Good for visiting San Francisco in a tight budget!

The rooms were very comfortable with enough room for storage under the bed but they definitely need to install some curtains for the bunk beds

No specific complaints

Lobby-kitchen is impressive.

Beds are awful. You can sleep on it only being absolutely drunk.

The ballroom and the kitchen are great. Super friendly stuff and a great vibe. Nice bathrooms as well. Breakfast included. You can cook eggs.

Depending on the room it can be quite loud from outside. Especially on the weekend
