Positive: This place is pretty centrally located. Don't let the location scare you either. There are homeless people around but they are chill. I booked a single room (Janis Joplin), which was cozy. The shower was clear and had good pressure. The bed was big and comfy. I was out and about alot but it was a nice place to return home to. I even managed to get some work done at the little writing desk in my room. Free coffee and tea is also pretty nice. I can't evaluate the events at the venue, because I didn't go to any, but they sounded cool. You can sometimes hear bands practicing when you are in your room, but it never bothered me. I found it kind of soothing actually.
Negative: The place is a little dingy, but that's just what happens in older hotels and you get what you pay for here. The breakfast is a good deal for San Francisco, but it's nothing special. $8.50 for a microwave breakfast sandwich, an instant oatmeal, a coffee, and an apple. I preferred to walk around the block to Star Bagels and get a fresh made breakfast bagel there. It costs a little more, but it was worth it. There was a woman in a trenchcoat at the front desk who was pretty rude to me. All of the other people at the front desk were chill. I don't know what her issue is.
Summary: Rockin' budget option for anyone passing through SF
