    Place was decent and clean. Have to pay $20 for parking if you want to park at the hotel parking lot that has homeless people hanging around and was told by business owners and people break-ins is a serious problem so be aware do not leave anything of value in your vehicles. Was caught off guard about having a Clean Safe "Crack" kit in the room as a added bonus if you need such a thing (WOW). I would not recommend for any single lady's or elderly.

    I liked it because you got to watch YouTube and tbub but all in all it wasn't a very clean place and then I had to get up around 2:30 until the front desk that there's people sleeping in the hallway they were off the street homeless people that were making himself comfortable right in the hotel hallway so I was upset about that and the room was way overpriced wasn't worth the accommodations I probably would never stay there again I didn't like the fact that the heater did not work and they had no coffee maker and I didn't like people sleeping in front of the hallway when I opened my door the beds were nice but the walls were very thin you can hear everything even next door that's what I didn't like

    I am extremely disappointed with my recent two-night stay. Unfortunately, the experience fell far below basic hospitality standards. On the first night, the bathroom sink was filthy and completely clogged. I notified staff immediately, but nothing was done to fix the issue. Having an unusable sink is unacceptable in any hotel. On the second day, I was not moved to another room until 1:00 PM. When I finally entered the new room, there were no towels provided. To make matters worse, the running water was completely shut off for approximately two hours — no hot water, no cold water, no functioning water at all. This made it impossible to shower or use the facilities. These issues caused significant inconvenience and frustration. I expected a clean, functional room and basic accommodations, which were unfortunately not provided. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and improves their standards moving forward

    The staff were incredibly considerate, especially given that there was a citywide power outage on the day I checked in. I was kindly escorted to my room and comprehensively debriefed about how they were dealing with the outage. They were clearly stressed, and did not at ALL make it my problem. However, the room wasn't clean (hair in the bedding and shower), the room lacked a trash can, and the toilet paper dispenser had been visibly ripped from the wall and not replaced. Loud confrontations by other clients occurred throughout the night. I have pretty low standards for cheap motels, because I understand that I get what I'm willing to pay for, but this one was beyond the pale.

I was probably the lowest paying customer checking in Friday Evening. Usually customer service is always on point.

    Felt very unsafe! The hotel was poorly kept and our room was filthy. The bed sheets looked okay, but we slept in our socks and street clothes just in case! We only had one wash rag with our two towels and no hand towels. There were gauze pads and an old dirty pink hair comb in the medicine cabinet. The fan in closet was so dirty, it looked like it had been blowing dust and dirt around for years! The blackout curtains didn’t fit the window and they were installed backward. My daughter and I felt so unsafe that I blocked the door with a chair they had by the desk (if you can call it that)! The door only had one simple lock and there was some sort of gum or wet paper stuffed in the peep hole of the door. There was dirt or some other type of “matter” on walls.. had we not arrived so late and were forced to stay there, I would cc have left in a heartbeat!! If I could rate this a negative number, I would!! I caution anyone who is looking at booking this hotel!!

    The service: horrible. The manager who checked me in collected an $80 cash deposit and denied me it at checkout stating it was towards the room charge when I made the reservation. The rooms: 307 had holes in the walls by the sink, behind the two power outlets, damaged curtains, a mattress with nails sticking out from it immediately outside the door to room 307. The room had blood stains throughout the floor, the shower leaked a significant amount of water out the bathroom, and mold was growing on the skylight. The smoke alarm was disabled and torn off the wall (the Fire Marshall needs to give this place a walk through). Employees are violently throwing, smashing and destroying debris in the parking lot at all hours of the night with no consideration for guest quite hours, and there is hardly any parking when being taken up by employees dumpster. Also they just began charging $20 for daily parking. The room is gross and it’s not up to code. Stay away. Not safe for kids. Great if you like bugs.

    Bad from beginning to end. When I showed up, none of the parking was available due to contractors being present and taking up half the spaces with vehicles and materials. My room did not have towels when I arrived, and I was only given 1 bar of soap. The microwave did not have a glass plate, so things put in the microwave would not rotate and cook properly. The faucet was scalding hot, except for one spot where you barely got a trickle of room temperature water. Due to the contractors being present there were materials scattered around the place and in the parking lot. The work was also extremely noisy and made sleeping in or napping very difficult. The door to my room latched flimsily and felt insecure. The room did not have a deadbolt lock to use on the inside. The bedsheets are poor. The comforter has a sheet on top and bottom due to the fact that it's covered in little burn holes. The list goes on.

