The Urban San Francisco

I'd book a better hotel next time

Clean and good location, good value for money You can’t change the water temperature in the shower

It was one of my worst experiences in this platform. Rooms are not as it seems on pictures. Clostrophobic, smelling, dark and dirty. They take deposit which is not mentioned anywhere during booking. I booked for 2 nights but left after a night. I told that I'm not happy with the room but they did nothing. They just told me I'm free to leave...

The rooms are small, but very clean. Bathrooms are shared on each floor. They are very clean as are the shared shower rooms. As a caution there are three floors, but no elevator. Price was good.

Exceptional

Love the location. Friendly environment. Major coffee savings since they provide 24 hours a day. Wonderful condition of a classic building.

The building is tilted apparently? So all night I was rolling off the twin mattress. The rooms are smaller than you think, and the carpets are gritty and don’t feel clean. The bathrooms are shared, one of them was locked and knocking yielded no answers, the other one had someone actively shooting up. The refrigerator in my room didn’t work, and because the building is historic there is no AC, so overall just a hot, grimy, tilted place. The woman at the front desk though is a treasure. She was so cheerful and sweet and enthusiastic, happy to be helpful, genuinely seemed to enjoy her work. She needs a raise to keep that positivity working in a place like that!

Location is very convenient The smell is bad. The rooms are very basic. The beds make a lot of noise when you move. No AC so it gets really hot in summer

Love this small hotel - fantastic location and always extremely clean and comfortable.cortabld

Great location. Central to everything if your visiting.

The staff are very accommodating especially Miao, Hans and Almira. I enjoyed my stay and will stay again here on my next visit. The entire staff did an excellent job.

Good

Unpleasant staff, dirty, it stinks, and the environment is unsafe.

Great location! The hotel is what it is--minimalist and very old. This is a value stay, and you should think of it more as a hostel with a private bedroom and shared bathroom. The rooms were clean for what they are, but the hotel is old and smelled a bit musty. Staff was excellent! At night there is only a single pane of glass between your bed and all the street noise. I had an outward street-facing room and it was not quiet by any means.

Centrally located. Good security.

Very good

Exceptional

Location is surrounded by walking opportunities, eating and seeing

At first i was skeptical since by mistake i had chosen the common bathroom option. However, the place was very clean. The bed could be more comfortable and having a fridge in the room which makes a noise was not inviting but it was a pleasant stay. The bathroom and washroom were clean, however the bathroom did not function at times. The staff was very very nice. The coffee was great and the best part that this hotel was at the heart of union square. I would definitely recommend to everyone who are on a budget.

Great location, on the corner of the dragon gate! Was easy to get around the city from here. Staff is very nice and helpful. Room, bathrooms, and showers were all clean and hot water was available. I'd happily stay here again

Exceptional

Staff was amazing! Shoutout Miao and Eva for being so welcoming and friendly during my first solo travel trip :)

I love staying there 🙂

Loved how close it was to Chinatown, literally right next door. Although it is a dorm room kind of feel, with shared bathrooms located in the hallways, bathrooms and showers were never a problem because of how many there were and they were always clean. Staff is very friendly and always available 24/7 if you are out late.

Great!

Nothing much We ask for bunk bed even we selected that one while booking. But didn’t get that

The localization was convenient for us. No elevator - very hard to go through the staircase with all the luggage. I knew the bathrooms were shared, but it was not specified there would be only 2 showers PER WHOLE FLOOR... The kitchenette near the reception had olmost no equpment in it, no water, no utensils - useless.

This is a hostel giving the most noisy room to expats. Rooms like next to stairs. America hostel do this shit often. But very clean, comfortable, location is very good.

One issue during my four-day stay was the water temperature. It was mostly cold, and even after running it for the suggested 10 minutes, it only became lukewarm, and I didn’t want to waste water. The one evening I did shower, the water was still lukewarm. On my last day, however, there was hot water running from the sink in the room, so the issue may have been resolved or there may have been fewer guests showering that morning. Accessing the building was another small inconvenience, as the key card does not open the main entrance and requires using an intercom to buzz you in or calling staff off site. Twice, no one responded right away; one evening another guest and I waited briefly before a man let us in. Late-night entry after 1:00 am was not an issue, and I did notice a security guard one morning. Overall, I enjoyed my stay, and with hot water consistently available and key card access to the entrance, the experience would be even better. The Urban has many positives and great potential.

the room and sharing space were always clean and the staffs were so kind:) the hotel is located in union square, which is convenient to go any place!

