I had a great 2 night stay here.
The front desk person was friendly and knowledgeable. The common area/toilet/shower and bedroom were very clean.
I requested a kettle and got a take away cup from a restaurant so that I could make myself some tea in the morning.
There is an excellent pizza place on the corner - Modena- which I highly recommend!
The street outside was rather noisy and I was glad to have my earplugs and eye covers for sleeping, but the inside was quiet and I hardly saw another person (preferable!).
As noted, this isn’t the most desirable part of the city but I didn’t feel unsafe - the security of the hotel seems sufficient. For the price and the accessibility to the event I came for plus the tourist areas such as Pier 39 it was great. I would return again and I do recommend a stay here.
