This hotel was booked as part of a package. It was room only basis, we had a king-size bed and bathroom. The inside of the bath had been painted in the past so just looked filthy. The shower over the bath was a struggle to use and get hot water.

Although we were room only we did try the breakfast once - I ordered scrambled egg and toast I got scrambled egg swimming in margarine and white toast!!! My husband asked for ham and eggs - he was told they came with home made fries- they came with cubed raw potatoes.

Me and my brother stated at this hotel for 2 weeks. we payed for room only.

The room was of a good standard and we had a double bed each in a room that I would class as a very good 2 star but not quite a 3 star.

The room had an en-suite bathroom which was good although the paint on our bath was starting to bubble up and peel in a corner towards the end of our stay, although I think that was just bad luck on our part.

The rooms were well kept and the hotel in general is clean and well looked after. There was an in room safe and also cable tv and a direct dial phone (international calls are extortionatly priced though!) Another thing we found is that it is quite a noisy hotel as there isnt any double glazing, so you had to keep your windows shut to get any peace.

The location of this hotel in theory is great, 10 mins from Union Square, good transport links and Union Square bart station next door.

This area is next to and boadering on an area called the tenderloin, this area is not great! We never had any trouble but it was a bit of a mission to walk down the road as you would be confronted with loads of homeless people asking for this and that and also loads of "homies" or gangs of youths, to be fair they looked more threatining than what they were, people will leave you alone.

Its fine if you are from a big city and used to this sort of life but I wouldnt recomend this hotel to my granny if you know what I mean.

The hotel has a fantastic restaurant attached to it "CAFE DO BRASIL" great food and well worth a visit alone!

The staff generally were really good. The female manager in particular was really helpful.We only really found 1 guy to be a bit of a unhelpful jobsworth but there you go!

Entertainment was a case of going to the bar and buying a drink and perhaps a game of pool, to be fair its not that kind of hotel.

This hotel is ok if you are on a budget but the next time I go (I will go to San Francisco at the job of a hat!) I would rather stay somewhere a bit nicer.

Again I would rather stay someware else but I would consider staying here now that I know what to expect and if the price was right.