Superb

Simple but very clean and very well located! Would definitely recommend to others!

Everything is great at the Urban Hotel.

The room is clean. The staff are friendly. It’s centrally located, so it’s great for walking to shops.

Great location. Well managed and maintained over time.

When I first entered the room, there was a noticeable unpleasant smell. I opened the window before leaving for the day, and when I returned in the evening, the smell had reduced but was still present from time to time during my stay. I didn’t report it to the front desk during my stay, but I did mention it at checkout. On a positive note, the front desk staff was friendly and helpful, which I appreciated. Overall, this is a reasonable option for a short stay, but the room condition, especially the odor could be improved.

location, staff, and cleanliness were wonderful; however, catching the hot water for a shower was either rare, confusing, or nonexistent.

Clean room, great service

Very convenient store and restaurant nearby!

Very convenient location, safe, friendly staff and very clean. Room was a bit small for 2. 1 shower was out of service, another one did not work properly and the third one did not lock properly. It was not a problem for us since it was not crowded.

I'd stay again. The location is great.

Pleasant

Very good

They definitely did not tell me that the room did not have a bathroom or showers. That they were in the hallway

Great location. Nice staff. The rest was terrible. Broken showers. Uncomfortable beds. Weird smells. Windows that either do t shut or don’t open. Just really scummy overall.

I wanted a nice, budget hotel that was better than average and this was it. I got a room with a single bed with attached bath. The room is very small, there is no closet, and the queen-size bed and armoire take up half of the floor space. There's no dresser and the one table is also small so you quickly run out of places to put things. The bathroom is surprisingly large though with no shelves and lacking handy towel racks. That said, the staff was attentive and helpful, the building felt very secure, and through worn in places, was neat and clean. The hotel location is right across the entrance to China Town on Grant St. Being San Francisco, there are plenty of coffee shops, eateries, and mini-markets a short walk in any direction. It's a ten-minute stroll to Embarcadero Plaza or Union Square. Despite the horror stories on the news about San Francisco, the neighborhood appeared pretty tame, lots of cops and armed security everywhere, hardly any homeless, and frankly, looked less sketchy than my hometown of Denver. So yes, this was a good choice for a hotel.

Great value for downtown SF, 50m from Chinatown Free coffee in the break room Downtown SF is noisy No luck but shower water was cold

Passable

Good location but small room, which is comfortable and clean The water in bathroom is somehow cold.

The shower was cold. A guest was yelling for help into the hallway because her light burned out. The room was so-so. It was not quiet… I could hear people in the next room. Arrival staff were friendly but the checkout staff was interested in her own cell phone screen. Neighborhood is GREAT! This is comparative… I often stay in budget hotels in SF and I can’t figure out how the ratings are so high.

It was cold and nothing interesting

Room was clean, staff were kind and great. Shared toilet and bathroom were well-maintained!

Small but perfect for nightly sleep.

Clean

The room was clean and it’s perfect for backpackers. The staffs were really nice and it was right around china town so it was so easy to go around for food. Everything was amazing.

The hotel was good for my purpose, which was to find an affordable hotel option the night before the Super Bowl. My room was very tiny, and it was super loud outside the whole time, which made it hard to sleep. Otherwise, it was all fine and I would stay there again, for half of what I paid.

I stayed here during Super Bowl weekend and it was a grand surprise. The streets were very clean and no homeless people around. The room I stayed at was very clean. Bathrooms and shower clean as well. I stayed very close to Union square and a lot of options for food and shopping.

good

It was exactly as expected It was hard to find at night

One of the most affordable spots in town especially during a convention or event. Clean and well maintained

Very good

A great location, friendly staff, and a small but pleasant common area. The room was compact with minimal amenities, and some light from the corridor was noticeable at night.

Good location. Nice place. The wifi occasionally was slow and didn’t work fast enough. This was annoying for me because of the nature of my work. I need high-speed wifi for trading.

Restroom , Baths are well kept and clean, the facility itself is very neat and they serve fresh coffee and water, very comfortable dining and waiting area . Excellent Staff ! Situated in a nice area of the city and accessible to public transport and dining , cafe facilities! Just the tv was out of order in my room , the staff tried to fix it , buts it’s not a big deal , I have a clean room and bed.

