This place is a great deal and worked out perfectly for our two-night stay. Most of the other guests checking in appeared to be going to the hostel-type shared accommodations, but we went with one of the private rooms with a queen-sized bed and its own bath.
Pros: Easily accessible off a BART stop, quickest check-in and check-out process ever, central location, very clean, trendy/modern decor in the room (I want the bedside lamps for my own room!), nice updated bathroom, kind/responsive staff, good WiFi/cable, comfy bed, hairdryer available from the desk on request.
Cons: 1) When we checked in our room didn’t have a shower curtain (not a big issue, and was resolved by the staff by the time we got back from dinner!). 2) Only one elevator, which is rather slow. Luckily we were only on the 4th floor so we just took the stairs when we weren’t lugging bags. 3) There was some sort of renovation happening in the room directly across the hall from ours, with loud demolition work starting at 8:30am both days we stayed. Because we were visiting from the Central time zone we happened to wake up relatively early anyway, but the work was QUITE loud (dragging a full sized bathtub down the hallway, one example) and it would’ve been nice to have some warning on this point when we checked in. Again, not a huge issue, but would’ve been a much more relaxing stay without it.
Overall, would highly recommend the private room accommodations here! We had a lovely time and were very pleased with the value for the price.
One note for first-time visitors to the area: I was initially turned off by the “no air conditioning” aspect, but was informed by a friend that this is pretty standard in San Francisco because it gets so cool in the evenings. The ceiling fan in our room kept us at a comfortable temperature the whole time.
