Hotel room was very very dirty. Completely misguided by the photos given in hotel.com
Area is extremely unsafe roads full of homeless people. I saw people breaking the car glass parked on the street.

Will never go there. Worst experience ever in my life regarding hotels.
My suggestion is not to pay before visiting physically

Absolutely disgusting experience. The photos online are completely misleading and do not reflect reality at all. We arrived with our family and small child and immediately felt unsafe. Three homeless individuals entered the building behind us, ran upstairs, and the staff actually blamed us instead of providing security.

The room was filthy, tiny, and poorly maintained. The windows and shutters were covered in dirt, the bedding had cigarette burn holes, there were broken switches, damaged walls, and even a loose ceiling vent above one of the beds. The entire property looked neglected and unsafe.

We did not feel comfortable or safe staying there, especially with a child, and had to leave and find another hotel. This place should not be advertised the way it is. Avoid at all costs.
My family decided to check out after 15min there.

The area this hotel is located is awful, with a lot of homelessness, open drug usage sleeping in the street, and defecation everywhere,

Despite filtering for a hotel with 'breakfast included', this was not the case here - I note the hotel still states this, despite no breakfast available.

The TV in the room did not work - I reported it the first day, and it was never resolved.
The lightbulb in the reading light taken was missing, this was also reported the first day and never resolved.
The microwave plate was missing - based on the prior two issues being ignored, I didn't bother reporting it.
The 'hotel' seems to be used for long-term use,, with many 'residents' having their entire belongings in the rooms, leaving a foul odour when the door is open.
I was shocked to see an aggressive-looking dog had been left in the corridor outside my room all night, twice.
The bathroom/toilet looks as if it it is cleaned once a day.

Bed in terrible condition, tape hanging on the wall to keep the bad frame up. Blood on the windows edges. Burn marks and wholes in the blankets. Person in the front said for me to touch the blankets and remove them to replace them knowing theyre filthy and there was brown stains also. Sink table was cracked and the bottom under it was cracked and broken from being wet or soaked for so long. Stool chair very old and dirty with stick stuff. The room was completely unbearable to stay in, there was a smoke detector covered in cardboard from a cereal box. Room service 0-10

This hotel should not be an option on Expedia. If you are not familiar with San Francisco, you may not know that there are many many people living on the street and probably doing drugs. There is no where to park your car off the street and there is a good chance a car would be broken into in this area. You have to wait for someone to ring you in because it is not a safe area. I checked out the room and decided not to stay there because it was not very nice inside either.

The room was disgusting as was just about everything, told someone the toilet wasn’t working but they didn’t have maintenance available for 2 days, towel had holes in it and bedding had cigaret burns in several
Places. Tv working was the only positive I can possibly give!

Check the area out on Google before booking as it’s the most dangerous place in San Francisco!

Was among the cheapest rooms in the city, so I wasn't expecting much and didn't get much. Shared bathroom in the hallway, no coffee, no breakfast as advertised. The lights worked and it came with a bar of soap and had WiFi, that is about all. Very rundown property in what looked like a rough neighborhood. I had to choose between locking the window for safety while I slept or leaving it open to air out with a box fan, as the central fan didn't work. I chose to have a stuffy room.

One step above a crack house. First room had dirty walls, dirty floors, cigarette burns on mattress and holes in blanket, so asked to switch rooms. Second room had more of the same(albeit 10% better), so decided to just ask for blankets and towels and brave it. Turns out, the extra blanket we got also had holes and cigareete burns AND they were only able to offer one towel. STAY AWAY!

There was NO BREAKFAST, their amenities were contradicting, said there was an elevator & when you click more it states there isn't one. It states there is breakfast another false.
The people above our room were making noise and it got worse @ 3a, I went down to the front office & there was no one there & the door was locked. I tired to call & no one picked up the phone. I had ro turn on the TV to help drown out the noise. The remote didn't work & you couldn't lower the volume, so I was screwed either way.
I went & asked for 2 towels, was given 1 & was told they were waiting for the the laundry service to bring them in.
There is a hole in the mattress (I took a picture), where a spring was poking through, so every time I got out of bed it would scrape my leg.
The head of the bed was lower then our feet.
Look for a better place to stay. So not stay here!