Shower water is barely warm, it is very noisy

For what you paid for, this is excellent.

Hair on the soap .. like how do you miss that ?

Great location! cant get a better price for this great location.

Clean, quiet and staff very polite. Had a really good stay.

the location. the staffs. very clean no warm shower

the staffs were very pleasant and accommodating? everything ?

Yed

Cheap and good

it's a bit noisy because of thin wall. but rest of others were pretty good.

The pictures make it look like there is a shared kitchen, lounge, and workspaces. It's actually all in a small lobby that nobody would want to "hang out" or work in.

The water in the shower took so long to heat up and I takes most of my time. And the lightning at the toilet is abit dim.

I had a great stay it was a new experience

The staff was really nice.

Clean and simple but the walls are thin, so you hear neighboring rooms easily.

Clean Deposit

The Urban is in a great location, close to everything around Dreamforce. It’s much more affordable than most hotels nearby. The rooms are clean, the staff is friendly, and the overall stay is very comfortable. I didn’t find anything I didn’t like during my stay. Everything met or exceeded my expectations.

nice place i shall stay again

Affordable, great location. Rooms small, bed a little soft.

Very clean Hostal, Staff was really nice!! I would definitely stay again!!!

Close to Chinatown so pretty convenient. A bit loud at the corner room

the room was fine buut it smelt weird

The staff were very nice You could not see the tv from the bed, the lock on the door didn't worked, the door itself didn't selled (you could see the light coming in from the corridor). When someone passed on the halway you could hear everything. The location is very close to China Town so it was noisy.

Location No ac in room

Good

Great central location! Right outside entrance to SF Chinatown. Clean and modern rooms and amenities

It was cozy for sure

Nice location, friendly staff

Location is great. Place is clean. Good deal for the money you pay Someone on the floor was smoking in their room (which is prohibited, but people do it anyways). Property is good though and the receptionist tried to help

Great value to stay in the middle of the SF downtown. Everything is very accessible and convenient. Mostly safe - many tourists, office workers and policemen around the area - unless you go toward Tenderloin a few streets away. Facility is old but clean and well managed. No elevator there - you have to carry big luggages through staircases.

The whole staff did an excellent job during the duration of my stay. Keep up the good wrork.

Even with a fan in the room, the San Francisco weather was abnormally warmer and the room was often to warm to sleep since there was no air conditioning.

The area is very good. The room is small and most of the staff don’t speak English. So the communication is difficult

Great place to stay for cheap and to walk around. Close to everything.

Terrible musty smell. Smells like carpet has mold. I hated staying here.

I booked a room with a bunk bed and when I arrived the lady at the front desk said it was wasn’t available. I was with a friend so we needed two beds or at least a bigger bed. She gave us a room with a single bed half the size of a twin bed. She told us we could get a refund so we went upstairs to gather our belongings and when we came down she said “we can’t give you a refund at this time.” So the lady took down my number and told me I would receive a call about my refund soon and I never received the call. She was pretty rude and didn’t even apologize for the inconvenience. Horrible experience.

It's a hostel, not really a hotel. Very noisy, you can hear everything that happens in the other rooms, and on the street. It is what you pay for. Earplugs are a must. Other things were ok, and there was free coffee in the lobby.

they wanted a $100 deposit in addition to the room fee

The room with bathroom was nice and the out bathroom looks clean.

I had a great time staying at The Urban Hotel whenever I'm visiting San Francisco. The front desk asian lady accommodated me for an early check-in since I need to get some rest from my trip. Thanks and wonderful service.

Good service

The place is new and in good condition.

it’s good

The whole place smells musty and gross, the showers are nasty (I'm pretty sure there was mold), the rooms are tiny, beds are loud and not super comfortable, and our room didnt have a mini fridge and there isnt a communal one. If you are desperate for a cheap place to stay and don't plan on staying in the hotel much, its not the worse place to stay, I guess lol... the only good thing is the location. Its a very good central area, but honestly I'm not sure its worth the price evn if its one of the cheapest places in San Fran.

