Let me start by saying that I am not the type of person that will give a bad review for very petty things. I am, however, the type of person that will give praise when it is deserved. Having said that, here is my review of this "hotel".
The Hotel
The hotel is located in what is considered the slums of San Francisco. In this area you will find the types of things that you would expect to see in the Bronx or Downtown LA. During the day you will encounter peddlers, the homeless, and prostitutes. The area around the hotel is riddled with roaches and the smell of urine. I will say this, if you are looking for a place where you can get your car broken into, buy drugs and sex and be afraid to leave things in your room, then this is the place for you. If you are part of the other 99% of people, I can tell you that you will be very unpleased.
According to the front desk (who barely speak English), there is security, but we never saw any security. Which brings me to my next point.
In the day it does not look like much, you remember that between this hotel and the building next to it, is the alley. If you look (on the picture) towards the back where you see a silver car: That is where you will find the local drug dealer/pimp every single night. You will recognize him because he is always back there (after sun down) wearing a baseball cap. If he sees you looking at him, he will actually knock on your door and offer you weed. If you say "no", he will mutter something and walk away. If you leave the hotel at night, he will ask you if you are looking for sex. Once this happens, I can assure you, you will not feel safe. The other thing you will notice about this area, is the strong smell of urine that engulfs the entire section.
