If you’re after an affordable, straight forward stay in the centre of San Francisco, this place will do you fine. The rooms are mostly clean and comfortable and are fine for two people. You start to tune out to the street noise after a while, and it’s not crazily bad given how central the hotel is. Heating didn’t work properly but the rooms were still comfortable even when it was cold. I think my biggest gripe was the lack of communication. Your best bet will be to call the hotel directly to clarify everything as it took almost a week for my first email to be responded to, and messages sent on Airbnb are unanswered. The front desk is sporadically open, so just rely on calling their emergency number if they aren’t contactable at reception.
The hotel is older, so has a nice old fashioned elevator but again, it was all fine. For a two star hotel, it does a good job. It’s great for if you’re on a budget, but wanting to be in the middle of the city. If affordable but comfortable accomodation is what you’re after, this is as good as you’ll get it for a two star. There are improvements I’ve suggested for check in, and communication, but honestly it does provide a satisfactory stay so is definitely worth your consideration.
