It was clean and I didn’t mind it for the price. The only thing I couldn’t get the remote of the TV to work and for some reason I couldn’t get my clothes steamer to work when I connected it to the wall, but it did work when charging my phone. The neighborhood is decent. There’s a Whole Foods or a couple blocks and a Safeway is the opposite way.

Stayed 3 nights in July 2026. Great location, close to the Giants stadium, but the parking situation is NOT good. The price is cheap for a reason as you'll have to pay additional $30-35 for a night of parking. Shared bathroom is ok as we knew that coming in. You will get a better deal staying at Motel 6 w/ free parking and your own bath.

This was a great place to stay for a solo traveller and the folks working the desk were really helpful. The chair in the room had shredded upholstery but the beds were comfy and clean. You can hear the music from the bar below but I considered it a bonus because the band was pretty good and not overly loud. This isn't like staying in a chain hotel, but it was great for what I needed and I felt safe.

I called ahead to let the staff know I’d arrive a few days late for my two week booking. They said it was fine.

When I arrived, tired after a long day driving, they screamed at me and mocked me and ordered me to leave.

I could barely understand what had happened and then I realized not only did they treat me awfully, they intended to keep the entire extra 10 days of money after letting me stay 0 days.

There’s a reason this is the cheapest hotel in SF. It is because it is ran by thieves. Which is tragic because it seems to be family ran, how can anyone with a family try to steal.

I spoke with Expedia and got 80% refunded. Stay here at your own risk. The location is great. The owners are thieves.

Flooring it’s really sticky smells bad pillows. Inside the covers are dirty. The rooms are very hot. If you open the windows the noise outside from the traffic. It’s really loud. They rent rooms for a long period of times I see that they look like little apartments the building looks crooked even going down the stairs you have to go sideways. If you wanna get in the building you have to call the number in order for them to bust you in as there’s no direct access that guy got upset when we were checking out because we called the window to return. The key bathroom is shareable. They have no paper to cover the toilet. The building is really outdated with amenities that they provide. I search around and there’s similar prices and other details without sharing the bathroom very clean definitely not coming back to this one.

This week, I stayed in room 306 at the Utah hotel. The room had two drawers, a table, and a chair. However, the sink was worn and it took an extremely long time for the water to get hot. As a result, I resorted to using the sink in the shower to freshen up. I hope this issue is resolved soon so there is not a line to take a shower. I appreciate the convenient location, as it’s a short walk to Kaiser and close to the Giants stadium. The hotel is gradually undergoing renovations, so I’m optimistic the rooms will be improved in the future.

The Utah Inn is a great option if you are looking for an inexpensive place to stay. Its location is a major plus close to Oracle Park - Go Giants!!, Whole Foods, the Moscone Convention Center, Trader Joe’s, Ross, and other convenient spots. I especially enjoy $1 Wing Wednesdays at the historic Hotel Utah Saloon, and their happy hour margaritas are delicious, $6.

The Utah Inn itself has a historic, European-style charm. The water is reliably hot, and they provide basic toiletries like soap, shampoo, and lotion. I do recommend bringing extra towels and sandals for the shared showers.

I stayed here many times and have always felt safe. There are cameras throughout the hotel, and the bathrooms and showers are cleaned daily. For the price and location, it’s a solid choice.

First off : The no smoking signs and “$250 fine” Must not be working whatsoever. The entire hotel stunk of weed and cigarettes.

My rooms windows were permanently stuck open about half an inch. You could hear everything and it didn’t help with the room being freezing to begin with.

The shared bathroom had hair everywhere, The towels they give you for the bathroom are also paper thin and very very small.

There were no options for room service (bed to be made or sheets to be changed) but there also wasn’t an option for them to NOT come into your room.

The bed was the most decent part of the hotel. There were no trash cans, drawers or a dresser to use at all. The location is alright, a lot of homeless and not the safest if you’re traveling alone. The pictures definitely should be updated because it was not how it was portrayed online.

Nothing to do with the bar. So I hope this review doesn't affect their rating because the bar is fun. I assumed it was the bar and asked the staff when I arrived and they told me when I could find the hotel. There's a door around the corner. A buzzer will let you in, and you have to walk up a carpeted stair case that stank, not the best start.

The staff were fine from the few interactions I had with them.

