...and you know who you are! I was attracted by the "idea" of this hotel. We recycle, and the free loaner bikes appealed as well. I assumed the hotel would be sort of a green/no frills place, so clearly not high maintenance people, it was fine for the price. We did not find bins for recycling, or separating trash. Room was clean, fresh towels, even when we hung them up in the "universal sign" that we were willing to use again. Not complaining, just not really "green".
The photos online are a bit deceptive, the lobby is MUCH smaller than it appears, but the room we had was much LARGER than we expected. (Interior room, only noise was across the open court). It was our first time in SF, and we were not prepared for the homeless situation in the city, and near the hotel, even though we had heard, and read about it beforehand. Our take: worse than NYC, DC, Being aware of our surroundings, and taking a cab at night (pretty cheap, city is not that big) made us feel more comfortable. Daytime walking to the bus/streetcar not a problem, just be aware. Our rate was over $110, a fair price, if you want BETTER than a Good Hotel, you need to pay a lot more! The bed was comfortable for me, (firm) slept soundly, which is not my norm! No AC, but not needed in September, open window on higher , interior floors was plenty safe and cool. The hotel across the street is a "sister hotel" and they have a restaurant we went to for breakfast and one burger night. Really tasty food, well priced.
The decor is fun, young, trendy, yet the mix of guests was really a mix of ages, maybe just looking for a good deal. The staff, which we encountered, (4 different people) were all very helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. Handled large group check in, very quickly as we waited for some info.
