Casa Loma was a decent place to stay for the price. Small and a little cold but what do you expect for an old building in San Francisco. The shared bathroom was not as clean as it could have been but if you just want a cheap place to stay in a good location this is the place.

Liked: Quiet and straight to the point.
Disliked: Shared bathroom was not as clean as it could have been.

Liked: The location was a good walking distance to what I needed and the the price was relatively cheap comparing to other options
Disliked: The room was small and depressing. The walls were very thin so you could easily hear the other rooms

A good option if your...

Liked: Beds and bathroom were clean and comfortable, staff was friendly. Nice location compared to similar priced hotels.
Disliked: Rooms are very small. Thin walls, construction happening in hotel.

Passable

Liked: Location was accessible to public transportation and many shops, neighborhood felt safe. There was a fridge and microwave, a heater was provided upon request. Bathroom was modern, soap and towels were provided. We had night tables with lamps and charging ports. Coffee was provided in the lobby every morning. Staff/owner were pleasant. Seemed like a family owned business. A good place to stay if your budget is tight and you have low expectations.
Disliked: The room had a mild odor. The sheets were clean but the comforter was not large enough or thick enough to keep us warm. Room service was sporadic, sometimes the bed was made, sometimes the towels were replaced, the bathroom was never cleaned (we were there for 10 days), the street was a little noisy and we coud hear our neighbor snoring. We discovered we couldn't keep the windows open when we tried to air out the stuffy and slightly smelly room. The bed was lumpy and hard. The carpet was very old and looked dingy. There was plenty of hot water but it took a very long time to heat up in the morning. The building is old and in need of quite a bit of TLC.

Liked: Obviously location is everything!2 blocks to the Big Bus Hop on Hop Off.
Disliked: Maybe it's only me, but the room had no desk or the ability for me to sit at my computer and do work comfortably.

Liked: The room was small, but exceptionally clean. It had everything we needed and a great window sitting space to look out over the street below. There was free coffee in the morning and the staff were kind and flexible.

Poor

Liked: The bed was clean but the facilities are very run down

It was decent value for...

Liked: Clean, quiet, coffee machine in the morning was fantastic.
Disliked: No temperature control within the room. We got terrible sleep because it was way too hot, there was nothing we could do, and there were no fans. The shower is painfully small, and we couldn’t shower together. The room was very tiny- I don’t mind a small room but would have preferred a little more warning about just how small it was. It’s a good thing we were traveling light, or there would have been issues. Instructions for arrival weren’t super clear. Didn’t know we needed to use the buzzer for someone to come to the door. Would have appreciated more clear advance notice of parking situation, nearby parking garages open on weekends, etc. we walked about 7 blocks to and from a paid parking lot.
