Room review insights for California, United States, Hotels

The hotel is located in a part of San Francisco you don't want to be walking around at night. Homeless people lie on the street and against the hotel, some motionless, others screaming after a trip. Several rats roam the courtyard at night. The staff is very friendly and helpful. But that's about it. The rooms are really dated, and the bathroom fixtures are filthy. There was a stage for two parties in the courtyard. We were glad we left on the day of the party. The portable toilets and sinks were ready and waiting for us during the three days we were there. The photos on the website are completely different from reality, and all that for over $160 a night... oh yeah... parking is on the lot... $28 a day.

$50 a night no deposit … you get what u pay for and to be fair I’ve paid a lot more for much less so I’d have to say it’s defiantly a decent bang for your buck… just don’t expect it to be more than a 1-2 star place… also no bathroom in the rooms .. it has shared bathrooms on each floor like a lot of cheap SF hotels do.

*ABSOLUTELY NOT A 4 STAR HOTEL* complete lie to call this a 4 star hotel room. Do not be catfished by the photos of the rooms or the updated lobby, it looks nothing like this. At best this deserves a 2 star similar to a Motel 6 or Econo Lodge. Very dirty, stains all over the floor, some poorly bleached and discolored and some not addressed at all. Old dirty curtains. Bathroom looks like a locker room. The toilet is being held up with a random block of wood. The bath tub takes 10 min to drain after a 5 minute shower. *** UPDATE *** They also charged me an extra 41 dollars. No description just showed up after my stay. This place is a scam.

My stay at the Stanyon Park Hotel was necessary as a family member was an inpatient at at UCSF which is within walking distance. I met my House keeper on my day early check out by random occurrences in the hallway. She was incredibly polite and thoughtful; in asking me specific questions about care needs for my room. I explained I was checking out early so her thoughts were appreciated but not necessary. The rest of the staff seemed to only be there for the purpose of working; not for the needs of customers. All or most of the rooms at the Stanyon Park Hotel face inward upon each other at some point; like a horse shoe. This causes many issues. From sounds that carry ( voices, music, children screaming, personal sounds, phone calls etc.) , the inability to open the window shades for lack of privacy, ( you see directly into one another’s room. So there is a huge feeling of isolation at the very least to confinement. There are no pictures on the walls and this picture is mis leading; it really shows the shear inner Roman Shade partially lifted, as they do not lift all the way, with the view of the building across the way. Nothing more. The windows themselves , though part of the vintage “ charm” were an issue for me personally. As the are sash window that physically moves up and down; they are easy to become unbalanced from side to side as the move up and down. Causing them not to sit all the way to the bottom of the sill; leaving a open air gap. Well; the week I was there; it dropped to 37 degrees! The small baseboard radiator style unit heater takes a significant amount of time to heat the room! ( even at full on!) Speaking of the windows…my bathroom window was opaque with no shade whatsoever! This meant that once darkness fell; no light could be used in the bathroom for any bathroom routine! As everything would be silhouetted in that opaque window for all to see! Same for the morning shower routine! I looked out the ally and could see the other bathroom windows had Roman Shades. Seeing that this was the case; on two separate occasions, I asked the front desk to have this investigated. The morning girl looked at me like I was making a peculiar request to have a window covering in the restroom for privacy! Then she explained that it would most likely not be done for some reason about screws being placed in the walls. I had to explain to her; that shades are in fact, installed in the window itself, and not the wall. So she finally “ got it” and agreed to have the maintenance person drop by the room. In not having heard a report, by the next morning, I asked again. Same thing. This front desk person did not understand what opaque was. By this time; I was getting pretty fed up with these two. So I said; how would you like to shower or go potty with a back light behind you to where everyone can see you? And I added; the rest of the rooms have them and right now I am showering in the dark! She only agreed to pass along my message to maintenance just to appease my request. Suffice it to say. Absolutely nothing was done about my request. Nothing was said to me about this awful and what I would call unacceptable inconvenience. When I was checking out, a full day early, two men were behind the counter. An older woman was trying diligently to find a room for 1 night at the last minute. Do you think they gave her my room? ( with the hotel booked up.) Nope…..even with an excuse of their computers showing blocks of rooms being taken blah blah….they, as human beings, knew I was checking out early, and it was available. Bad Form Dudes! I can Honestly say…Run, Run Far away from this Hotel.

This happens to be the worst hotel we have ever stayed in. From the moment we drove up the parking lot the building structure to the lobby, to the room, the smelled was horrible the bed linens that were old and dated the Cockroaches in the room. Drug needles in the staircase, fighting and yelling at night. You can bet we will never stay here again. Save your money.

"mini bar" was missing a milky way when i arrived; despite my having immediately alerted hotel staff upon my discovery of said missing milky way, I nevertheless discovered a $3.25 charge tacked sneakily onto my bill! room wasn't clean enough, the duvet needed to be removed from service because of staining; nothing impressive here except for the photographer's ability to make dingy and lower than expected ceiling feel bright and airy! . when i checked in (for a single night stay), i requested a late checkout. the hotel obliged, although i don't understand why the guest after me in the queue was told 1230 while i was told 12 was the latest possible time available. besides this, the staff were all quite friendly and down to earth. i had an incredibly disappointing experience with the hotel manager. Under-confident as the leader of a workplace, the manager here claims their authority over others by putting them down. He was immature, disrespectful, expressed a contempt for guests as burdens, and called me names while attempting to save face while reversing a surcharge on my bill despite his initial insistence that he would not. Onlooking staff remained courteous but quiet, not wanting to get dragged into the manager's fit of frustration. I made a valid request, was right to have done so, and was met with the manager's attempt to steamroll me while making false/unfounded claims regarding my moral fibre. The hotel didn't need 3 people working, anyhow. I would fire the manager and promote the girl who checked me, since she demonstrated good understanding of hotel operations and intuitive understanding of guest requests. If you are looking for a bed and a shower and single serve pumpkin pie flavor coffeemate creamers and you want a cheap room with bad natural light, then this is your place! tldr; half star for the decent cable channel selection (which includes SHOWTIME~!) gets rounded up to one star.

Really the only issue we had was only rooms on the inside of the building had AC so we had our windows open and it was loud all night.

Review rating: 4.0

Terrible hotel. Rooms are small, dark, dirty, non-functional... no place to store clothes. The carpet in the entry was stained and dirty and set the tone. The restaurant staff was amazing was the only highlight.
