Great location. On Powell street and near Cable car, Bart, and Muni states. The hotel is small and not staff on site. Will need to check in at another hotel (Strafford). The room is simple but clean. No A/C which can be problematic during the summer. I stayed for 4 nights and didn't spend much time in the room which is fine. But I asked the staff (via text) for more coffee supply and got no response.

Dated but well maintained property with clean, comfortable no-frills rooms. The staff was first-rate, going above and beyond. They offered us a room away from Powell Street so we didn’t hear the cable cars going by, and accommodated all of our needs. Conveniently located equidistantly between Union Square and the Powell Street Muni station, there is an abundance of shopping, dining, and entertainment opportunities close by. We would definitely stay there again.

The room was fine, but there were a few things that stood out about this visit. First was that the check-in desk was at a different hotel across the street. After checking in, I got the key card which opened the actual hotel's front door. The other thing was that there was no refrigerator in the room; not a deal-breaker but missing a fridge was a bit of an inconvenience. On a positive note, the hotel was nicely located in the city as there were many options for transportation (BART, cablecar, streetcar, etc.). Along those lines, there are stores and restaurants all around the area.

Rooms were comfortable, cleanliness could have been slightly better in the bathroom (upon arrival it seemed it needed a little more work, nothing major just small details) Staff was nice, nice building, great area close to public transportation, Union Square, lots of eating and shopping options. Overall a nice stay. Rooms were basic, but offer everything you could want. I would stay there again.
