This booking was a bit confusing. Room is actually in the Magnolia hotel and you book through a 3rd party.
Pros: reasonably priced for downtown hotel. Close to the free 16th Mall street bus. Very quiet. Bed was comfortable and the staff was very friendly. We could walk to stores/restaurants. They offer free bottled water which we used daily.
Cons: I am not sure who the 3rd party is but I reached out several times and NEVER got a response. Had I known it was a hotel, I would have just called them. There is construction going on in area and whole block smelled like sewer. Didn't smell in room though. Lots of homeless folks in that area. But that is a city issue, not the hotel. The shower has a large tub. I am short so I was a little nervous climbing in the shower because there was nothing to hold on to.
We would stay there again. We basically just slept there and value was good. I would recommend compare pricing on booking through AirBNB versus calling the hotel. And I say that because the host/3rd party person did not respond to me.
Overall - 3.5 rating.
