Embassy Hotel

This is an old hotel, so the rooms are very old, but doable. Expect the floor to creek, the carpet to look old, the shower having old scraped floor. BUT, it is still doable. The price is too high for what it is though! Location is somewhat good. A block or two north, you'll see a fre homeless, but it is a peaceful area. Parking costs $30 a night. But you can go in n out several times.

Inconvenient parking, and it costs $30 a day

Not a very nice hotel at all. The outlets barely worked, the TV didn't work. The staff at the front desk was usually missing or taking personal calls. I asked them to not go into my room while I was out and when I came back, maintenance staff was in my room without my permission. I don't recommend it. It's more like a hostel than a hotel.

Seems like room was never cleaned

The place was shabby and in really bad condition, and it smelled absolutely terrible! It was located in a really bad neighborhood and did not feel safe at all! We tried to get help with parking, but there was no help to be found. The hotel is cheap, but that’s also the only positive thing to say.

This hotel is a block away from city hall, civic center plaza and other gorgeous buildings. We were within walking distance to bus stops, Bart stations and other local transit. We did not want to be in heart of tourist area and this was perfect. We loved that we could walk to local restaurants, cafes & bakeries, because of the proximity to government buildings, many places close by 8pm. As long as you are aware of that, its a good place to stay. I think people forget that San Fran is an old city with old buildings (thats the charm). I like that those buildings are repurposed, (hotels, shops, restaurants) and are not completely gutted to make them look brand new (if you want something new, gray and boring, stay somewhere else). I like that the hotel bathroom had the old tiles, small elevator and people were friendly and helpful.This hotel is cute, roomy and simple, we slept & kept our stuff there. There is no A/C, but you dont need it (visited in August from AZ) we kept the window open and at 3am it was really cold.

The hotel was old, my mattress had a very large burn hole in it, the bathroom was dirty, and a lot of the fixtures and doors didn't close right. We didn't feel terribly safe but we are from Alaska and can hold our own. You get what your pay for and the location was nice for walking and right in the heart of the city. The price matched what we stayed in I guess.

We arrived an hour before check in. Front desk was accommodating and got us checked in right away. The hotel is obviously dated however, it is very unique. Pricing of the hotel I found was rather cheap compared to many of the other hotels I searched around the area. The rooms were clean. The beds are in dire need of an upgrade as they are dirty, old and very uncomfortable. There is no air conditioning in the room but, there is a big window that opens up with fresh air that is perfect! There was also a mini fridge in the room. Free wifi internet access. The hotel is easy to find from the main market street and is central downtown. The area does have homeless people wondering or resting however, they did not bother us at all. I found the majority of the areas where we walked there were homeless people so it’s not just in the hotel area. All in all the hotel could use some upgrades, the staff are super friendly and hardworking. I would definitely stay here again if I ever go back to San Francisco.

It’s an old hotel in the tenderloin. If you keep your expectations realistic, it’s a great hotel!! It’s not for the super delicate or boogie oriented folks. We absolutely loved our stay. Great food right outside the door, a parking lot around the corner, awesome music venue around the block. Wish I could do the whole weekend all over again.
