Wonderful

Good Quiet sleeping Place in the city center close to everything Liked: The staff is super nice and accomodated us great. The kitchen has everything we need and other guests are following the house rules nicely. The room was quiet and beds are confortable, and it was so easy to sleep well at night. (I can't believe in san francisco city center there could be such a quiet place!) I would like to thank the staff who accomodated us well and hope to see you again in the future. Disliked: the toilet always run of of toilet paper.
