    "I mean, the room which I stayed in was terribly dirty and the on top of that, the maid was to lazy to tidy up the place." source Venere

    "When I arrived my room had not been cleaned, staff were lovely and did it straight away, rooms were average, but comfy enough bed and enough space for more than just me." source Expedia

    "The room was clean though and quiet." source Hotels.com

    "Though clean, it was very rundown." source Hotels.com

  • Location: Rating of 3.5 out of 5

    "I was slightly worried about my stay at the Spaulding, if only because it was one of the few hotels in the Moscone area that still had (very inexpensive." source Hotels.com

    "WIFI connexion difficult BUT easy and excellent internet access in the public area. Public area equipped with microwave, washing machine, 2 computers with free access Second time in SF and 1rst at Spaulding, it was the beginning of my trip, Well adapted for that." source Venere

    "Location was in the heart of downtown, very close to the train station and bus routes." source Expedia

    "for the price it was ok, and close to everything in downtown." source Expedia

    "Hard to beat the price for the location." source Venere

  • Room: Rating of 2.8 out of 5

    "It was my first trip to San Francisco which was not a good experience as the Spaulding Hotel was an old run down hotel, which had bathroom towels which smelt of chlorine, the bedsheets where dirty, I specifically requested 2 single beds, when I was given a small double bed, the front desk person barely spoke english, which was not helpful as I wanted to do some tours, there are no phones in the rooms." source Venere

    "The room was not very clean at all." source Expedia

    "The room smelled like cigarette smoke the whole time, even though it was a "nonsmoking" room. The website said that electric fans were in every room, but when I asked at the desk for one, I learned that they don't have any, even upon request." source Venere

    "It should have been a clue when I had to sign a sheet that said "I have seen my room and find it acceptable" prior to seeing it." source Venere

    "Do not take the cheapest room type. It's definitely worth paying a little more for rooms with an own bathroom." source Venere
