Pros: Good location and a pretty house
Cons: We stayed for 5 nights and had a very uncomfortable bed also room was very noisy as we were below a kitchen and were woken every morning by staff getting breakfast ready at 7 am and constant flow of guests Breakfast was poor if bagels ran out they were not replenished with more so hard luck if you wanted a later breakfast there may be very little left to eat.

Cons: The room did not have a safe (I am fan of these when travelling). The street outside can be a little noisy (which did not overly bother me) plus noise from other guest rooms can be heard. The bath was a little small.

4.6 Okay
Pros: Liked the people working there. Liked the breakfast provided.
Cons: Room, bedding & furniture outdated. Small window looked out to narrow space between buildings. Toilets & showers down the hall. First shower tried was dated and finishes worn. Second shower a bit better. No place to hang towels in room, other than a hook, where they did not dry. Parking was horrendous. Had to walk down to the 16th & Market area, one of the dirtiest areas of Market, with urine smell everywhere. Told by management that it was $22.00 for 24 hrs. Turned out to be $30.00. We stayed here because we had seen some good reviews. Way too expensive for facility like this. Ownership takes no responsibilty for any potted plants or anything inviting at front door. Very sketchy area with people sleeping on the sidewalk. No parking in front of building to unpack bags. Two sets of steep stairs to carry bags up. Needless to say, we cannot recommend this facility.

Pros: Great location and having a front room facing the busy street and an intersection tended to be a little noisy Hosts were friendly and shared their knowledge of the Castro area freely and well advised on specific questions asked
Cons: I didn’t realize when booking that the bathroom & toilet wasn’t as an en-suite (my fault & should have read more carefully) From our room it was a fair distance to these facilities especially for any night toilet visits Furnishings perhaps a little dated but perhaps I’m nit picking a little Breakfast room very small and hence congested if there are 6 people trying to eat st the same time

Pros: Great location in the heart of the Castro. Staff was very friendly and helpful when arriving. Plus, it's a very neat hotel.

Cons: One of the shared bathrooms on our floor was not working as a shower. Needs bigger beds but as we paid for a queen size bed that's what we got. Windows could be better to keep the traffic noise out as it can be quite noisy when the trams go past.

6.7 Good
Pros: Staff was friendly, there was a sink in the room.
Cons: Everything was quite dated and the toilet and shower were a bit of a walk through the hallway. No lift so you carry everything up several flight of the stairs.
5.4 Okay
Pros: The new bathroom was pretty cool and clean. Handy to have a Safeway up the road and Walgreens Pharmacy across the road. Walking distance to Alamo Square/Painted Ladies. The location was not as handy as I would have liked.
Cons: It’s a very old building - which doesn’t bother me but the old carpets should be ripped up and the bed covers could be updated. It does not have a lift so you need to take stairs up to your room (only 3 or 4 floors). This didn’t bother me much but I didn’t have much baggage. Although not very hot outside, I found the room was very hot. It had windows but did not circulate air. No air conditioning - could at least have a ceiling fan. Very noisy street noise - rubbish/street sweeper and also homeless in the early hours sounding like they’re rummaging through garbage. My room was facing the street.

Pros:
Cons: There was an unusual heatwave in San Francisco when we were there and the rooms got unbearably hot. A lot of SF buildings don't have A/C which is fine, but we should have been offered a fan at least. It was difficult to sleep at night with the heat.

Pros: This was a nice location. They moved me to a different room with a better view with no problem.
Cons: They originally had me in a room not overlooking market Street, as was in my booking, but they accommodated me with no problem the next day. But be careful what you wish for. Market has a trolley that sounds like an airport every 15 minutes or so and the morning sun comes in. It is definitely not a fancy place to stay. Also, all rooms share bathrooms, but there are quite a few bathrooms. I never had to wait for someone else to finish before i could use it.