I don’t care about the location but inside the hotel it was just dirty, I’m talking about the rooms. When I checked in that was quick and easy now once in the room there were no towels, I had to request them, and there was no tv remote, had to request that too and once I got it I couldn't get the tv to turn on at first but once I did I couldn’t watch anything so that was useless. There are windows in the room but nothing yo look out too which is fine but what my complaint about that is that there was trash and a dirty tampon outside which is gross. Lastly there was no friggin breakfast the door was lock so you had to ring the doorbell but I was doing all that and there was nothing out there so I just walked to a nearby market so overall this stay was sucky, I should be getting part of my money back for the no tv and not having our room ready with towels! And the no breakfast which was the reason for me booking!

TV was off its wall mount and leaned against the wall. Remote had dead batteries. Smoke detector (no battery)was being used as a prop to keep the window open with an Absolute vodka bottle stacked on top for more space. Thermostat was gone leaving the exposed connections on the wall. No towels. No soap. No shampoo. Leftover ice cream popcicle in the freezer. The mini fridge was turned up all the way completely turning the freezer into a giant ice box. Temperature control was stuck inside the ice. Air duct vent on the ceiling falling out, only being held by 1 screw. All of the blankets, sheets and pillows had cigarette burn holes. Even the ones they gave me when I asked for new ones. Wall painting has graffiti on the back of it. 3 light switches by the door, 1 worked for the lights, 1 broken/caved in, 1 did nothing as far as I could tell. Cigarette ash on the inside of the window, lots of garbage and cigarette butts in the outside window ledge. Over all the place was completely dirty and looked like it hasn't been wiped down in years. Floor was sticky and dirty. No continental breakfast. Younger guy who worked the counter was polite. I have photos but they are taking to long to upload.

Do not book! The pictures shown of the room must be the 1 and only nice room. The room I recieved was very different than pictured, dirty, smelled like pot and meth because there are literally drug users 24/7 outside the front of the hotel smoking and fighting. Even inside the hotel, I had a girl camp in the hollway and block my door. I will post pics of the actual room and the users outside my window if i can. Big sign behind counter as you check in says no refunds at any time. I visited all over san francisco. This is definately the worst neighborhood i encountered. Police station not more than a block away, but they didnt do anything. Staff was friendly, probably the best part of that hotel. Needs to be gutted and renovated. Missing fire alarms, wires hanging out of the wall. Looks like there was a fire in my room at some point. No attempt to even clean it up or paint over it. Just left it. The bed sheets seemed clean. I quadruple checked for bed bugs. Highly recommend to stay anywhere else. You will thank me later.

Horrible. My bed still had the sheets of the last person! Clearly dirty, disgusting smelly sheets with tobacco in the sheets! Huge burn holes in the sheets and pillow cases. Reeked of cigarette, super fresh from the last person. A smoked cigarette sitting on top of the headboard which would have fallen down if they’d changed the sheets or have been thrown away if they cleaned the room at all. They simply made the bed, that’s it. I had to go down the front desk, ask for sheets, and change them myself. Horrible area. Graffiti all over the walls. No screen in the windows and no AC, flying bugs because if it. No soap or paper towel in the bathrooms. Torn up box spring. Disgusting microwave with no plate in it and filled with old bits of food.

I was very surprised by the price of the Bay Hotel because of the location and the easy access to restaurants and transportation to the whole San Francisco area.
Unfortunately, the entrance of the hotel is completely surrounded by the local homeless and a drug users crowd that interacts in the 16th BART station.
Fortunately there are a daily police scheduled 24hs to make you feel secure.
The hotel is very clean and the staff is cordial and extremely friend.
Oli and her husband are excellent on sharing all information and making your stay a really pleasurable.
The room are clean up on a daily business and a set of towels are provided as well.
I was quite impressed of how they keep every floor clean and coffee are provided daily and a microwave is available to all on the reception.
The bedrooms are small but clean with a brand new TV provided with cable and good WiFi!
The bathrooms are shared but it’s again impressive CLEAN!
I really would like to emphasize that they rooms are pretty quite during the evening s.
My husband and I plan on return to San Francisco more often and we plan on staying o this hotel again because we loved the easy access to transportation and walk distance to restaurants, bars, pizza, you name it!

