San Francisco Hotels near Civic Center Plaza

mold in the bathroom , the carpets stinks , and an over all sense of uncleanliness , very rode staff

The location is close to restaurants and the mall. Some bathrooms in the rooms were recently renovated. The bathrooms were small and not very clean. The sheets on one of the beds had blood stains on them. It look a long time to get maid service. The lighting fixtures were dusty. Rooms are overdue for an upgrade. The location is not in the best area of town. There were a lot of homeless people hanging around the hotel.

No wifi. Gave us a single instead of a double room. Very limited TV channels. Loud...very very loud. Extremely thin walls. I heard the ppl down the hall sneeze as if they were in my room. Staff wasn't very accommodating. Slow and small elevators. Overall, I would never stay here again.

The bed was excellent great sleep. Rooms very small and bathroom smaller than Crusie ship bathrooms. Toilet broke and had to wait several hours for repair person to show up. The lobby looked great but then we walked into our room

Nothing, I can't even say location because anywhere in SF is easily accessible via taxi. Dirty room, beds you can feel the springs in, poor customer service. Just because a hotel reports its a historic hotel does not mean room remains outdated and uncomfortable.

Staff, cleanliness, location The heater was insufficient.

Tiny roomNoisy , No ac Expensive Parking

The best thing about this hotel was that they offered cookies in the late afternoon, and all day tea/coffee. Room and beds are small. No air conditioning in the room. In room coffee was not replenished. Bathroom very outdated. Room service did not clean the room, all they did was make the bed. The elevator is old and frightening. Staff is very curt with guests.

The continental breakfast was nice (nothing amazing, but a decent selection). Free WiFi was a good feature (but it is too slow to stream anything). Location 10 minutes from a BART was convenient and two blocks away is a nice strip of small restaurants. This was NOT a 3.5 star place. It was dated and the room was small and there was no air conditioning. I know the Bay area does not get hot often, but it meant to stay comfortable you had to keep your window open and that meant hearing traffic all night.

Typical chain hotel amenities, and comfy bed. Good location. Housekeeping came in the room at 7am to me pushing them out saying come back later. If she had it her way she'd clean around me and make me into the sheets go get her job done. Hidden fees. Add $100 extra to your bill for "taxes and other costs". Parking is $50 a night

Rooms looked fairly newly renovated. Homeless receive free services next door so they're everywhere and they're aggressive. NOT a place I'd bring a family to stay if enjoying SF.

Room had at least two flies at all times. Sheets may may not have been changed. Restaurant food was like pay x4 the price of Denny's but the same quality

Increased price at booking by 15%. Quoted price $135/night became $220 after increase, taxes, and enormous $42 parking fee. Tried to cancel, they wouldn't allow that.

ThemIss come into your room even when the privacy sign is in. She didnt eve knock just barged right in! Not comforting if your trying to leave your room at all while on vacation.

Nothing I burnt my leg taking a shower. I was cold. There was no central heating so I took a hot shower. The hotel said hey would refund me one night stay and have not done so. I spoke to bill and Mary and nothing. I'm very upset

Subway soda left in my room upon arrival.

I liked the location for travel purposes, however the tv in our room did not work. Took a little complaining before we were relocated.

Cheap, in downtown, gated lot for parking outskirts of rough neighborhood, my family was uncomfortable walking around at night. Staff seemed friendly or aloof, depending on who was there. Elevator works only when all doors on all floors are closed, so you might have to take stairs. $30 parking/night

the rooms didn't smell good. There was a lot of noise in the alley and in the next rooms.

The Art Decorated rooms were pretty and esthetically pleasing to the artistic eye, but that's it. Pretty much everything else. Hotel advertises parking, a play structure for kids, air conditioning, a restaurant, and bar and lounge. Let's start with the play structure. Is it on the same block? Yes. Is it theirs? No. Is it nice? No. Is it una neighborhood you'd want to take your kids to play? Hell no! Then there's the non existent air conditioning. Hotel doesn't have it. Bathrooms don't even have exhaust fans... The restaurant? Not theirs either. It's just nearby. And don't get in late because it closes at ten. The bar and lounge is not theirs either. It's just next door. Although the as makes it seems like all of this is part of their hotel. All they have is a cafe open until 2pm. The worst part is the parking. Add says they have parking. They don't. Here's the best part. They said, "There is a parking area connected to the back of our hotel. But it's not ours and we are not affiliated. It's $35 per night. You can pay that to us here. We have a video camera on it that I can see from OUR front desk. We can open the gate from here for you. And you can walk into the back of our hotel from the parking. Oh, you have an SUV? That will be $45 then for oversized parking." WHAT? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! That sounds awfully affiliated for non-affiliated. Sure seems like you're charging people $30-45 for overnight parking and pretending its someone else. And it was full of SUVs. We rented three rooms for eight people totalling in the $700-800 range and you seriously wanted an extra$45 to park our damn car? When we complained about all this, the staff was EXTREMELY rude. After a great deal of arguing, he told us the manager would be in in the morning and we could "take it up with him". Yeah, guess who "wasn't in" when we came down at 9:30? Save yourself a nightmare. DO NOT STAY HERE!!!

it was cild in my room (309) the beakfeast was very good and the people in the hotel too.

The staff were all very friendly and hospitable, It was a good place to meet people if you felt like a chat at the breakfast table. The continental breakfast was also quite nice, and there are some amazing art galleries, home decor shops and funky boutiques near by , It is also near public transport The carpets look like they could do with a clean, but I believe they will be changed soon as they are in the middle of changing hands. Also there are a lot of homeless people around but once you get used to it it isn't as threatening as it initially looks

The staff was very friendly and supporting.

