was disappointed with my stay. There was a shared bathroom, which was not mentioned clearly. The room had no ventilation, no towels, no proper cleaning, and no coordination between the staff. Overall, it was uncomfortable and not as expected.

No window screen making it very unsafe for kids. Uneven flooring, stained dirty bathroom floor and shower floor. There is no parking and no parking validation. Parking is $40 a day at a cheap lot. Check in isn’t at the Herbert hotel and therefore you need to walk to two different places altogether. Not a good experience.

Funky old place. Small room with poor temp control. Toilet needed a little amateur fixing. Great location, comfortable bed, clean sheets. No manned lobby. The reception/check-in was 1/2 block away. I knew because of the price that this was not going to be a conventional stay. It didn’t disappoint.

A real bargain in the off season ($75 USD/night). It is very bare bones, bathroom/shower down the hall, no room service and a small basic room but the bed was comfortable and it was quiet, and you can't beat the location...

It was exactly what we were looking for on our stay in San Francisco. Easy public transit to all the destinations we were interested in as well as good walking distance to shopping, dining and attractions.
