Nice hotel for the budget conscious

Honestly, I liked my stay there, the hotel has a certain charm to and was close to where I needed to be - the SFJazz venue and Chinatown. But it might not be for everyone, you are sharing a small restroom and another decent size shower located outside your room. Its almost like a hostel but your room is private. But for the price and location, its pretty good.

The staff at the Layne were very friendly and helpful at all times. It is positioned close to Union Square so you can access many of the tourist features without problem. It is also close to theatres and some great restaurants. One tip - request a room at the back of the property as Jones Street can be very noisy.

DON'T BE SCARED OFF BY ANY MISCONCEPTIONS! Expect friendly, efficient staff to greet you at this secure, clean, newly renovated hotel. The location, a few steps off Geary, is conveniently located to vast parts of the city.

I felt very safe staying at this hotel and the staff are amazing. It's a simple historic building, family run, clean and trustworthy. Just off the beaten path, this hotel is located conveniently and not an issue to stay at for this female. If the price is right but you are worried about the location, don't be, it is fine to access and feels safe. I really can't say enough about the wonderful family that runs this hotel.

I liked staying in a building from 1912. It was clean and well-maintained. Staff was especially helpful, extending to us when we needed some unusual help. Great dining opportunities within walking distance. Don't go downhill on Jones St. Danger.

Nice very clean and well-maintained vintage hotel. Dining options nearby. I'd asked for a local map, w/transit lines. They'd had none. I'd had to go to another hotel where I'd received two great maps. Close to trans and Union Square.

I bought a cheap hotel in SF on the fly, almost abandoned my deposite when I realized where it actually was located and started walking there. If you’re traveling without kids and feel confident in sketchy areas this place is perfect. Room was clean. Man at the front desk was respectful, helpful and very self aware of the neighborhood they’re located in. Tenderloin is a hard pill to swallow, but again, if you’re looking for a very inexpensive, clean room, very close to BART stops (Powell & Civic Ctr) than this place is just fine. 4 out of 5

This is a really cool old hotel (built in 1912). If you are looking for a modern five star hotel (with all the amenities), it is probably not for you. But, if you enjoy staying in a building that is on the historic register, you will really like this place. The elevator is vintage - but for me that was part of the charm. It isn't fancy - but the room was very clean, the bed was comfortable. The TV and Internet both worked fine. What really made it for me was the staff. Day or night you are greeted by one of the managers who quickly get to know and recognize you. I felt very safe in the hotel. The neighbourhood is kind of typical for San Francisco once you get away from the main tourist area. You may see colourful people on the street. There is a great little Mexican restaurant across the street. I'd definitely stay here again.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Upon arrival desk service was rude and not welcoming. Once checked into the room we noticed a few appliances not working/ outlets as well. We called the front desk and was told there’s nothing they can do Ridley and hanged up. Asked to speak to a manager and was denied stated nothing they can do at the time and that they can’t change our room either way because they are sold out for the night. There was a change of shift and the following person that came was a lot nicer and apologized for the inconvenience. Overall the experience there was not great. I do not recommend it. The area at night is also very active meaning a lot of homeless and noise.

When I read other reviews I was concerned about the location because homeless can be a wild card in these situations. But the area was well monitored by police. Now for the service, they were absolute sweethearts, they told me where I should go to walk around and asked me to be safe. I had to leave late at night and since you have to be buzzed on I asked how it was going to work and they explained it was fine that someone will be up to let me in, but as I left they expressed their concern about where I was parked and even told me that the parking lots usually close after 11. (I didn't know that and was very thankful for that) When I got back they definitely were up and buzzed me in with no problem. The hotel is charming, I got a one bed and it was exactly what I needed nothing fancy but it came with bed tv closet and a sink-all very clean and tidy (oh and they have a shared bathroom in the hallway). These people taking care of the hotel were very nice and caring. There is a $250 deposit but truly if you just need a place to rest, perfectly fine to use this place.
