Rooms were fine for short trip where you are very busy, had everything you needed, as well as clean and comfortable. The Filipino lady (sorry I cannot place her name at the moment) was spectacular! Kind and the definition of hospitable. Miss her already and her warm smile and conversation. Breakfast (David's) was amazing. Just a normal; eggs, hash browns, bacon & sausage, toast - guy here though. Went there twice with the 15% discount for staying with Touchstone.

Great location across the street from the Curran Theater and just a couple blocks from Union Square. Friendly staff. The room was on the small side when compared to major chains, but clean and efficient. Would stay again.

The major problem with that hotel is it does not have a lobby.

4/10

Affordable hotel near the city center. Room was quite small and furniture looked tired. The hotel common space was old and dirty. Beware that it is located very close to the Tenderloin district and caution is warranted a night.
Stayed 4 nights in May 2025

10/10

Staff was courteous and helpful. The room is small but that is expected and it was more than enough for having a place to rest, wash up, keep my things while exploring SF. They also have a back room that's locked to store luggage and even a rental bike I had. There's a diner attached with a discount for hotel guests with pretty decent options. Everything was clean and well kept. I would return in future trips to SF.

Good centrally located hotel 2 blocks from transit and street cars. No frills (microwave, fridge in room)but clean and comfortable and couldn't beat the price!

Front desk staff is very nice and friendly. There is an odd smell in the hallways of the hotel, but wasn’t as noticeable in the room itself. There isn’t air conditioning in the room, but wasn’t a problem for me in May. A basic hotel without any frills, but a good deal for San Fran.

The location is superb and you can walk to many of the attractions. The staffs are incredibly helpful and friendly. While the room is a bit small, it is comfortable and quiet. I enjoyed my stay and had very restful sleep during my two nights stay in the hotel.

The staff were fantastic. The property is older with loud plumbing and thin walls. Bath wouldn't plug and the showerakes a clunky sound when you use the cold water. The bed was like sleeping on a table with pancakes for pillows. Staff did get me a normal pillow.
