Decent hotel, not worth it with homeless

Not worth it, save your money and stay away from tenderloin. Might as well just stay way from san fran in total

The hotel is very good for the price. We were very satisfied because all the hotels in SF are extremely expensive. We live in the bay area of San Francisco so we knew the neighborhood and were aware that it's a neighborhood with a lot of homeless people. So we went into the hotel aware of this negative point. But it didn't bother us during our stay. The room was clean, the bed comfortable, very well decorated, small but very suitable for us!

The neighborhood, but we knew about it, so it didn't bother us.

Good value for money, comfortable rooms and good location for tourists.

The first room we were put in made a noise from the aircon system every 30 minutes that lasted 2 minutes. It was so loud we needed to move rooms. The second room windows were so light we could hear everything on the street all night from homeless fighting to cars doing burnouts. The floor was dirty, as was the bathroom counter. The blinds were dirty and there was no tv remote. Every time we attempted to speak with a staff member they were on FaceTime with people and we felt like an inconvenience. They remained on the call every time.

Nice enough property, friendly staff.

The location is horrendous. There were druggies everywhere which made the hotel feel exceptionally unsafe, even in the foyer. At one point a man wearing a knife around his neck walked into the foyer, and another blocked the exit with a shopping trolley. There were people high on drugs (literally hundreds of them) up the back alley, even leaning against the glass out the front of the building, There was human faeces all over the sidewalk. Would not go back.

it is near towards districts and restaurants! i have stayed here before and I never had a problem. I do not understand why people would dock points because of the homeless people. The homeless people are not scary and aggressive as long as you are not harming or being rude to them. Just leave the homeless people alone and they would do the same to you.

The room was very clean and very nicely decorated. It was located close to bus stops and restaurants. TV was functional and there was a huge mirror, perfect to check your outfit before heading out.

Very noisy, as the walls are pretty thin. Unfortunately, a good share of guests on my floor were quite loud (in multiple ways ><), doors do get slammed and sounds of ambulances were not uncommon.

The room was modern and clean.

The location is in Tenderloin, not at all safe, huge issues with unhoused sleeping in the side street. I made a note to Uber not to drive me down this side lane as people were living in the street. I arrived back at the hotel one night and the door was locked and the lobby was unattended. I was locked out on the street and thankfully the Uber driver waited with me while we banged on the door until a member of staff returned to let me into the hotel. Can be a scary location. Shame because the hotel and staff are pretty good.

On arrival at the hotel I was skeptical of the hotel outside environment. However, when I entered the hotel lobby I was impressed and relieved how warm and inviting it was. From the friendly staff to overall decor and the cleanliness draws you in and adds a calming effect as-well-as security during your hotel visit. A little bit noisy due to outside traffic but overall experience was great.

Hotel location was great but the surrounding environment is not great. There are homeless people in the surrounding area but not in front of the hotel. There is no parking at this location however private parking is available at an additional cost in the surrounding area.

It is close to a drug zombie culture that you will run into if walking the area. People ding drugs on the street. Very 80โ€™s. For safety Uber or Lyft everywhere and you will be fine.

It's a horrible area, things that are on the website aren't there. The bar, a few other things. You have to gk outside in the dangerous Tenderloin to smoke, rooms are really small, but the rooms are clean. Two guys tried to rob my brother and I. Some homeless drug addicts. The Indian man at the front desk didn't even call my room when someone I didn't want to see came and brought me a weird gift. He even admitted that the guy didn't even say my name. I couldn't sleep at all there. I left and went to another hotel to get some.sleep and still had a paid room there. The window in the room was separated. Totally off track. I was compensated for NOTHING

I didn't even stay because it was too inconvenient. The price attracted me.

Inability to park near the hotel. Staff not being helpful on where to park. From the parking garage to the hotel, walking was dangerous, so we had to turn around for our safety. I don't like that I paid just to not stay there. The website lied because it said there was parking. As someone who has never been in the city before, I decided to stay in Berkeley at the Double Tree Hilton. It cost me $8 to park temporarily. Zero.stars

Coffee & hot chocolate.

Dear Hotel Epik Management, I am writing to express my profound disappointment and extreme dissatisfaction with the appalling incident that occurred during my stay at your hotel. On the night of May 24th, at approximately 2:20 AM, a complete stranger entered my room (Room No. 413), leaving me startled, horrified, and questioning the basic security protocols of your establishment. To my utter disbelief, this intruder was able to gain access to my room because the front desk had inexplicably provided them with a key. This is not only a gross violation of my privacy but also a severe breach of trust and security. I am struggling to comprehend how such a grievous error could have been made. Why was a key to my room handed over to someone without my consent or knowledge? This question will haunt me for many sleepless nights, as the sense of safety I once had in hotels has been utterly shattered. The intrusion and the subsequent fear and anxiety it caused are indescribable. As a guest, I entrusted your hotel with my safety and security, an expectation that was egregiously unmet. The actions (or lack thereof) of your front desk staff have left me feeling vulnerable and deeply unsettled. Given the severity of this incident and the unacceptable lapse in your hotelโ€™s duty to ensure guest safety, I formally demand a full refund for my stay. This is the least that should be done in light of the distress and alarm caused by your staff's negligence. I expect a prompt response to this letter and a swift resolution to my complaint. The mishandling of this situation is wholly inexcusable, and I trust that you will take immediate and appropriate action to address this grave security lapse. Sincerely, Jonathan Urquijo

The surrounding area isnโ€™t great โ€ฆ the homelessness is very bad but they donโ€™t speak to you and it didnโ€™t bother us.

This place is great. Dont listen to the hype about it being in a bad part of town. The area is more than ok. I walk my daughter to the 3 close by parks all the time with no problems. The staff is super nice, and you cant beat the price for quality of rooms and location to downtown.

There is nothing I did not like about my stay.
