The room was spacious enough for the age of the building (keep this is mind, everything is smaller in old city buildings). Housekeeping came in every day and left the room looking great. The location is the best part; close to a BART station and with many bus lines nearby. There are many businesses within walking distance. Great common areas, but some of the rooms had mold that was visible on the walls of the room and the bathroom. This was an issue for me and after communicating with the staff, they moved me to a different room which was a much better option. The air conditioning unit in the first room also needed some cleaning as well as the windows. The staff is very friendly and always willing to help if you need something.

Staff was accommodating when we needed a late check out. Very comfy bed, a lot of towels and the body wash smelled good! We ate at nearby Jasmins and their chicken katsu was delicious, the women there were very sweet also.

Thin walls. Even for a weeknight it was a bit noisy even though I asked for a quiet room in the back of the building. I could hear all of my neighbors.

Friendly staff, not the cleanest bedding

Arrived at the hotel past midnight due to a late flight. The staff was so kind as to keep the door unlocked for my arrival. Got in the room and immediately fell asleep on the bed. Woke up the next morning and realized that my head had been on a blood stained pillow case the entire night. That’s kind of gross, to be quite honest.

The hall and my room smelled very musty, so much so that I was worried that there was mold. I bought Lysol from the Walgreens across the street but it didn't help. There were black spots at the base of the shower and around the window AC unit. I took out the filter screen of the AC unit and it was filthy. When I showed it to the 2 employees at the front desk, one was rude saying he had no idea when he could get me a new one because he'd have to call "engineering". The second man was nicer, took the filter, and said he'd take care of it. When I returned to my room later that day, there was a filter in the AC unit again. I don't know if it had just been vacuumed or if it was new. Regardless, I didn't use it again. The first night, it was so noisy outside in the neighborhood that I had to turn on the AC fan to try to sleep (white noise) but the fan was so loud that sleeping was quite the challenge. The room was small but what I liked were the shower and towels. Every employee except the one mentioned above was very friendly. The price was right, but I would only suggest people looking for a youth hostel type accommodation to stay here.

I stayed for a solo trip for a weekend and it was the perfect fir for me. I loved the little coffee, tea and water station they had for their guests and the staff was very friendly. The rooms are small and clean. The walls are thin and you hear other guests but it was still okay and didn't impact my sleep.