Wonderful place

A glorified hostel. I would have preferred a hostel. The actual location is not super sketchy, but a bit hard to see from the street and not in a very exciting area. The inside is lackluster and older, with stained carpet and an overwhelming smell of air freshener and scented cleaning products. The room itself was decent enough though not attractive by any stretch of the imagination. The deadbolt did not work. I had a room right above Bush which was incredibly loud due to car noise, also people would stand outside the market next door until late and talk loudly. The bathrooms were ok. The showers on my floor had 2 rooms which had dysfunctional doors that would not close. I went to another floor to find a functioning shower door. Big safety issue. If you have literally no other option, this room would do in a pinch. I wish I had gone with a hostel. I would have been happy to share this info at checkout but was barely spoken to, much less asked about my experience. I’m sure they know—the issues i encountered do not seem to be one-offs and I’m very confused by the positive reviews.

Very clean hotel. Love it

they were super nice and friendly, super clean. You could ask for room service and leave a tip. The check out was at noon which was a plus for me and super close from everything to take transportation or walk

It's not the Ritz Carlton but it is clean, secure, good internet. Convenient location. They have great coffee. Great value for a single business person in town for a few days.

Overall good stay. I requested turning the heat system on during the night but it was not processed.

Traveling solo for a thing and it was perfect. You won’t get a better location at this price. Hardly heard anything from other guests. A little noisy outside but it’s a city. Wasn’t enthusiastic about community bathroom and showers but they were very clean, hot water, never waited once for either. I would stay here again.

Was good for a overnight trip . Only issue was no hot water in the shower . And if there was i didn't have a hour to wait for it to warm up

I’d like to give a special shoutout to Hans at the front desk (forgive me if I’ve misspelled his name!). He went above and beyond to assist me when an unexpected issue arose with my third-party booking. Even though the situation was beyond his control, he didn’t just stand by—he actively helped me communicate with the booking platform. While that didn’t lead to a resolution, his willingness to help reassured me so much that I decided to rebook directly through Expedia, even at the risk of a double booking. Thankfully, Expedia made the process smooth and efficient, and Hans quickly checked me in, ensuring I could get the rest I needed. It’s rare to find such genuine hospitality and dedication to guest satisfaction, and that’s exactly what keeps me coming back to this hotel. If you’re looking for a cozy, well-located, and budget-friendly stay in San Francisco, I highly recommend The Urban Hotel—and if you’re lucky, Hans will be there to welcome you with top-notch service! Looking forward to my next visit!

Perfect stay God bless!

I knew the reviews were good, but the property still exceeded my expectations. The location was simply perfect, with a convenience store next door and a short walk to the Bart station. The shared bathroom was always clean and accessible. The staff was friendly and greeted me every time I came in. I was there for NBA All Star weekend, so it was the perfect distance from the Chase Center. I will definitely keep them on the top of my list when I'm in the San Fran area.

Small

Las camas .los ban̈os.no estan adecuados.y no hay ban̈os en la habitacion

Excellent place to stay.

Very good location for price.

Tracy at the first desk was amazing who went above and beyond all expectations God Bless!

Excellent location , great staff and clean rooms .. with a reasonable price ..

Very Nice, Clean and Quiet. I really Enjoyed my Stay.

It did what it said on the tin. It was super cheap and suited my needs for being central, walkable to everything. The single bed in a small room and shared bathroom between a load of rooms on the same floor may not be suitable for some but for me being hardly there other than to sleep and have a quick shower it definitely did the job.

The Urban is one of the greatest places you can stay in San Francisco GOD Bless!

The Urban is one of the greatest places you can stay in San Francisco and have a great day GOD Bless!

Excellent experience

The desk staff was amazing

Thank you for the early check in Water in the shower very low pressure Same as sink The door when you buzz in has problems Better if the guest card was working on the main door entrance

The hotel staff are very nice especially Hans, Armida and Tracy. They are very accommodating with my request. I enjoyed staying at this hotel. It's worth money spent. The place is nice and close to various business establishments. It is highly recommended to budget conscious travelers.

Perfect for a quick stay in San Fran. Lots of food options close by. Super close to china town. The room was super small, but it was perfect for a quick stay

clean well run basic accommodation in a good location

Great for solo mission!

no frills, great location,

The hotel offers no frills essentials for a stay in the heart of SF. Clean rooms, comfortable beds and good value for money.

