Ok for the price but no staff at all. I emailed twice with some problems and no one answered. Water fountain ran out frequently and coffee was out of order on three occasions. No response for the supplied phone number and email address is totally unacceptable. Which is a shame. We will not stay again

Comfortable...easy to get around to and from. Stairs are a little wonky. No front desk staff present but that was on for most of my stay. Had to rely on apps and codes to get into hotel and room. App for room did not work 2nd day even after uninstalling and trying to reinstall app. Besides getting in room app is how u check out. I called number posted in lobby and they were kind and tried to be helpful. Said they would check me out on the back end. Been close to 30 minutes and no confirmation of checkout yet. Besides being forced to use technology I really enjoyed my stay

Bush street - get a room away from the road !
Bush street is very loud and since rooms are assigned at checkin there is no way to change rooms or even inquire. We did get early checkin so that was good.

The elevator is 100 years old and very unwieldy. The stairs are less than 2ft wide near the top of the first flight with pipes and stuff in the way. I never saw a single person at a desk or anywhere. There were no curtains (only blinds) in the room, no AC only a steam radiator. The shower was tiny, plastic with no labels on the faucet, and no ventilation. The absolute worst part was the bed. No box spring, an uncomfortable mattress on a metal frame like a fold out couch! The sheets were clean, and the TV worked. If you value a good nights rest, look elsewhere.

Stayed for GDC at the Moscone Center, it was quiet and nice. It's also connected to a lounge/record store which was pretty cool.

Whenever we called front desk they were responsive. The location was central and one block away from Chinatown entrance. I didn't like how noisy it was in the morning since the floors were creaky and the walls are thin. It was hard to sleep in in the morning because it was that loud.

NOBODY WORKS HERE!!! This hotel is run by an app, I would not recommend staying here. Please don’t support a place that doesn’t employ people. No security, no lock on the door beyond the smart lock, no chain or latch. Tv barley worked, shower was warm half the time, no ice machine, no breakfast or anything, there’s a kurig in the “common area” that you are asked to keep clean like it’s a dorm.

This is an economical, no frills hotel conveniently located right in the heart of downtown San Francisco, but far enough away from the Cable Car lines so you don't have to listen to their clanging. Good restaurants are nearby, and so is BART/Muni. In January, the nights were cold, so the small radiator kept the room warm enough, but little of its heat made its way into the tiny bathroom
