It was a very nice and very clean room. it felt safe with the big metal front gate, the price is pretty reasonable for San Francisco area. there is a bus stop about 1-block away. Nearby there is a Pharmacy, a few bars and a breakfast restaurant.

it is more of a european style hotel with shared bathrooms, because there isn't any common area. you just have the hallway with individual private rooms and 2 shared bathrooms and a kitchen.

above average noise in the mornings from 7:30 am - 9:00 ( and 10:30 pm - 12:00 ) with people running around on other floors and up & down the stairs and the doors and gate shutting. Since everything is hard wood and glass the noise echo's through the building. I think some thicker carpets would help.

i would recommend the Hyde-Out on Hyde street , about 3-blocks away. the beer prices are very reasonable for San Francisco, about $5.50 and the bar tender was really nice.
