    Very clean, close to the pier and other attractions

    I vas very happy with the room and services so nothing was bothering me

    I stayed here for an overnight trip to attend an event with my partner so we really just needed a place to get ready and sleep. The room was clean and comfortable, small, but with a good sized bathroom; it also had a microwave and refrigerator. We were able to park easily (free parking always appreciated!). Room seemed recently updated and the staff member I spoke to was friendly. For the price we paid, I would stay here again under similar circumstances.

    There were only three hangers in the "closet" area, which was not convenient. While updated, the furniture in the room (bench and chair) were not comfortable for sitting and the bed could have used more pillows - they were small.

    The location is good for access to Fort Mason, Ghiradelli square and Fisherman's Wharf /piers. It is on a relatively flat area which is a plus. Room has been renovated and it was handy to have a microwave and fridge.

    The elevator and the carpet on the stairs and external walkways could use an update.

    Great staff, clean enough, great location

    6GorselPosted on: 2-13-2026

    The rooms are clean and the location is good, and having free parking is a nice advantage.

    the sound insulation in the rooms is very poor, and a lot of noise comes in from outside.

    8LeonardoPosted on: 2-12-2026

    Room = Big room for a couple. very decent bed, no carpets, cleanLocation = Right on Lombard St - very busy, noisy, traffic is close, not a lot of security gates (you can access the apartments without checking in anywhere -Breakfast - no breakfast, no kitchen, no amenities Good to shower and sleep - it is not to stay and enjoy the property

    Not applicable.It is a straightforward proposal - you have a decent room with good location - staff is very friendly and informative.

    All in all our stay was lovely room had everything we needed, bed was comfortable shower worked well. Uber/taxi into the city centre or to pier 39 was cheap and only took about 6/7 minutes.

    Only one downside I can see was the traffic outside throughout the night was noisy so as I’m a light sleeper weren’t great but otherwise an excellent start.

    10MistyPosted on: 2-11-2026

    Friendly, personable staff. Worked with us for our unusual situation

    Elevator was a bit sketchy

    clean and comfortable

    a little bit noisy

    8DasherPosted on: 2-8-2026

    The room was big, very clean and comfortable.

    Very busy street so rooms facing the front could be noisy.

    8DylanPosted on: 2-8-2026

    Location is one of the best in SF. Parking included, and attractive rates.

    Very noisy

    Room was newly renovated. Staff was nice.

    I want to give this a good rewiew, but I just can't. Staff was friendly and helpful and the room was newly refurbished, but it was very NOISY. The people above me walking around sounded like the might come through the ceiling. If you stay here, ask for the fourth floor. Of course, they returned every night at midnight and woke me up. One time, someone (a child maybe) was running around and I thought for sure the ceiling would collapse. Also, Franklin St. is very close and the traffic noise is also very loud (photo included). One morning, a garbage truck pulled up right behind my room at 4:58 am and it sounded like it was right on top of me. I included a photo of the truck also. You can see how close it is. Of course, I was wide awake to take the photo. Basically, the walls are rice paper thin. I don't know why they even bothered building places like this in the past. I think they don't really even build these paper thin constructions anymore. Obviously, the owners cannot do anything about this but for me the very basic requirement of a hotel is that you can SLEEP. This place does not meet that. It is so loud you feel like you are sleeping outside. This is very close to the noisiest place I have ever stayed. Another pet peeve was the bathroom lighting was motion activated and very BRIGHT, so you could NOT turn it off. It came right back on every time and was blinding.

    The room is nice, clean and simple. comfortable bed.

    It'a very loud!!! You can hear the neighbors as well as the traffic, it's like cars are driving right in front of the rooms..Also the windows don't open, so your only option is dry recycled air.

    10AmberPosted on: 2-4-2026

    Very clean with great parking. Easy to find and check in. It was clean and the bed was very comfy.

    8KathrynPosted on: 2-4-2026

    Conveniently located

    On a noisy road and could hear other rooms, especially above.

    7ChristinePosted on: 2-3-2026

    The convenient location to everything. Restaurants, supermarkets, transport, attractions etc

    The noise. We were in level 2 and the herd of elephants above us made it challenging .Also the traffic noise was crazy.