You get what you pay for. Money was tight for me. If you a heavy sleeper and don’t wake up to the receptionist arguing with the homeless at 3am that are right outside the hotel and just for a place to sleep and completely ok people under the influence coming in you should come here. I grew up in that kind of environment so it’s whatever to me. Be warm the reception wakes up at 11am in the back, so if you need to check out early chances are he won’t be there.

The Bay Hotel is surrounded by homeless people and drug users (even in the door). It is not possible to open the hotel door and go out. The smell - both from the weed smoking and urination - is very harsh that it is very difficult to walk on the foot path. Sometimes, it is very scary and not possible to go out after dark. Room and toilet are dirty. In the deep or midnight, the mentioned homeless people on the road are shouting that continuously disturb the entire sleeping. Smell of smoking inside the hotel is also very harsh even suffocating. It is clearly mentioned that breakfast is included but not provided. I strongly feel that they are doing knowingly. Even though, they mention to remove from the webpage, it still appears in the page. This is my first time to drop review or feedback in this way or platform. I strongly feel that I should drop the lines is that other fellows may avoid from such experience or they would book at least knowingly. I wish that I should experience such stuff again.

The room was not clean with holes through the bed sheets and cigarette burns in the walls. I was not given the room I booked as the pictures looked completely different to what I was given. Upon complaints I was only offered a partial refund with the option of checking out early.

The street is COVERED with homeless making it feel unsafe at night to walk around the streets. The room smelled of weed and the sink did not properly drain. When booking it said it would provide breakfast but when I got there they said they don’t offer it. No amenities within the room and no windows to open to get rid of the weed smell. Not worth the price what so ever and not worth booking at all.

Further more, there was a leak from the ceiling from a shower above... And they only give you a one towel! They offered no refund, and then at checkout they said they didn’t remember my deposit and had me waiting to refund my deposit while the taxi was patiently waiting.

Advert advertised breakfast included in the price, when I arrived for breakfast staff announce that they have not provided breakfast since the beggining of the COVID pandemic, therefore admitting that they have been false advertising for over 5 years. Advertised that there would be a microwave in the room, there wasn't. The fire detector had been ripped out in the room as well.
Room was generally clean, there was a little stains on the towels, otherwise the room was clean. There was damage to the sink in the room so needed to be careful not to cut self when using.
The room did not have any aircon so did get humid in the room.
Staff were polite and accommodating in general.
The biggest issue with this property is on the outside. The street seems to be a popular congregating place for the use of drugs. Upon arrival there must have been 20 people on the street doing drugs, their behaviour was erratic and on occasions violent. I did not feel safe going outside and I was apprehensive about them coming in as there were a couple occasions where someone would bang on the window/door.
Ultimately I would not stay here again, having explored the city a bit I would recommend a place down near the piers felt much safer around here.

I stayed here for Folsom Weekend. I made it to the hotel around 6:30pm & my room still wasn’t ready. There was no nearby parking & the entrance was blocked by homeless people.

The pros of this hotel: close to public transportation, lots of things in walking distance & if you’re in town for Folsom Street fair it’s walking distance. I go to 24hr Fitness & there was a gym within walking distance.

