The Dorel is located in a great location if you're looking to explore around SF for a period of time. The check-in process was simple and straightforward. I followed the instructions that was sent to me and was able to get into my room with no further communication required.
The room I got had the windows facing the streets so there was some noise if the windows were left opened. With the windows closed I was able to fall asleep fine with no issues. The room I got comes with a microwave and a small fridge so it is very convenient if you would like to have a quick bite before exploring the city. The bathroom came in a clean condition.
The common area was also pretty well maintained and is equipped with good amount of kitchen items for guests to use. They have magnetic labels on the dishwasher to indicate which dishwasher contains clean utensils.
The location of The Dorel was accurate, I was able to find it easily since The Dorel label was pasted right on the front door. They have a Trader's Joe and CVS nearby which was really helpful for me to get the things I needed for my trip. For coffee/breakfast places they are all within walking distances so it was really nice to have these things around me. It's location is great for someone who is exploring San Francisco as its situated in the middle of most of the places you'll want to visit.
Please note that the location is located in Nob Hill so you will definitely want to be taking advantage of the buses available because I tried walking and I really wouldn't recommend that as there is too much elevation around this place.
Overall a great stay!
