in San Francisco : you have a large room in one of the better place in SF for 20% of the price of an hotel. I saw Jay only once but she seemed very pleasant and took care of my comfort. Her mother was also realy sympathic and had some welcoming words in French! For my first Air ANd B experience it was a success