The building is old and in really bad condition. Bad smells everywhere. The smell is a mix of food, airfreshner and urine (possibly the homeless using the doorway as a toilet.

However the most important part, the room, was very clean and in much better condition than the rest of the place. The linens were fresh, the bed was fine, pillows however were so lumpy and messed my neck up. I went around the room with a wet wipe and it was still clean when I had finished which is great.

The door to my room was old and didn't fit the door frame, leaving big gaps that I blocked up with a towel every night just to be safe and to stop any smells coming in. My door lock was knackered, and all the screws were falling out.

Windows are old, and let a lot of noise through. The bar downstairs has bands which you can hear and feel very clearly so be aware on the weekend. There's a freeway outside.

Big TV with lots of channels. Sink in the room and big fan on ceiling.

Shared bathroom was clean.

Would I preferred to stayin in a mainstream hotel, yes. Did I save $1000 by staing here, yes.

The reception or 1st level is on the 2nd floor with no elevator. They didn’t say that on the hotel description. Then as you climb the stairs to get 2nd floor, it smells and the floor carpet is so dirty. The hallways carpet are dirty. The room I’m in was renovated like what they show in the pictures. Room 206 has a hard wood floor which was the one thing that was good about this hotel and the sheets are white. However, the floor in this room feels uneven. The uneven floor will give you a feeling that you will fall out of bed every night. I was prepared with the shared bathroom but they don’t provide anything in the bathroom not even a floor mat when you are wet from taking a shower. The shower and toilet are separate but there’s only one in each floor. There are about 11 rooms in the 2nd floor. The shared toilet has no toilet cover and there’s no sink in the toilet, you have to go to the bathroom to wash your hand or go back to your room where there’s a sink. They give you 2 very thin and small towels and a hand towel. They give you a soap, shampoo and lotion. There’s no other amenity at this hotel. There is a bar downstairs and they play live music every night. It is so loud and you can feel the vibration of speakers in your room. Even when the bar/lounge close at midnight or 1am, you will not get any sleep because there’ll be cars parked outside and they blast their speakers until early morning. Lack of sleep. The plus is the it’s a cheap hotel 3 blocks from Moscone.

The stay at the Utah Inn was nice. It’s a good stay if you’re in for a couple of days. I would say it’s a little hard to get a hold of staff at times but they’re accommodating when you need something. I think the smell in the hallways could be fixed, maybe stronger cleaning material for the scent and what the rooms look like. It is pretty quiet and nice in the building. My room did not come with towels but it would be nice to have extra sheets or towels just in case. The bathrooms are nice as well, those are a great part about the hotel. The staff is pretty kind when interacting with them. On the fourth floor, there is a cat that stays there but I think it would be nice to have warning sign for animals just for safety precautions.

I get down to ask where can we park & check in, and the bar lady said they were not related with the hotel, that I need to go around and called the number on the door. NOBODY ANSWERED, and no info at all. At that point I ensure to booked a safe Hotel A REAL ONE this time, and later that night when i checked for more info, it seems like there's NO CHECK IN AFTER 5:30 PM .

I honestly liked this place. I’m not sure why the reviews aren't higher? The owner and his family are really kind, and helpful. It’s in a really great location too. I stayed there solo and felt safe. There’s a dive bar directly below the hotel with really good food and an awesome interior and really cool bartenders. There’s an incredible Mediterranean place, Pho place, and upscale cocktail restaurant, all, a block away. The room itself was on the 4th floor, and really clean and cute and had a sink inside, which was really convenient. There’s a shared bathroom, and I didn’t have any problems with that. It’s was two blocks from the convention center where I was working. It is noisy because it’s right by the freeway, but never obnoxiously noisy, and with ear plugs, I had 0% issues sleeping.

I enjoyed my stay. I read the reviews and I’m surprised people are surprised, disappointed, or critical. My stay here was 1/4 of the price of anywhere else in San Francisco.. Not sure what others would have expected at that price point… I stayed a full week. If you’re looking for the “Hotel experience” this isn’t it. If you’re looking for a cheap, safe, (relatively) clean place to stay that is a step up from a shared hostel this is it. I will say it is very loud on the weekends. Again for the price I payed.. I thought it was an absolutely great option. If you're a hotel person who wants amenities. This place probably is not for you. If you’re cool with hostels or simply want a cheap place to stay, the Utah Inn is a great option.
