I have lived in San Francisco for the past 30 years, and I know the city changes from block to block. The music city hotel is the perfect alternative to stay in the city on and off without paying lots of money. The area is very nice, many good restaurants and pubs. Night life as well, dispensaries and more. Overall, I love this place.

My roommate had been at the same room for over a week I think and he probably never had shower in his life. I asked staff to change my room because it was impossible to stay at the room with/out him. They said all the rooms are full and they cannot do anything about it.

Disgusting hotel. Looks cool but looks are very de

Disgusting hotel. Reeked of dope. Stain on the carpet. No AC. Window does not stay open. Nor does it open all the way. If you look out your window you are looking directly into the room across from you. Shared bathroom-this was an oversight i overlooked. The plugin fan had dudt nunnies on it. Black sheets had white stains on it. Very uncomfortable. I slept fully in my clothes. I couldnt get my mobey back. Never ever stay at this hotel. You couldnt pay me to stay here again. Oh and its in a sketchy area. No ventilation in the hotel as marijuana was throughout the hotel. And didnt see an ice machine.

Staff is friendly and helpful. Not many redeeming qualities otherwise. You’re sharing a bathroom with the entire floor, not just your capsule. That was not clear from the descriptions. I was so surprised I went back to see my reservation to see if I had missed it. I thought I’d be sharing a bathroom with just my roommates and that we’d have the bathroom inside our room — that is not the case. Not sure when the carpet was last cleaned but the whole place smells and is incredibly grimy. The cleaning crew work really hard so the beds and bathrooms are clean around check-in time but there’s always a strong chemical cleaner smell on top of the carpet grime and marijuana. I think this is fine for people who are used to hostel stays and are interested into the indie music scene. I’m probably too old and used to my creature comforts to ever stay here again. Also note there’s no elevator and Polk street it not very luxury city center. You’re getting what you pay for = a clean bed to sleep in, access to a shower and bathroom, some storage. If you wanna use the in-room lockers, bring your own lock and key. They don’t give or rent them out. If you have more than one checked bag size luggage, this is probably not a good fit.

The pod and room were fine, but this hostel is also a band rehearsal space so if you wanted to nap and relax before your redeye flight, you’re out of luck if a band is rehearsing on the floor beneath you.