Cons: No guests, I was not informed of this “rule” until the 2nd day of my stay. Again, I was in for FSF weekend so this added a damper.
Homeless people, the perimeter of the hotel is blocked by homeless people which is intimidating & made me feel unsafe at times.
Shared bathroom, the bathroom at the end of the hall of the 3rd floor was terrible. The outlets didn’t work, the toilet is extremely close to the shower & there was no one to but my toiletries.
Can clearly hear neighbors, the way my window was positioned I was about to hear my neighbors conversations as clear as if they were speaking directly to me.
Dirty towels, my towels were dirty & had black spots
No ac
No extra lock, there’s no extra lock attachment
No parking
No rack to hang towels, they provide a sink in the room but there’s nowhere to hang towels or clothes

This place isn't for the faint of heart. The sidewalk right in front of the hotel is full of homeless people, and a lot of them were actively doing drugs whenever I walked by. When I first approached, one of the people on the street actively started insulting me and calling me slurs, which was scary because the front door of this hotel is normally locked so I had to wait to be let in.
The room itself was dire. We had a single window facing an interior space, which I thought would be nice to avoid the street noise, but it actually made the room unbearably hot even though it was *cold* outside. Running the provided fan didn't help. It also had a really heavy smoke smell for a smoke free room that actually made my eyes burn a little.
The bathroom seemed clean enough. The bed's sheets had a bunch of threads popping out and were thin, but there weren't bed bugs. The man at the front desk was nice. I did, however, end up getting a different hotel over by the Marina. I've done cheap hotels, but this was too much for me.

When I came back, he suddenly had “no rooms left” and didn’t even remember my situation clearly. To top it off, the cash deposit had magically gone up by $20.

Transients were piled up in front of the property and up and down the street. I was afraid to get out of the car since most of them were arguing with themselves while mucus spewed from their noses and mouth. The advertisement did not include sharing a bathroom. Horrible is an understatement.

Terrible stay

This hotel is in an area known as ‘the pit’ where homeless-ness and crime is high(we were warned by the customs officer not to walk the streets after 8pm, not to walk near crowds and advised take Ubers door to door). With nowhere else to stay we checked in, side- stepping homeless on our way in. The reception manager was very welcoming and friendly and tried to assure us there was nothing to worry about. The rooms were basic (as expected) but they were grubby and furniture & walls damaged. Before we had even got our bearing the manager bought us a change of bedding and offered to have our room cleaned, without prompting! We went out and a homeless person barged their way in on our return. That night we didn’t get any sleep due to the very loud people staying - TVs blaring, shouting and not pleasant language (it sounded like homeless had been allowed in to stay). A fight broke out in one room, furniture smashed and the police called (we heard the conversations through the walls). We genuinely feared for our safety. Next morning there was no sign of the reception manager, no breakfast or even drinks (no kettle in the rooms only a microwave and fridge). So we booked another hotel and checked out, with no refund and my message to hotels.com has been ignored.
I do not recommend this hotel - I was skeptical of some of the reviews but all the negative comments are true. I will not be booking this hotel again.

My wife and i had to share one towel to shower with. There was no fitted sheet to cover the mattress protective cover. Just a loose sheet and a rhin comforter There was a hole in the wall stuffed with a trash bag to cover it.

Staying here was a terrible mistake. The staff were extremely rude, and the entire property was old and filthy. Our bed sheets had holes in them, and the room had a strong, unpleasant odor. The bed was uncomfortable and made constant noise, making it nearly impossible to sleep through the night.

The walls are extremely thin — you can clearly hear people taking showers, climbing the stairs, and even loud noises from the street throughout the night. The lack of sound insulation made the stay even more unpleasant.

To make matters worse, it took us almost 30 minutes to check out in the morning because the front desk was closed. After a long wait, someone finally emerged from a back room, clearly just waking up and still yawning — and this was at 9 a.m.

This should not be on Hotels.com

The hotel itself is not a great location which is ok and for the price that would be ok, but the hotel and the room itself were no where compared to what was shown in the pictures. The manager was very receptive but looks like not a lot. Is under their control as they may have instructions from the owner to rent out rooms to fill the hotel.

