"This is an excellent hotel for the cost. It's located in the heart of the tenderloin, which makes it a bit worrisome but I had zero issues with the location and the property feels safe and is clean, and the rooms have all I need with a microwave, small fridge, iron and board, hair dryer, large flat screen tv, and nice computer desk. The only reason I don't give it five stars is due to the lack of air conditioning but its an old building. There is also no breakfast but that's okay, there are...
