You get what you pay for the parking was nice and convenient. The lobby looks nice, but the building itself is very outdated and kinda hard to navigate. Everything is very creeky. It’s hard to be quiet and the walls are pretty thin so you can hear a lot of what’s going on around you. The carpets feel quite dirty, and there was a stain in the corner of the wall that was suspicious. The shower was a bit janky as well, but good water pressure. The outlets on the table did not work. They just couldn’t hold an outlet. They were so loose. They had a TV though which was nice. We watched Family Guy overall if you’re looking for a luxury stay this wouldn’t be the place to go, but if you’re looking for a cheap place for one night it’s very doable.

Upon arrival I was yelled at and scrolled by the staff for trying to enter from the parking lot , despite there being signs saying to use the side door that leads to the parking lot as entry. The staff shooed me away and told me check in was at 3. Once I got to my room I discovered how filthy it was in there. Stained sheets. The carpet smelled like piss. It was very dusty in there. It was unacceptable. I had to make reservations else where. I asked for a refund but the front desk refused and wouldn’t let me speak with management. His excuse was that management aren’t in on the weekends. I strongly suggest everyone should avoid this place at all costs. Don’t be fooled like I was. You deserve to be treated better.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but I feel it's important to share my experience.
Unfortunately, my room was very dirty. The first night, the bed didn't feel clean, and there was dirt or debris between the sheets. It also had a bad smell. A few days into our stay, I asked the housekeeper for fresh towels and clean sheets. Instead of changing them, she simply handed me the towels and bedding and expected me to do it myself. Housekeeping never took out the trash or picked up the dirty towels during our stay, and the housekeeper had an attitude when I asked. When I stripped the bed to replace the sheets, I found a huge urine stain on the mattress, which explained the smell. There was also mold on the wall near the window. The carpets clearly hadn't been vacuumed because you could feel dirt while walking barefoot.
There was no A/C, only a metal heater that was difficult to use, and there was no internet access. The only positives were the excellent water pressure, the friendly and pleasant male receptionist, and the beautiful surrounding area. Maybe this was just my room, but based on my experience, I won't be staying here again. Cleanliness should be the bare minimum, and unfortunately this hotel fell far short.

Negatives:
Staff was uninformed/untrained to resolve even basic room/guest concerns/issues.

1. No heat (room 510 was freezing). Desk staff had no idea how to fix it. He only turned up old hot-water-pipe radiator heat for whole building. I explained to him that it was warm everywhere else (hallway, lobby, etc.) - just my room was affected - but he did not listen. I then figured out that the heat was shut off on the actual room radiator and simply turned the open/close switch on and it fixed the issue. I resolved it.

2. TV did not work. Staff had no idea how to fix. I troubleshot it and the HDMI cable was plugged in to the wrong source. I plugged in the HDMI source correctly and resolved it myself.

3. Hotel room was clean but old.

4. Hallways/elevator dingy and dark.

5. No coffee maker provided.

6. No refrigerator provided.

7. Witnessed multiple other guests with complaints ranging from no maid service for days, to non-functioning room keys.

Positives:
1. Clean.
2. Cheap.
3. Comfortable bed.
4. Good shower curtain.
5. Hair dryer was provided.

Awfully noisy, like insane noisy, the heater or whatever that old pipe is, it's so loud that sounds like a construction is going on in the room. We could not sleep at all. You can hear the neighbors even talking. Worst hotel I stayed in my life. Avoid at all cost.

First of all the staff were pretty helpful and accommodating so this is not about the service but the hotel itself.

I was sooo disgusted by this hotel. It was horribly disgusting, gross, run down, smelly, dirty just gross all around. The beds were so uncomfortable, the tub was dirty and still hair from previous stay, there were no outlets in the bathroom and only 2 in the whole room instead there were extensions cords. The desk was falling apart, literally. The desk chair was stained with what seemed like blood and smelled like pist. I swear I felt I was going to catch something by just being there; unfortunately I had nowhere else to go or place available given that it was the holiday so I’m thankful I had somewhere to sleep. But yea this is NOT Embassy suites by Hilton do not be fooled like I was.

Good value for the price. Rooms are nothing special but it's a clean place to sleep with a private bathroom. Parking onsite for $30 was convenient. A bit of a sketchy area but if you're alert and exercise common sense you'll be fine.

