Mayflower Hotel

Pleasant

Liked: We already used this accomodation in the past, and we enjoyed its optimal position and old-times style. Unfortunately, this year we found it to have become quite less enjoyable:1. At our arrival the beds were done, but we had to remove the thrash left from the previous occupants by ourselves;2. The small fridge was so dirty we couldn't use it at all;3. The breakfast - which years before was one of the best one could find in that price range in the nearby - was limited to some bread, cold hardboiled eggs, some bananas and little more.In conclusion: the place still keeps its old San Francisco style, the staff is quite kind, and the location is optimal for visiting the city - but there's still some work to do to give it back the shine of its past.

Liked: Amazing hotel in downtown San Francisco! The elevator was a very cool experience.
Disliked: The entry to the onsite garage was very narrow so we didn’t chance damage to our vehicle so we had to pay for parking down the street. But not a big deal.

Liked: So many great hole-in-the-wall restaurants! Coming back to the room was like coming home. Not only clean but extraordinarily well maintained. Speaking as one who knows what it takes to deal with the never-ending cracks that come out of nowhere in a century-old structure.
Disliked: I wouldn't change anything.

Liked: Owing to its close proximity to the Tenderloin and very low rates, I suspected that the Mayflower Hotel would be a no frills kind of hotel, but I was delightfully surprised to find that the hotel was quite safe, clean, and efficiently run. The hotel sits on a very safe street on the border outside of the Tenderloin, there were plenty of clean towels and amenities, and the staff were extremely kind and accommodating. They even provided a buffet breakfast with toast and cereal.
Disliked: My one critique would be that the windows desperately need a cleaning as they were quite dirty and smudged from weather and smog.
