    One thing to watch out for: there is no front desk. You need an app to get into your room, and you should receive your check-in information before you arrive. Mine never came, and I had to make several phone calls before the problem was fixed. Also, make sure you ask for the separate code to unlock the front door. If you don't have it, you could end up locked out late at night.

    Amazing location. The room and the shared bathroom/WC was clean at all times and well appointed. The shared kitchen\dining was bright, spacious, sufficient seating and I really enjoyed the view from there of the bustling street below. The kitchen could have been better equipped - Freshly brewed coffee would have been nice. There were also no knives or scissors provided. Either a hob or an oven would have helped to bake a frozen pizza. Once the openkey app did not function and had to be reset but the housekeeping staff was nearby to quickly resolve the problem.

    The location The scavenger hunt with getting into the room. I'm too old for a reverse escape room.

    Location was perfect! Perfect place to explore the area . A little noisey and stuffy (its a old building) but was comfortable enough

    Great location and price Loud street noise/people being on street with lots of bars and restaurants and some homeless. Shower needs to be cleaned. Bed didn’t feel stable and slightly hard. Kitchen fridge water filter was broken, water jug was empty.

    I LOVE THIS HOTEL!! It's my second multi-night stay in it. EVERYTHING in the "suggested subjects" was "MAX"! The "Community Room" on the first floor really HAD the feeling of ... well ... "community"....including a delightful number of aspiring young Entrepreneurs from South America - perfect English, of course! Clean; sunny-bright; great full-sized appliances including excellent microwave for charming array of coffee-tea-amendments; filtered water. Mind, I have NO reservations about sharing the commode - 2 on each floor - which NEVER was a problem. Each and every one of us was down-right "TIDY"! It's in ready walking distance ALL the places I wanted to go: BART/MUNI! Asian Art Museum next to extraordinary PUBLIC Library. Symphony Hall! City Hall AND weekend Farmers' Markets (!) in the UNPlaza in front of it. From it, I defined my own adventures starting at the Presidio [a magical PUBLIC PARK we *must PROTECT* from Greedy Developers - read DJT!!!]. Walked ALL OVER San Francisco (OK, so I took the bus to the OCEAN (read "Lands End"). Yes, one Uber - to the specific Memorial Service/celebration as I wasn't sufficiently PUBLIC- transportation"proficient" but I am NOW! Hayes Valley itself has become downright FUN, probably again, given its proximity to So Much!! Enough from me - go see for yourself! Repeat: I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!

    I like the location of the hotel. The bathroom and shower room being outside is definitely a bit inconvenient and not private. Otherwise, good value given the convenient locations. A bit noisy since there are a few popular restaurant and bar just downstairs. A bit noisy. Bath and WC room outside shared.
