Executive Inn Mark Twain Hotel

Our tour group stayed here and this vintage hotel desperately needs refurbishing. The rugs are soiled and spotty, the ceilings have dark spots, and the one elevator only holds six people.

Most disturbing, the hotel is located on a seedy street where it is unsafe for women to walk. Panhandlers, alcoholics and drug users harass anyone who steps outside the lobby.

There is a saving grace: the staff of the hotel and its restaurants are friendly, helpful, and efficient. They cast a bright light amid the lost souls of the Tenderloin area.

The hotel was clean and comfortable and located close to Union Square/Cable Cars and Muni. It was a good value balancing price and location.

They had a very nice room, employees, and price. We stayed for the first two nights in an old hotel downtown which was cramped and old, yet historic. They charged us the same amount of money yet we were much more pleased with Ramada. It was also nice to see gay/lesbians.

This hotel made me feel excited: We were excited about how nice the room was even though it only cost about $100. Our car had broken down and we were stuck in San Francisco and to have such a nice room in exchange for our unexpected expense was very nice.
