"Solid place to stay in the mission for a really good price. A lot of reviews complain about features of the neighborhood like the noise level, so if you're bothered by any of that stop looking at hotels in the mission or bring earplugs. Close to tons of great restaurants and fun shops, plus just a few blocks from the bart. They offer 24/7 check in. Our room had a microwave and fridge, a TV, and a fan. Could've used a few more towels as two people staying there but that'd be my only complaint."

Union Hotel

8/10 Good

"An old building near a street corner that’s apparently a big homeless gathering place. But the staff are friendly, the rooms are solid and clean with soft beds, and the building is secure. It’s also very close to a BART station (the aforementioned corner gathering place). If you’re 1-2 people looking to stay in San Francisco for cheap and don’t want to consider a hostel then it’s a good choice."
