If you're popping into the city for a few days on a budget this hotel is totally fine!
I booked on reserving dot com, there was a mix up with the booking and it took 1.5 hours to check in while they troubleshooted it on the phone, I had to wait until that was solved before they gave me the keys. The manager although polite was initially reluctant to troubleshoot even though I showed my booking and payment receipt. It seemed it was a first for us all!
Staff are friendly, the area seems ok, Golden gate bridge is a one hour ish lovely walk away. I was a single woman on my own, I found street parking easily, I never drove around the block more than once. Metred parking is free in the evenings and before 9am. Look out for a a broken metre opposite "cup of joy" on sutter street for all day free parking hack.
Pay attention to early morning street cleaning signs, I noticed some started at 6am 3 days a week.
The local parking lots seem highly expensive ( and I live in LA!) They charge $40-70 a day subject to whether you'd like in and out privileges and car size, personally I would say take the streets!
The room was clean, and the lobby too, sizeable (I had a king delux) I didn't take my free breakfast so I can't comment on the food. The entry way, lobby and bar area are cute, the staff always smiling as I came in.
I stayed on the top 7th floor, the walls are incredibly thin. I don't wear although would highly recommend ear plugs as I could hear my neighbours every movement and he was very loud and didn't sleep!
These are all observations, I would book again if I was on a budget, I would just ask for a front facing top floor room, and if possible request to be neighbour free !
