I was in SF for 4 nights and just wanted an inexpensive, clean, safe place to crash at the end of the day. I came across the Dorel and am happy I did. While the rooms are small (as seen in the photos), it was perfect for one person. My fourth floor unit had three large windows that could be opened, which was great to get a breeze during the evening. Bathroom was clean, shower has great water pressure and heat, and there was a Roku TV with all of the streaming apps you would need. Each unit also has a microwave and a mini fridge, which was great to have. Wi-Fi was included and worked well with just a few connection drops.
There is a spacious communal kitchen area is on the ground floor, which seemed to be very well-stocked with utensils, cooking appliances, etc, along with a vending machine, couple of TVs, and garbage/recycling which was convenient.
The host was extremely communicative, with detailed instructions on how to retrieve keys and enter the property/unit.
The location is also great in Lower Nob Hill - close to get to many areas of the city, and located in between both a Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods a block to either side. Did not feel unsafe at any point during my stay.
The only slight improvement I would recommend was the cleaning - my room’s garbage can hadn’t been emptied, but this was extremely minor and wasn’t a bother - towels, sheets, pillows, were all clean. Thanks for the great stay, I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for great value in the city.
