The room was great clean room not to far away from sf. Definitely recommend staying here.
I was fine with the parking. The hotel is safe and ok for the amount you pay in a city like San Francisco. There is a store 2 blocks near.

The initial walk into the apartment was very nice. What struck me was the overpowering smell of cleaning solvents (clorox/chlorine). Other than the odor the room was well maintained. However, the restroom was a different issue. There were ants all over the wall where the sink and toilet were situated. Luckily, I had sealed containers to protect my hygienic items.
Super friendly and helpful staff! Ample free parking (HUGE benefit). Room was comfortable and about what you would expect for budget price. Would happily stay again
good budget friendly simple rooms, area is good,
the owners, staff, housekeeping are very nice. can get a nice low cost and good breakfast at wendys about just a block away. and a donut place within walking distance also :)

Shopping and food within walking distance. The room itself had seen some prior damage, but the damage had been addressed to various levels of repair. But the room itself was clean and you can tell that they do care about providing a quality stay.

It was ok after a long intl flight. No restaurants in the immediate area.
Close to The Cow Palace and a cheap Uber ride. Nothing spectacular around, but conveniences within walking distance including a nice restaurant across the street and a pool hall sitting atop a flight of stairs.
The location was convenient. Donut shop across the street was nice. The room was basic but serviceable. The rooms were a bit outdated, toilet seat was loose and slipping off to the side. One of the lamps didn't work, no blowdryer, no iron. Ultimately, I would probably not stay there again.
You can reeeaally hear the neighbors. But its a good clean safe place to say! Not paying for luxury! Thanks guys

Amenities were extremely limited, no phone to contact front desk, there werent enough towels in room and unfortunately it was pouring outside i called from cell phone and was told to come to office to pick up towels. The room was very compact bedside lamps didnt work. The only plug in room was in the bathroom everything else was plugged into one extension cord (tv, microwave, fridge, idk what else but no spaces were available. The shower pressure was really low and took a long time to get hot. The bathroom had a skylight but LOTS of spider webs around rhe edges. The bathroom was clean upon entry but mirror had some weird black stuff on the frame. The bed was so comfortable cover was clean as i did inspect to make sure it was clean. The microwave freezer needed to be defrosted it was ice everywhere very dated and the fridge had burn marks on frame upon opening. Room came with a single serve coffee machine didnt use unsure how clean that stuff was. Tv was normal not smart capable but did have cable for local stations. Check in was simple, so was check out. My room was upstairs but the stairs were a little steep not feeling to secure. Overall I just haven't experienced a room of this calibur and i had my kid with me. Its a great deal price wise it served its purpose but, its just wasn't for me unfortunately.
