You can do better
Very loud at night, poorly insulated to the exterior - new windows would go a long way to improving the property. Staff barely registered us (pretty sure they were high?), elevator worked only intermittently, and there's no AC. The carpet was quite old and felt kind of gross.
Location was pretty decent, and accessing the property was straight forward.

There were bedbugs at the hotel. Lots of homeless people outside the property bed did not have a fitted sheet on it. There were no blankets just one sheet. I would never recommend a family coming to this hotel.

The hotel was great, the room was very nice and clean everyone was very professional. The only thing about the area were the the hotel is located. There are a lot of homeless people and the area is very derty. I know it's not the hotels problem. But this makes me not want to be out late , i got back at 9pm and did not want to go out and get food. Good thing that they have restrictions next door and a Jack in the box at the corner.

The hotel is small and old. It is fine enough when you are just essentially sleeping there, but overall not the nicest hotel. There are not amenities, no breakfast of any kind.

Original old hotel remodeled on Geary street close to union square. Very small bath closet, but functional. Late check in was easy. Room was quiet and safe.

Not terrible
The hotel is overall a good option if you’re not looking for an extended stay, as the room lacked air conditioning.

My room was located over an alley where very noisy construction was going on all night. i was reluctantly moved, but it was clear the staff knew. Also no washcloth or coffee maker