There are no bathrooms in the rooms, no elevator, no AC. Building is old. Beds are uncomfortable

Beds are really uncomfortable, set up is weird with no bathroom in your room and shared hall way bathrooms. My window had no screen or circulation. Staff was nice but facility was more like a hostel than a hotel

Good location. Small room but very comfortable

THE THE RATE OF $442, INDEFINITELY, & THERE WAS NO LIMIT. SHE SAID THAT, I COULD HAVE 2 CATS, WITH NO ESA, & NO DEPOSIT.. ON SEPT 7, SHE ENTERED MY ROOM & LEFT ME A NOTE, STATING THAT THE RENT FOR THE NEXT 2 WEEKS WOULD BE $3205.28. I WAS IN SHOCK, SINCE SHE HAD TOLD ME ORIGINALY, THAT MY RENT WOULD BE FIXED AT $442. ON SEPT 8, I WAS GOING TO PAY FOR 2 WEEKS AT $442, A WEEK. ASAD SHAIKHJI, THE ASST. MANAGER INFORMED ME THAT THE RENT FOR 2 WEEKS WAS $3205.28. I WAS NOT INFORMED EARLIER & I HAD NO WHERE TO GO. BECAUSE OF THE SALESFORCE CONVENTION ALL THE HOTELS WERE BOOKED, UNLESS YOU WANTED TO STAY IN THE TENDERLOIN .AT OF THE GOODNESS OF HIS HEART, HE GAVE ME 1 NITE, AT THE EXPEDIA RATE. ON MONDAY, SEPT. 9. I CHECKED OUT AT 7:30 & GOT MY $100 DEPOSIT BACK.

This was my 2nd stay at the Urban, but not my last! It is a very clean and comfortable hotel!

Very convenient place to stay. Basic accommodation but comfortable and well run with friendly helpful staff.

A terrific budget place. Room was small and minimal but I slept well. They keep it quite clean. I enjoyed the coffee in the morning. There is lots of traffic on bush street if you are near there. 4 to 5 blocks to the Powell Bart station — I would exercise caution at night.

.

I to love stay in this place because it is closer to everything. The price is reasonable for budget conscious solo traveller.

My second stay at this hotel. The location is fantastic. There is no parking but that is clearly stated and in any of the pricey hotels I've stayed in the area parking is +$40 per night. There are shared bathrooms but that is clearly stated upfront AND the bathrooms are spotless, I think they're cleaned throughout the day. Front desk is open 24/7 and friendly and helpful. I'll definitely stay there again.

The Urban is a smidge more than a hostel, with small rooms and shared bathrooms… but the service was excellent and the location couldn’t be better. You are 200ft from Chinatown, just upstairs of Starbucks, and within 20 mins or so walking distance to the financial district with high end shops or to the ferry for further reach. The building is access-controlled so you are safe and everything was clean and comfortable. I absolutely would stay again!

Great value for the price. The only downside is the shared bathroom making logistics difficult.

Great value

At 4 AM, on Saturday 5/25 I woke up to the front desk blasting music and singing to it at the top of their lungs. Very unprofessional

I needed a cost effective and safe place to stay that was walkable to Moscone center and other evening events for a conference. I got in much earlier than check-in time and was able leave my bag at the desk, as well as had a quick check-in later that night. The room was small, but clean and had a sink and mirror in the room. It was also pretty quiet after 10pm. The shared bathroom and showers in the hall were usually empty when I needed them. The bathroom with the toilet and sink pretty clean, the shower area was not that clean, so glad I brought shower shoes.

The rooms were small but clean. Exactly as described. Shared bathrooms were clean but a little outdated. Older building. Staff was friendly and location perfect to Chinatown and walkable to many sites

Room is so small and bathroom is down the hall

Friendly staff, room is clean, convenient location!

Great stay and quite very clean and also neat.

The location of this hotel is very convenient. Very close to Chinatown and Downtown. The room I had was a single bedroom, very good and clean for a solo traveller. The bed I had was a bit noisy with every movement I did but nothing major. The restrooms and showers were regularly being cleaned 👌

Small but cozy. We use sitting area a lot. We will come back.

Overall good experience. Staff were friendly and it felt safe as a single traveler. The lounge area is a nice place to relax or eat a quick meal, but would be better if the TV worked. I appreciated that coffee and tea were provided, along with bath products in the shower areas. Only main downside is the street noise, so definitely bring earplugs.

Good place for a short stay. The location is very convenient to travel to almost every famous spot, the facility is new and good enough for normal use. The shared bathroom and restroom are kept clean so no worries about that

God's amazing Blessed God Bless spread God's word and practice good karma and vow to make a positive impact for God

Awesome staff and safe hotel! Great neighborhood.

