The staff are amazing. Super friendly and accommodating. They are still implementing covid protocol so there isn’t regular cleaning unless requested and there is no room service. I’m a native San Franciscan and covid has seriously impacted the city. SF is having a hard time right now. Especially downtown. This is the first time I’ve felt a little unsafe in SF. Just be aware of your surroundings when you walk around the area.

The place is good for the price. The bed is super uncomfortable and not much air flow if you want privacy. Shower head was broken so water was squirting everywhere and there was a lot of hair in the shower drain. There's a big gap at the bottom of door so don't sleep facing that side. The cleaning lady was vacuuming at like 8 in the morning and that gap didn't help.
