1st trip to San Francisco & I really regret not using Google Street View. When we were driving around looking for it, we passed the homeless center literally a block away & it made us feel like we made a bad choice. Its surprising how quickly walking down one street to the next can change. As once you walked further... More

For the location and price, this hotel was great. It's at the bottom of Nob Hill and San Francisco is at your feet. The room was well-furnished and the bed was comfortable. I found it to be quite clean. The hotel staff was quite friendly and helpful. The room has a refrigerator and microwave. However, you get what you pay... More

I was booked into this hotel as part of a tour group. Upon doing research, I decided against booking a room here prior to the trip departure for the few days on my own exploring the city. I'm very glad that I made that decision. Firstly, this hotel is in the Tenderloin district of SF. I'm a single 27 year... More

On my first trip to San Francisco I had the pleasure to stay at ABVI. San Francisco is a vast beautiful city and the best way to visit is to stay downtown. The building itself is a historic venue which is apparent when you first walk in and see the architecture of the lobby. The neighborhood is very close to... More

The hotel did what we needed it to do. After a lot of research we chose this hotel for the location and the price. We were able to stay here for 7 nights cheaper than 6 nights anywhere else and it is just 2 blocks away from the cable cars and a quick walk from Market Street. There are a... More

Do not stay here. The pictures you see on the website are not what you will get. I got 2 bed room where I could barely move in between the beds and the furniture. The rooms are very small but the worst part of my experience in this hotel (actually it should be considered a motel) is the constant odor... More

It really is no better than OK. The location is a bit dodgy and is not the cleanest. We stayed one night at the end of a tour and we had tried to extend our stay for the extra 3 nights we were in SF but thnakfully they were full and stayed in China town instead. The Union Square location... More

Got in late at night and literally had to walk over human urine on the sidewalk to enter the building. The location is in a area that I would consider unsafe and over run by homeless. The front desk manger was very nice but that was the only plus. The lobby, elevator, hallways, and rooms are filthy! The sheets where... More