For under $100 (including Taxes and fees), this place is great. The room is tiny, but clean. There's a lot of traffic noise, but earplugs helped with that. You cannot beat the location: just outside of China Town and 2 blocks from Union square; steps away from the Sutter Stockon garage; close to the financial district.

internet was not working properly

For what it is, it is excellent. Stayed a week alone during Tech Crunch. No issues at all.

Excellent value for the price, and the location is truly top notch. Staff were lovely and very helpful.

Awful hotel. Fleas, no power, dirty shared bathroom. Do not stay here

Very hostel like but in a good way. Very clean with very helpful friendly staff. Can't fault it to be honest.

The hotel was clean and comfortable, and in an excellent location!

no exhaust fan

You just have to go into this knowing what you’re getting. As a solo traveler with minimal needs, it met my needs at a comparably reasonable price. I had some apprehension about sharing bathroom/shower facilities but it worked out fine. The location is great - you’re in the middle of everything. I’m a deep sleeper so it didn’t bother me, but if you’re a light sleeper, you may struggle with the window open and facing the street. All in all, my needs were met and I appreciated having a relatively affordable option in downtown San Francisco.

In a great spot right outside china town, affordable and clean and staff was friendly. Good affordable option

There was no hot water throughout my stay and the hostel refuses to give me a refund. They only told me of this when I turned up to check in so they knew the price to stay somewhere else was going to be extortionate.

Cons: shared bathrooms (but we’re clean), there was no hot water! (Plumbing issue), mattresses were spring based and quite flimsy and noisy. Worth it? For the price, safety, cleanliness and high value - yes, but they need to fix the pipes.

Would stay @ the Urban again for sure

Property was clean and staff was very friendly and helpful

a good budget option in central SF. You share a bathroom and I was close to a bit loud but workable. but with the prices of SF hotels can save some and be central. It's basically a high end hostel where you have a private room and share bathrooms.

Basic but clean hotel. Good location. Friendly staff stored our bags for us free of charge on the day we checked out.

It's like a dorm! :) It was perfect for me

The hotel was really clean and the front desk personnel were helpful. I never had any problems using the shared bathrooms. Location was also great.

Stayed whilst travelling and the room and hotel was more like private hostel rooms. They were clean and the shared facilities were again clean and there were enough of them. The room itself was a bit tired and not much room to store 2 cases and move around. WiFi was good, no issues. Central enough and safe location. Staff were lovely and always friendly and welcoming. Ideal for a brief stop-over or solo travel. Street noise VERY loud. New York is quieter!

Staff could not have been more friendly and efficient. However, noise. The building does not seem to be very insulated, so outside noise is quite noticeable if you room window faces the street below. Also, my room was just feet from the front desk registration and any interaction between staff and a guest there was heard in my room. If I stayed there again, I would definitely ask to be in a room farther away front he hotel registration desk. All-in-all, good value for the money and a comfortable bed and spacious private bathroom (though I believe most of the rooms come with a shared bathroom).

The location, cleanliness, and staff are great. The shared restrooms and shower rooms are separate and there are multiple of each on every floor. However, after staying there for a few days, I was bitten by something, which turned out to be bed bugs. I had to wash/clean all my stuff before going home. Overall, it's a good hotel, but it would be even better with improved pest control.

The Urban is a great place to stay at San Francisco. It's all clean and has a very convenient location. I was eally disappointed by the WiFi which did not work at all in my room. I had to pay $20 of phone data to be able to speak to my family from my room. For a hotel that clean, that is a little disappointing.

The place is very basic, the rooms are tiny, but it’s clean and convenient and well-priced. Not well soundproofed, so bring earplugs, and maybe an eye mask to keep out the light that leaks around the door (kind of a lot). I never had to wait for a bathroom or shower, but only one of the three showers on the second floor was functional, as one was out of order and another one had only one water temperature: scalding. But hey, the price is right and so is the location if you want to be close to Union Square, Chinatown, North Beach, etc. or an east transit to SFO on BART.

This will be my new go-to place to stay when I'm visiting SF... It was spotless clean, comfy, conveniently located (walk to BART & a safe area), and the staff is super friendly and helpful.... A+.

Proximity of places of interest…

Location very convenient but with some street noise as expected in a downtown location
