I got this room on discount with Expedia otherwise the place is just too expensive for me to afford. Most middle class people would say that $140 per night is too much for such a simple room. There is no way to make a cup of real coffee, no wash clothes or hand towels. No ice machine for cold drinks. No micorwave to be found anywhere. The fridge is on that are found in dorm rooms at colleges. Strange noises at night. Could it be the heating system that turns on at around 3am? All of the hotel staff work at a hotel across the street one block away. Check in at the other hotel and check there. No one to be found on staff at the Herbert Hotel.

Location and Service- Not much more.
Scratchy towels, no AC and slow Wifi. Luckily the weather is good in October so we immediately opened the windows to get some air. The bed is awful! We could feel all of the springs. And the toilet was broken. We had to keep fixing the plug to get it to flush. However the girls at checkin were great! Customer service and location makes this hotel. Also the bottles of soap and shampoo were watered down. One bottle was broken. Just a lot of little things could have made this place better.

It was an okay hotel to spend a couple nights. It was clean, quiet, and convenient for public transportation. They only gave us 2 towels, zero hand towels, and don’t expect any extras in the room. It’s good for a bed!

I like the location and the fact that it's near the cable cars and right next to Walgreens. The bathroom floor felt pretty dirty though, and I had to buy my own toilet paper. The room felt pretty hot with just the ceiling fan and no aircon. My bathroom was connected to another room, which was kinda weird even if it was locked so theh couldn't come in from their side. I could hear them pretty clearly from the bathroom, so it really felt like my bathroom lacked privacy.

The property is in a good location to getting to places you want to see! There are no staff at this location but at a sister hotel about 100 feet away. This is where you check in. You can hear people in the room next door. Overall great place to sleep & shower!

The hotel is okay. Not terrible, but not great either. It’s right in front of the cable car, so it gets noisy. Also, nothing bad happened, but the area around the hotel isn’t the nicest or safest.

Loved our stay! Excellent priced hotel, in the middle of everything! So easy to get to any vuses, walk to shoping, dining or drinking. We did have to walk to another hotel to check in, but it took literally a minute to get there, as it was right across the street. Our room was ready when we arrived 4 hours early and we got checked right in, which was awesome!

I generally really liked this hotel, love the old "styling", my biggest inconvenience was that Wifi was TERRIBLE I had to work bit during my stay, so ended up working from a small bench in a very small lobby. The only other thing I'd mention about the hotel itself is that there is no staff in it, everyone is over at the stratford. The area itself feels a bit unsafe at night, but it is close to everything.