There is no air conditioning, the rooms are outdated and smells musty. Rooms are portrayed bigger online than in reality. It was loud from outside noise including yelling, sirens. The area did not feel safe for families. The McDonald’s had a security guard at the door which is a few doors down from the hotel.

The hotel has a lot of character, and it was cool staying in an original hotel building. Great little coffee shop attached as well.
The cleanliness however wasn’t up to how I expected (hair in shower when we arrived, and stained pillow cases that didn’t fit the pillows).
The area as well didn’t feel the safest if you ventured from the hotel and so we got taxis back most nights.

The carpet in the room was unbelievably gross, sticky and filthy. we had to wear shoes in the room and laid towels on the walking area for when we had to walk on it right after a shower. The bathroom door handle was hanging by a thread. The bathroom sink had a pillar in front of it so you had to use the sink diagonally. The shower/bathtub could keep water in it from the show curtain. We asked for house keeping and the guy at the front counter who as to busy watching videos on his phone said he would have the room cleaned. We came back late in the day and they still had not cleaned. I asked again since we would be leaving again for a few hours and they still not do it. 4 days 3 nights and cleaned only 1 time. The landline phone in the room to call front desk and housekeeping would just go to a fast busy signal. WiFi didn't work and when ask for anther pillow 3 different employees at different times said no. Only one elevator and you had to share with housekeeping and those employees would make sure they got it first. Completely rude. No refrigerator, coffee maker or blow dryer in the room. THIS HOTEL IS SURROUNDED BY HOMELESS AND DRUG ADDICTED PEOPLE. IT IS NOT SAFE TO WALK AREOUND OUTSIDE. This was a very run down hotel. I guess its my fault since I thought I was booking a Embassy Suites, not a Embassy Hotel. DO NOT EVER STAY HERE! Also, $30 a day to park.

Staff seemed very friendly. The hotel itself was pretty dated and elevator was slow and I had to use stairs to go down from the 5th floor.
The room also dated and hard to find the outlets to charge my phone.
I was there for one night in the end of June and I felt a bit cold in the room. Also I could hear someone screaming outside, of course it was not the hotel’s fault. I wish the city was much nicer environment.
This hotel was very easy access to downtown attractions and only 30 mins bus ride to the beach too.

We were given a room on the 6th floor. Despite being told that the heater was working in every other room and other people were complaining about it being too hot, ours was ice cold. And all theit extra blankets were being used. How does this happen when everyone else is so hot?!
Then we discovered that the door did not lock at all and anyone could have walked into our room overnight.
They gave us a new room for the 2nd night and despite being assured the heat would definately work, low and behold, it didn't and they only had 1 extra bed cover to give usand no blankets.
Other then that, the first rooms bath/shower ran the whole time despite it being turned off the most we could and the second rooms bathroom had hair on all the bathroom walls.
Completely miserable stay!

This hotel looks nothing like the pictures. It is old and creepy. The location of the hotel is not nice, lots of homeless and it is dirty. The elevator is super old and very small me and my friend did not fit in together with our backpacks and suitcases. It was very very run down, I left 10 minutes after checking in and found a new hotel because I was scared. I still have not received a refund for my 3 night stay, when I left within 10 minutes of checking out. I would never recommend this hotel. Very very disappointed

Overall, this hotel was just okay. The front desk staff was friendly and welcoming, which made check-in pleasant. The little shop a close to the hotel was great. The bed was comfortable, but the room itself felt old and dated.

The surrounding area didn't feel very safe, and the parking situation was a bit unsettling, although it was adequate. The hotel only had one small elevator, and while it worked, it definitely felt a little sketchy.

The rooms don't have air conditioning. Since there were no screens on the windows, we had to choose between being uncomfortably warm or leaving the window open and worrying about bugs and the outside noise.

We also tried the coffee shop, but it was overpriced and the coffee wasn't very good.

Overall, the hotel met our basic needs, but I would probably look for another option next time.

Well located, but the place is an old building and nothing to offer beside the room not on going cleaning available. It was very cold room and I asked for extra blanket which they could not provide. They said to put on the radiator which didn’t work to warm up the room the room itself is OK if you want low budget hotel for last choice that’s a good place to be.

