Perfect Stay for All Star Weekend
I knew the reviews were good, but the property still exceeded my expectations. The location was simply perfect, with a convenience store next door and a short walk to the Bart station. The shared bathroom was always clean and accessible. The staff was friendly and greeted me every time I came in. I was there for NBA All Star weekend, so it was the perfect distance from the Chase Center. I will definitely keep them on the top of my list when I'm in the San Fran area.

The hotel staff are very nice especially Hans, Armida and Tracy. They are very accommodating with my request. I enjoyed staying at this hotel. It's worth money spent. The place is nice and close to various business establishments. It is highly recommended to budget conscious travelers.

It did what it said on the tin. It was super cheap and suited my needs for being central, walkable to everything. The single bed in a small room and shared bathroom between a load of rooms on the same floor may not be suitable for some but for me being hardly there other than to sleep and have a quick shower it definitely did the job.
