I was one of those people that didn’t bother to read the reviews. And of course that put me in the wrong place. PLEASE READ THE REVIEWS. I will also be uploading videos and pictures on google reviews for ya’ll to know. I planned to extend my stay but when I called customer service the guy I talked to was extremely rude. No matter how I tried to change the mood by politely saying “sir” he kept answering me in a rude and as if he was mad ‘tone’. That was my biggest red flag before even knowing what this place holds. Thankfully no homeless people were there when I went in. The security code they have seem to be fine and modern. Going in, luckily they probably fixed the piss odor problem in the other reviews so I wasnt hit by it. But there was definitely a smell of musk. Tried using the elevator but there was unknown fluid inside so I didnt bother. Stairs are pretty old looking and the building itself looks like it was a rundown apt. turned into a “hotel”. Walls are thin and when somebody uses the bathroom on the other-side (other room) ud hear it. Thankfully the room I got in was relatively clean. But I definitely felt unsafe being there and the air definitely didn’t feel clean to breathe either. Would I book again over here? Maybe if I really NEEDED a place to crash with a microwave and fridge. BUT PLEASE if you can find somewhere else that’s better, do so. There are more places and hotels out there.

This is not a hotel. This is a converted apartment building. There is no staff. The internet did not work. No one answered the phone and there was no one onsite. My room was so loud I could not sleep. The windows are single pane and have not weatherstripping so it sounds like you are outside. Someone ran up and down the stairs many times and was knocking on doors. Van Ness street was very loud, Policy sirens back and forth until 3 am and People playing music on the street and very loud argument was happening outside my window. The sheets were not clean. The pillows were barely 2 inches thick and the bed was uncomfortable. The 30 inch TV was mounted on the ceiling and you cannot really see it from anywhere in the room. The remote was covered in sticky goo and was disgusting to touch. Once again staff never responded or returned any calls. I had meetings for business all week so I had to leave and stay somewhere else. Avoid this place to stay at all costs.

This place was great. The management made sure I had everything I needed. The old school elevator was certainly a new experience. All in all, I’d definitely recommend.

The worst place ever!!!!

This place is dire! NO front desk attendance ever, and when you ring, both numbers, they don't answer! The room was dirty, the windows had not witnessed cleaning for months! There is NO heating, I mean, NONE - in the middle of winter. My floor, 3rd, had no internet access! It's actually not a hotel, it's a run-down boarding house that should be demolished, it's filthy, the carpets in the halls are beyond disgusting. Rooms NEVER get serviced, I was there 8 days, worst stay of my life - will be liaising with hotels.com, this place is beyond disgusting. AVOID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Couldn’t check in at 4pm because room wasn’t ready and the hallway smells really musty since it’s an old building. Room was small but had a street view window and comfy bed with nice shower. Would stay again if listed under seventy dollars.
