"This was a great place to stay for my husband’s surgery at UCSF Hyde. Only a 2 block walk. Expect a mixture of old ( but clean) building with some modern fixtures. Coffee and microwave in lobby , not in room. Mini fridge in room. Some attention to detail would be nice ( extra mirror would be helpful , shower curtain ripped , stairs needed vacuum) . Spacious room, Nice bedding, felt safe, lots of food nearby, especially Asian Cuisine. Overall an excellent value and would stay again."