    I find the in-room refrigerator and microwave to be very useful. At this time (mid-2025), rooms are being renovated and rooms are rented that are "in progress." They are suitable for use but unfinished. That said, the renovated sections are very attractive. While there's a very nice wall-mounted television, personally I don't fully understand how it works. It's not cable/satellite but (I think) Roku. Even so, I can always find something interesting to watch. Staff seems friendly and helpful. They even had the form you have to sign at check-in printed prior to my arrival. It might only save a minute or two but it's a nice touch.

The people next to us kept loud music going until 1am, and there's people waiting near the doors to follow you into the hotel since they don't have keys. On our last night, the manager was robbed at gunpoint for keys to the rooms. Don't stay here if you value your safety!

    I booked this room a week later that this trip. They canceled my reservation without notice and sold my room to someone else. When I tried to check in the hotel was sold out despite me reserving a room. I’ll make sure to cancel all my future trips to this hotel and never book it again. If you want to avoid surprise cancelation of your trip without any resolution, I’d suggest to look for one of the many other hotels in SoMa that value their long-term customers and don’t use unprofessional business policies

Took about 30 minutes and I felt safe doing so as a solo female. Next block is a Trader Joe’s and there are some bars around to grab a drink. The room itself was meh. The bathroom was super nice but I didn’t feel comfortable sleeping in the bed sheets so I slept on top. The microwave didn’t work so that was a bummer. There was something leaking so the floor kept getting wet near the front door. Overall I’d tell others to stay here but surely know it’s cheap yet you get what you pay for.

    Suited guy at front desk lack customer service skills and personality. Found a live cockroach on the wall of our room. The bed was decent however the furniture and A/C unit was disgusting to say the least. I would say the walk-in shower was probably the better feature of the room. My first stay at the property and probably my last.

    My toilet seat was cracked so I had to put paper towels to cover it or pinch my legs. The floor wasn’t very clean when I go there (I give some allowance but still), surfaces were cleaned ok tho. Shower was clean. Bed was very comfortable and pillows. AC and heater worked well. It’s a cheap motel, which I recognize but you have to repair your toilets and actually do a more thorough clean before a new occupant shows up. Also there are no front desk people half the day, seems like just during check in.

    Well the staff was very helpful and friendly. But the rooms was very run down and some of the occupants were shady. The bathrooms were remodeled I guess for just sleeping it was ok.

    I have stayed at this property lots of times and seemed like it really went downhill. I was awaked by this duo of methed out girls who were talking loud all night and their dog was barking the whole night. I finally had to tell them to shut the **** up and keep it down. They were still talking loud outside my window at 7am. The room smelled like smoke and musty. It was a dirty room. Probably wont stay at this property again. Oh yea and the front desk was kinda rude.

    If you just need a place to sleep and pack a sleeping bag it’s fine. If you plan on being in the room a lot definetly look elsewhere. Very limited parking but hey it was free. Guy at the desk seemed very friendly.

    In town for a concert at DNA lounge. I arrived early, parked my car for free, and walked around the city until the show started. There is food, nightlife, and a grocery store within a couple blocks. After the show I walked back to the room. Had another show the next night, walked to the BART station and did the same thing. Check in was easy. Service was great. Convenience was stellar. I probably saved more on parking than I spent for two nights.

    Stayed here a second time because it was convenient with free underground parking. The beds were horribly uncomfortable and the room had no closet or anywhere to hang anything. A couple of hooks would have gone a long way. Ice machine did not work and the stairs were a lot after a whole day of walking in the city. Stayed for 4 days and had to have my key card rekeyed each day.

    If you want comfort, pay for it, otherwise bring another blanket. The chairs are stained—don’t sit on them unless you have plastic under you. The manager also doesn’t make you feel very welcomed.

    We were happy to have somewhere to stay that fit in our budge and that included parking. However, there were a few things things that could use some work like the disconnected sink and loose door knob for the bathroom. I didn't feel comfortable with the window in the ceiling as there was graffiti.

