This place is awesome if you know what you're getting into. The parking is limited. Just assume ahead of time there is none and that you'll need to find your own parking What you really should do is find a park-and-ride and take the NUMI bus or come in using a Uber or Lyft. There is no drop off spot. You pull over, put on the hazards, and throw everyone out the car before the light changes. But that's where the negative ends. Staff is nice. Housekeeping is nice. Rooms are awesome. It's a real experience and with the hotel being on the East West border between the Tenderloin and The Fillmore and Geary being on the North South border between the Fillmore and Japan Town, there is A LOT to experience. Also, this hotel is right between the Fillmore Theatre and the Bill Graham Civic Center. You can go West down Geary for one or South down Van Ness to the other.

ROOM: The room I got, 212 was small but efficient & with a good amount of storage. No view other than a fire exit though lol but it wasn't really a problem since I was...read full review
