Liked: My room was sunny and had a sofa. The room included a microwave, Bathroom was new, clean, specious and sunny.
Disliked: No elevator. No coffee machine but they serve coffee until 11 am in the lobby.

Recommended for newcomers who are...

Liked: There was coffee and tea offered but we didn't really try them. The location is great and near so many shops, food places, and tourist locations in wlaking distance of around 30min. In all directions.
Disliked: Nothing really. I'd only suggest that some food be complimentary for the high price of the hotel. Otherwise, the staff was really nice and recommended some places we should visit.

Great value and location but...

Liked: Great location and value. Renovated bathrooms were nice.
Disliked: When we arrived there were clothes in the closet from a previous person staying there. Very thin walls and noisy occupants all night long. Sink was dirty and stopper broken upon arrival. Bedding had a stain on it that looked like blood. Random guy sitting at entry multiple days. Just staring at people. Headboards not attached to beds and bang every time you move. Beds make noise when moving on them like they are made of rubber.

We like to stay at...

Liked: Great location for visiting family living on Russian Hill. Close to lots of good restaurants, cafés, Fisherman’s Wharf, the marina, and public transportation - you can walk everywhere. The place is relatively spartan but is clean, comfortable, and an excellent value.
Disliked: No fan in bathroom to remove the moisture - couch was a bit musty. Would be better to place two large chairs in place of sofa to improve air circulation. Also, all three lamps (two bedside, one overhead, which was plugged into a wall receptacle behind the couch) were on the same circuit, so the only way to have just the bedside lamps on was to move the couch and unplug the overhead lamp.

Our stay was pleasant and...

Liked: Located close to Russian Hill and within walking distance of family we were visiting. Access to lots of good restaurants, to Fisherman’s Wharf and the marina, and to public transportation. Simple, clean and comfortable, with roomy bathroom. Room was quiet.
Disliked: No exhaust fan in bathroom, somewhat musty smell in the room due to dampness. One switch turned on all the lights in the room, and we had to unplug the overhead light to just have the bedside lamps on. No complaints otherwise.