    1 Breakfast included- only coffee and a packed pastry. 2. Requested for non- smoking room, but given to me really smoking embedded room 3 the carpet was really unclean 4. Very noisy even during the mid night 5. The entrance was so small door and the front desk was isolated with metal fence for their protection 6. So many flies in the room and public area I got the respiratory infection during 3 nights stay

    This hotel is in the most convenient location, and it even has protected, and covered, parking free with the reservation!! Just a free parking alone is worth the stay !! But honestly I got to tell you about the rooms, because that's what we're here for right? Before they started renovating the rooms were okay, but now that they have renovated most of the rooms, this place is top notch! The rooms are very clean, for the first time ever. I did feel like I needed to bring my own bedding, especially because they notably wash everything, but they also clean the pillows! Pillows! Imagine That! It's such a wonderful feeling checking into a hotel that keeps my car safe and protected with cameras and also from the rain, but also having a wonderful feeling of safety when I just simply lay my head down on a freaking pillow that's not mine! You guys/gals/other... I'm telling you... This is the place! If you want to make sure that you, your family, and even your CAR, is feeling safe? Come to San Francisco Inn. If you worry about seeing it all, this hotels convenient location will help with this. If you want you're clothes and business suit to be hung or folded and put into nice drawers? Gotta stay here. Need coffee? This hotel provides that in your room with a fridge AND microwave! Ever since COVID, not a single hotel provides breakfast... Except for San Francisco Inn! They still have that for sure! And seriously.... WALK IN SHOWERS! NOT that disgusting bathtub BS!!

    Not their fault but... It' ain't quiet ever. Police, loud cars, helicopters, screaming people. But look, it's cheap and in the location I wanted to be in to see a show. That's what you get. If you can deal with all the above, great place to crash. The guys doing the hotel service were good, not their fault for all the stuff.

    I cannot praise this place enough. I happened upon it while frantically scouring Hotels.com after my previous reservation had fallen through during the APEC conference weekend and I’m so glad I did. My stress was immediately relieved when they were able to accommodate an early check-in. It’s an unassuming hotel in the Soma District of San Francisco, so you really couldn’t ask for a better central location. The hotel consist of two neighboring buildings. Once I got into the room I fell in love. I really liked the layout as well as the furniture. There are several dressers and drawers for organization along with plenty of counter-space, which is rare feature in most hotels that I particularly appreciate. Some of the rooms even have jetted bathtubs that are nice and deep like a hot tub. It’s not just the rooms that makes this place so great however, but the staff. Mohammed , Safa and Faifal are not only consistently accommodating, but kind, exceptionally professional and all around Good guys. Whether it be a day or graveyard shift, they are always there to fulfill any request and go above and beyond their job expectation to meet the needs of their guests. Again I cannot overstate How much I appreciate these guys and the positive impact they’ve had on every one of my stays. The housekeeping is also genuinely very sweet, patient and attentive. This has become my go to place for extended stays. They beat every other hotel in the city, by their dedicated attention to detail.

    I understand that they are remodeling and somethings are not finished. But the sink was lose, the shower door handle was lose, there was a screw poking out of the floor, the phone didn't work and there is so many small things to bring up I don't have the effort to express. Cheap not convenient unless you are going to anything leather and lgbtq

    Hotel is situated in a great location. Parking is very limited. And parking spots are very small, good luck not hitting another car or wall ride if you have an SUV. Compact cars will be ok. The room i was in is very outdated. It had like a 70s vibe that hasn't been kept up. It also smelled like cigarettes. Wonder if they vacuum the floors? Bed was comfortable.

    The #1 consideration for me was free parking. This was one of only three hotels in the whole SoMa area that offered free parking. The number of spaces was very limited, but there was one available for me, so I was satisfied. Unfortunately, some trash materialized behind my car overnight) but I don't think that was the hotel's fault. That's the reason for my "poor" rating for the surrounding area.

    Room wasn’t nice. Shady area. Bedding was old and seemed dirty. Old furniture. You get what you pay for but walking distance to good food. Loud area but I like that. Also requires a $100 deposit even when prepaid, but the nice front desk dude waved it.

    We were put at a room near that back where there was open construction of a room. I understand that comes with some noise, however, what shouldn't be happening when someone is doing construction on the room next to you is the power to several outlets going in and out in your own room.
