  • Location: Rating of 4.1 out of 5

    "Convenient location, especially if you arrive by train/bus." source Hotels.com

    "I was originally concerned about the location on the edge of the tenderloin district, but felt completely safe. It turned out to be a perfect location only a block to the Powell Street Bart station, cable car turnaround, Nordstroms, etc are just across Market." source Travelocity

    "Otherwise, the location was great - a quick walk to Union Square BART and shops." source Expedia

    "I loved the hotel, but the location stinks." source Hotels.com

    "Hotel corner feels quite safe; although the area away from Powell St. may feel slightly sketchy sometimes, all other directions feel safe--bustling downtown feel." source Travelocity

    "good value for money." source Hotels.com

    "This is a terrific location and a very good value." source Travelocity

  • Room: Rating of 3.8 out of 5

    "The room included an iron/ironing board, hair dryer, and plenty of towels for two people. The bathroom was big and our room was just roomy enough for three to relax in." source Travelocity

    "The front desk people were very helpful and accomodating but when I checked in my room there were 2 sets of earplugs on the nightstand and they were certainly needed." source Travelocity

    "Overall a good experience, but if noise bothers you, I'd pay a bit more for a hotel with rooms higher up or further from the tenderloin district." source Travelocity
