I do not have a car, but I was still able to get around the city. Great location. Everything was walkable. Unfortunately, the property was not able to reflect the convenience. Lovely staff they were overall very nice. My room unfortunately, was not up to the standards that I expected. I wish there was more of a deep cleaning on all the units. A little more TLC for each room before someone stays.

My hotel room was very clean and comfortable to use as a base for visiting San Francisco. For the price and location, the Mosser can't be beat. I would have appreciated an ice machine/bucket for my stay.

I am a return lodger at the Mosser. It is clean, quiet, convenient. The staff are great. You have to get up in the morning and search for your morning brew, especially if you enjoy a light breakfast with your coffee. But, SF is a great place to find these amenities. Enjoy!

All though there was many great things about this hotel like the many shops around and the cleanliness; parking was a huge issue for me. When trying to park near it was very difficult to find parking which was the only issue I had at all.

Staff was extremely unhelpful, we flew in at 9:30pm, at this time all parking garages were fully locked shut with metal bars. The night shift staff were not knowledgeable about this fact and directed us to a spot that had already been sealed shut for the night, we tried offering to pay vallet to park our car for us which this hotel no longer offers. We were forced into canceling our stay and find a hotel that had a spot for us to park after attempting to find a spot for over a hour. The Mosser hotel then informed us you have to pay for the night even though we didn't stay at all in their room. By far the worst experience if your new to SF be sure to get a hotel with a vallet or be prepared to have issues getting your car in and out at night.

The hotel is one of the cheaper ones in the downtown SF area vs others. Staff is friendly and helpful. It is very convenient from many tourist locations. It is not luxury and rooms are not modern. There are rooms with no bathroom, so make a note of that. I chose one with a bathroom. The doors also have an opening at the top so your room will never be fully dark. There also is quite a bit of noise from guests opening and closing their own doors throughout the night. Rooms are very small so consider that fact. If solo it's a decent stay for cheaper. If with family or larger group I'd say stay in a different location. Overall it was a good experience. The sheets are not as clean as I would have liked but for the price not much can be asked in Downtown SF.

I did not have a car. On check-out day, I was going to pick up the car from the nearby Budget car rental, and the front desk was kind enough to assure me that it was okay to park a few minutes outside until I picked up the luggage from the front desk. I was going to leave my suitcases at the front desk before walking to the car rental.

This building has been a hotel for 100 years and it shows. Its really a cool building and a great value for where it is and how convenient access is to downtown SF. But, rooms are small, no AC, and if you need the windows open you get all the city noise and ambiance so bring ear plugs. Staff is nice but no breakfast, just coffee. Make sure you book a room with an attached bathroom if you dont want to use the clean but shared bathroom down the hall 40's style. Walls are thin btw... If work is paying you may want to look at larger chains on the street but if you need a reasonably priced option this works well. If you like vintage this could be cool for you. It was clean and bed was comfortable.

For the price, given the location, you can’t beat this San Francisco hotel. Cool old vibe room that had a good bed, bathroom, and view. Next time I am in the area and needing a spot to stay, I will definitely be rebooking this spot. Parking is the only difficulty: I recommend to find a spot that compromises price and walking distance.

Located very close to Powell St. BART station, Trader Joe’s is just a few step away and Target and the Metreon movie theater are one block away in the opposite direction.
Many shops and restaurants within walking distance.
The rooms are small but comfortable and safe.
Keep in mind that you’ll be in the big city; the windows are double-paned but you’ll still be able to hear some street noise but not loud enough to keep you from sleeping.
Mini blinds; no black-out shades or drapes.

I stay here often and highly recommend.

The location is excellent and the Wi-Fi is great, but the building itself has visible dust everywhere (both in rooms and common areas) and almost no climate control in the room, which means things can get very uncomfortable and sneezy very fast. The shower was nice, but the faucet was real finicky, at least on the fourth floor. For the price it's definitely competitive, but if you prioritize comfort, you might want to keep looking.

The room had everything we needed. We stayed during the Superbowl and had no issues running into other guests when we needed the shared shower or bathroom. It was cleaned and well maintained and we were very happy with our stay. The weather was great, so no AC was not an issue for us. The ceiling fan and window was all we needed. But if it was hotter outside, we may have struggled without it. Great customer service and great location. We dont ask for a lot when we travel and are happy with all the basics. But if you prefer a four seasons, then obviously look elswhere!

I’ve stayed at this hotel at least 20 times over the past few years. The room quality hasn’t changed much and needs an upgrade . However my stay this time was one of the worst I’ve experienced and most likely will.be the last time I stay. There . The room was on the second floor and around 1
1AM delivery trucks began to show up and the entire night it was loud as a stadium out front and I don’t know who is more at fault . They should comp me a room for getting maybe an hour of sleep the entire night . We shall see

Bigger doesnt necessarily mean better. Case in point: The Mosser Hotel in SF soma/yerba buena. Im not sure just how many rooms are for rent but its a lovely older building that has been completely restored on the inside. Thebstaffbis friendly knowledgeable and propwr. The Mosser stands in the shadow of the gargantuan monstrosity the Marriott Marquis. Ive stayed at both and going forward I will always choose thr Mosser if its available. Do you and yours a favor and stay here when you can. I believe it would qualify as pampering yourself.
