Good bargain for active travelers
Location- Many negative reviews in regards to the surrounding areas. Don't be too turned off. All or cities have similar pockets of homeless people & run-down areas, but we didn't feel uncomfortable or threatened. People keep to themselves and generally don't bother you. Be aware of your surroundings & keep valuables out of sight.
Decently walkable & MUNI transit is easy to access from the hotel. $5 MUNI day pass gets you anywhere.
The building & room- Older motel style w/ secure garage & buzzer entry. Decent bed, toiletries, clean towels. Plain furnishings, nothing fancy, yet kept clean. We're a mid 30s active couple who travel on a budget whenever possible & this place met the requirements for a comfortable room to sleep after a busy day of sight seeing.
Service- Free wifi, breakfast w/oatmeal packets, packaged pastries, coffee, tea. Good coffee shop 2 doors down. Clear parking instructions (1st come 1st served parking but there always seemed to be a few empty spots. We kept our car there the entire 3 days as MUNI was much easier and economical). It was a mostly secure lot, but noticed a spot where one could climb up from the hedges into the lot, so everything visible came out of the car). Drop room keys off at desk at any time before leaving.
Elevators out of order; 1 star dinged since we had a ton of camping stuff to lug up & down 3 flights of stairs. Overall 4 stars for cost efficiency, decent room & professional service. Good for us, might not be everyone's fit.
