8/10 Good
"this was not an upscale hotel, but it was okay. The room was ok but the bed sucked, the mattress was like the ocean, wavy and sloppy, and only a double. the room could have had more light and the AC, lets just say I have had worse. A ceiling fan w/light would have been great. I was not real uncomfortable because as in most hotel stays I simply sleep and shower in the room, don't stay in often. Overall I was okay with the place, it was so convenient for us. Near Pikes Market. the pier district and across the street from a great little drinking establishment, Sonya's. would I stay there again? yes I wopuld but having a handicap I would like to have a handicap bathroom and a better mattress, preferably queen size. On a scale from 1 to 10, I'll give it a seven, with abetter bed it would have gotten an 9, cause I have never been in a 10 hotel."