I would not recommend this hotel. The room was not clean when we arrived, and there was a bad smell that made the stay uncomfortable. The room did not feel fresh or well maintained, and it was not the kind of place I would want to stay in again.

For travelers looking for a clean and comfortable hotel, I would suggest booking somewhere else. Based on my experience, I do not recommend staying here.

There was no air conditioning in the room. There was no many fridge. I'm pretty noisy with the trash truck early early in the morning
I did ask for extra pillow and blanket, but was told they have no extras.. If you want your room to be refreshed, you have to let the front desk know they don't automatically do it. And there is a sign that tells you that up front but didn't see that till later.

The front desk guy was wonderful, very friendly and helpful. The room did not have AC and it was pretty warm the first day we were there but we were able to open up the windows and that was enough to keep our room comfy but if it was any hotter it would have been uncomfortable especially in the elevator and halls.
The hotel’s location makes it easy to access different points of interest throughout the city, but the neighborhood is kinda sketchy once you get a couple blocks away (at night esp, but we didn’t have any problems at all)
It was a clean cheap hotel centrally located with friendly staff, checked all the boxes for us besides AC.
Parking lot is safe $30/night with an attendant there watching over during the day so I felt extra safe leaving my car all three days.

No thermostat so if you want it colder you leave the windows open, which if you’re not used to the city is just really loud. Rooms were clean and reasonably sized but parking is not included so plan to add at least $30 to your bill.

Unfortunately, I did not have a good experience staying at this hotel. The property felt very old and poorly maintained. When I showered, the bathtub did not drain properly and the water would rise above my ankles. The bed had an unpleasant odor, and the heater kept turning on repeatedly throughout the night, making it difficult to rest comfortably.

Overall, the cleanliness and maintenance did not meet my expectations. I would not choose to stay here again.

Windows were falling out if the casing, I physically had to remove it from the track and put it back in. Also they were paper thin so you heard every conversation on the street. And since this hotel is in the Tenderloin the conversations were spicy. Beds are the cheap metal frames from Amazon with a mattress on top. Same with the curtains, cheap from Amazon. Nothing was commercial grade. Furniture that wasn't from Amazon looked 2nd hand, but like cheap FB Marketplace 2nd hand that needs some work. The photos online are NOT an accurate depiction of the rooms.

Definitely an old place, but I found it cool & interesting. Very art deco. Everything was clean and worked as it should. The people at the front desk were very friendly & helpful. We were close to the 5 bus which helped us get most places we needed to go. Apparently the area was supposed to be unsafe but I didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary (Yes, there were unhoused people, some who were obviously having difficulty with mental or substance issues, but not more than any other large city). We got way more than expected with the price we paid.

Terrible hotel, smelled musty, bed was horrible! Literally was just springs and hurt every time I tried to turn over. It was very cold and we asked for extra pillows and a blanket and they gave us some sort of thin bed cover that would slide right off. There was loud construction going on right outside our window and when we asked about moving rooms they said the only one they had available was worse than the room we had. So we had to stay in that smelly room with the worse bed I have ever slept in! Worst hotel stay ever!!

I was told parking came with the room rate only to find out that the parking was extra $30/d after a bad discussion with parking personnel - parking is a separate business. Elevator has not been inspected since 2012 per notice in the elevator. It is slow and at times shakey. No refrigerator nor microwave in the room. When taking a warm shower, it got hot after next room flushed. Signs tend to be confusing. It was inexpensive so I got what I paid for.

Parking was easy though not especially secure, but reasonable value. The little coffee shop attached to the hotel is very nice, though with limited hours. There was aSunday Farmers' market in the plaza nearby that was an unexpected plus. The immediate neighborhood does not have many other places to eat. The broken smoke alarm was fixed promptly but not the dripping faucet; Having staff at the desk 24 hours a day is essential in that neighborhood--on one side it is fine but about two blocks away things get sketchy. Very good location otherwise, near BART and a Market St trolley line that goes all the way to fisherman's wharf.Staff were friendly and accommodating to requests.Remarkably good value overall.

When I complained that I wanted my money back, hotels.com reimbursed me but the hotel kept my deposit for both nights so basically they paid themselves anyway using my money that I left as deposit.
