Waking distance to a decent coffee shop and a bar Smelled like cigarettes in the lobby and chemicals in the room. Run down rooms. Didn't look clean.

No bed bugs at least The staff at the Monarch were not helpful in the least. They watched as I struggled to load the luggage cart, watched as I struggled to get it into the elevator, failed to tell us where parking or the valet were, almost got my car towed, the valet damaged my car, the room was laid out so that I had to walk across one bed to get into the room, the toilet gurgled all night, and to top it off: the hotel is in a bad part of town across from the community center.

Rooms very small, expensive parking. Being pregnant it freaked me out seeing their big sign as you check in about their building having some prop and may cause birth defects, has an odd smell to it. Maybe old. But I would prefer my super 8 that I stayed I night before

Very friendly staff, everything was clean and smelled nice. The room was not too small, and the bed was perfectly comfortable. Our bathroom sink did not have hot water.

Cute and comfortable! Loved the decor, thw rooms were cute, the bathtub was wonderful (i took a long bath) and the bed was clean and comfy. Easy walking distance to some yummy restaurants. My only complaint would be that when i went to check in, the staff at the front desk didn't show up for a good ten minutes. when they finally did show up they were rude- wouldn't make eye contact, didn't say hello...I'm not sure what his deal was but it was a weird interaction. but other than that one issue the hotel was a lovely stay.

The hotel offer a good price, clean rooms, close to Polk St. and many cafes and restaurants. The location can be a little upsetting at night.

Good location for my purposes; and the price was right. Comfortable bed and clean bathroom. The desk clerk was friendly and helpful (a big difference from last year, when the former male clerk went out of his way to be obnoxious). The porno house across the street is gone. Very bad unidentifiable smell in the room. I was too tired to ask for a change, so have only myself to blame.

The bathroom and beds were clean. We did not like the neighborhood and the smell inside the hotel. We felt very uncomfortable while walking on the street in the evening. The staff wasnt friendly.

Very noisy. People yelling outside the hotel and ambulance contsnatly driving by until 4am. Its an excellent hotel, unless of course, the guest wishes to sleep. I ended up checking out after night 1 of my three day trip to SF.

The guy at the front desk checked us in 3 hours early just to be nice. They were very accommodating when we checked out too - let us leave our luggage there until we returned. They were prompt about getting us anything we needed during our stay. It is very close to Fisherman's Warf (20 min. Bus ride - and the buses come every 3 - 6 min.) and a whole lot cheaper than anything at the war The elevator is definitely old and slow. It only fits 5 people (barely) and it can be incredibly slow - so our recommendation is take the stairs when you come down in the morning.

Easy to get, independence (you do not have to talk with the staff), quiet although there is some noise outside. The internet only works near the front desk (I think is a misconfiguration) and most of the time is very slow.

I didnt like the location. The neighbourhood is very very dodgy. As a female traveling alone, I didnt feel comfortable walking around in the neighbourhood. Not value for money considering what I paid, and the poor location. No laundry services available on site the hotel.