Friendly people at reception

Inexpensive good-value hotel. Friendly, easygoing and down-to-earth staff. Nice and informal atmosphere. The room and hallways had a charmingly dowdy appeareance, a bit like some grandmother's home, which makes for a nice personal touch. Big bay windows and York mints in the room on arrival. The hotel is located in a somewhat trendy, upscale-ish, village-like neighbourhood, with cafés, bakeries, various boutiques and public transportation easily accessible. I stayed in a 2nd floor street-facing room, and while not a major issue there was a bit of traffic noise. Light sleepers might want to bring earplugs or ask for a room facing away from the street. The shared bath is kind of dinky, and the bedspread in my room has probably seen better days.

Very friendly hotel staffs, family style hotel, and quient environment. Nothing should be complained. Only disadvantages are 1) It is a bit far from the Union Square area, 2) You have to share restroom and bathroom with other guests.

Restaurant/bar Walking from Bart to hotel the streets were littered with crack heads and heroine users. Dozens were using right in front of us and some were passed out with needles in their arm. One was passed out in front of the lobby enterance. Also, hotel bar and restaurant closed on Sunday and Monday.

I like to be serviced with the good manner by chinese room cleaning women. They all are really good.

The staff were great - very friendly and very helpful. The hotel is surrounded by gangs, drug dealers, prositiutes, homeless people, drunks and drug addicts. Quite the walk home. An overpriced motel in a bad neighbourhood,

close to busline manager very friendly and helpful.

chocolats in the front desk not so good neighbourhood

the woman on the desk was extremely helpful and understood when we had to leave a day early. This place is in the middle of the downtown area. It has many homeless and beggars and we felt unsafe, especially at night. Coming from NZ this was a culture shock and was difficult to come to terms with. However we were safe, car was untouched and all was well. This is entirely due to the great staff vigilance. I want to thank them.

Unbelievable customer service! We were able to leave our car here, after check-out, while we ran the Nike Women's Marathon 2010. We returned at ~ 3:00, cold and wet, to pick up the car. When we arrived, we were shocked to learn that they had held our room for us and let us take hot showers before heading home! That really made our day. As we expected, the neighborhood is 'iffy'. And noisy.

Close to everything, price was perfect!

good location older worn out building

good location, almost in downtown, big clean room hotel has only limited number of park places so if you come late (as we did) you must park on street which isn't for free.

check in was a breeze the cockroach on the pillow .

The room looked and smelled like they just used cheap carpet powder. It had bedbugs and the staff was very rude!!

room was very big and clean, staff friendly. Its not a brand new hotel but everything was clean. good value. the area is not great, but safe during the day. if you travel by car you are safe anyway, wouldn't recommend walking at night there.

It has HBO I think this hotel should be removed from booking.com. It is in a scary area, and: we couldn't sleep because there where men hanging around in front of our rooms' door for all night, and both rooms next to us where full of men talking loud and screaming. We felt scared and left the hotel in the middle of the night to find another hotel.

The store right next to hotel was convenient for water and small snacks. It was also pretty close to alot of restaurants and bars. The first room we were given wasn't even cleaned up from the previous travelers. The second room while overall a better room still felt small but it fit our needs. The mini fridge didnt work and we told the staff this and were met with "did you try plugging it in the othet outlet" it was never replaced or looked at. They also didnt have hotel parking instead they made me park at a different hotel right down the street , which one guy in particular was incredibly rude and charged me double the rate for 2 days then his other coworkers wich only charged me a normal rate for 3 days. Either way I wont be staying here again.

the hotel stuff was very friendly and the room was nice and clean, the breakfast was ok the sourrounding of the hotel was very bad, lots of homeless people and strange people, better to be at the hotel before darkness

They give you your own roll of toilet paper... Everything was dirty! The walls were disgusting. The bed was hard and covered in plastic. The bathroom... I'd rather pee in the street, like everyone else was doing. There are windows in the bathrooms on the first floor. Had some chick crawl through the window into the men's stall right before I was about to do my business. you have to step past transients fighting to get to the door, and wait to be buzzed in. There is no parking. Unless you want to park three blocks over and carry your stuff. Wouldn't recomend that. There were needles and razor blades on the street behind this place. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.

My money back it was scary and disgusting someone riding a bike up and down the hallways drug addicts hanging out from the front door to the hallways all nite no peace The whole experience you should be ashamed to even offer such a non refundable dump I want my refund

This place is a hole; no way to describe how bad it was. Just stay away.

location most hostels I've stayed in were nicer. apparently they got new locks on the doors, counter to other older reviews, they seemed capable. noise was horrible, all night.

Crack needles and graffiti

We couldn't fall asleep for hours because the walls were so paper thin. We had to open a window because the rooms were so small that we became claustrophobic. We left the next morning with tons of bug bites. Not to mention, we paid $75 for this room, and got a way better one on our travel for $50.

There was a bed. No parking. Room was tiny. Bed had blood stains on sheets. Shared bathrooms were disgusting.

Communal bathroom without a sink

Do not stay here under any circumstances. Room stank and had no bathroom only 1 sink. Disgusting corder view outside window full of garbage and bird poop. Window couldn't lock. LOUD banging occurred in the hotel ALL NIGHT. Public restrooms and showers were filthy and nasty like out of a horror movie. Do yourself a favor, pay a little more and say at another hotel