The room I got did not have air conditioning, the walls were broken and patched up, the floor was not clean and sticky with dust on the floor. The bathroom was not completely clean, the shower area did not have any railings or counters to keep any toiletries. The towels given were bad and had steins on them. I requested for exchange and even the exchanged ones were not good. The room had a fridge that was half functional, a microwave that was smelling bad and a TV that did not work. It would have been ok if they did not have these, as opposed to having them at such conditions. Also, what was the minimum excepted that the rooms are neat. The cleaning was not done on a daily basis and when asked I was told that you have to pay tips if you wanted that. They cleaned my room once for a period of stay of 5 days and even after cleaning it was bad. (See the photos attached).

The worst part was people smoking weed from other rooms and people were so noisy in other rooms and my room start reeking of the weed smell on the last day. The manager and I went and asked people not to smoke and I was asked to keep my room open to let the smell go away 😳

Never again

The room was absolutely disgusting and I really want a refund. The guy at the front desk literally told me that “the room isn’t disgusting, but you should lower your standards” there were stains all over the bed. And the floor was sticky, and most of the furniture was broken. Ended up just driving home because you couldn’t sleep there. Also check in was at 3 but was told we couldn’t go to the room until it was cleaned at 6pm

In addition to being in a neighborhood that reflects deep American poverty, the word that would best define it is dirty. Everything is dirty, the room, the bathroom, the entrance staircase... When I arrived and was shown to my room, the smell of cigarettes and the smell of people who had previously occupied the room filled the room as soon as the door was opened. After seeing a second room, smelling of weed this time, I was offered a third without the smell of cigarettes or weed, but dirty... The manager had taken the time to take the toilet spray to perfume the room when I was waiting at the hotel entrance. The sheets, towels, table and sink were dirty (traces of mascara, pantyhose, etc.). As for the floor, it deserves a paragraph of its own (sticky enough to hold your best posters for the next decade). I was initially refused breakfast, even though it was included in the price, because “there are fewer people than last week”. I insisted and got a reheated coffee, probably from the week before. On the day of departure, I asked for my bag to be kept for the day, and was asked to pay $20. It was too much! I refused and expressed my dissatisfaction with the stay. He agreed to keep my bag free of charge on condition that I didn't write any negative comments, “that's up to you”, I was told.
As a result, this hotel fits in perfectly with its surroundings and the people who live there. Tourists, it is to be avoided absolutely, as is the neighborhood.

Easily the Worst Hotel I've Ever Stayed at

Rough neighborhood. Screaming people outside and in the hallway made sleeping extremely difficult. I had multiple people try to come into my room in the middle of the night. Eventually, someone started banging on my door while jimmying the handle. I had to jam the chair infront of the doorhandle for an extra layer of security. Sheets were dirty, overall a layer of stickiness on everything in the room...it just felt grimy. I only stayed one night of my two night reservation because of how unsafe I felt. Owner refused to refund the 2nd night because I didnt tell him about the issue until after the fact, but it felt too unsafe to leave my room at the time it was happening.

Sad state of affairs

Someone from the hotel called me because they were closing at midnight and I had not checked in yet. They said they cancelled my reservation and hung up on me! I had to go find another hotel at 2am and pay a lot more. AND they didn't refund my money.

So dirty. There was a blanket with poop and pee on it in the shared bathrooms and it wasn’t cleaned the entire time we were there. They didn’t have extra towels and the towels they did give us were stained.

The lady on reception was lovely, unfortunately it’s the only good thing I can say about the place.

The location is terrible, so many homeless people in large groups outside made it feel very unsafe and I can’t even describe the smell. I had to get taxis straight from the door to where I needed to go, luckily it was only for one night.

I suspect the homeless are using this hotel as it’s so cheap. They are either partying or arguing in the corridor until at least 4am. It feels very unsafe, I didn’t sleep. The room itself came with dirty bedding, bath sheets and a horrible smell.

HONESTLY PLEASE pay the extra and go somewhere clean, safe and comfortable. I waited until it went quiet in the corridor and left as soon as I could in the early hours.

The staff was friendly and helpful. He gave us great us suggestions of places near by to visit and eat. The continental breakfast was good it included several drink choices( coffee, milk, orange, cranberry and lemonade juice) and cereal or toast. They also provided a once use toothbrush and toothpaste. There's are homeless around that area and can be noisy.
