Liked: Good location. Great facilities in the 6 bed female room, fully fitted kitchen, and ensuite bathroom. Soaps and towels included. Everything that we needed for the four days we were there.
Disliked: Would have been nice to have had a commnal area, but we knew that there wasn't one before we arrived, so it wasn't the end of the world. It was also a bit of a hassle getting into the building for the first time, but once you had your room key that works on the front door, it's fine.

Liked: I liked the vareity of rooms that were available. The bathrooms are private and there are a good amount of bathrooms and showers, didn't have to wait to use either bathroom or shower. The staff is very approachable and knowledgable. It was cool that they offer coffee ,tea, hot water, also there's a microwave and laundry room, which was especially nice for me becasuse I stayed for 4 nights.
Disliked: Joanna left no negative feedback.

Liked: Great value for the money. Clean, quiet, except for the occasional band rehearsal downstairs. I didnt consider it a problem though.
Disliked: No receptionist after 11 pm. If you need something, you need to call the manager who lives somewhere else. Could be solved better.

Liked: It was really close to everything and really safe even though it's right next to the somewhat seedier part of town (Tenderloin a couple blocks away but Bush street is relatively safe - or as safe as you can have in a big city like San Francisco). The staff was also very nice and they kept the shared bathrooms clean enough (for shared bathrooms)! I would (and will very soon) definitely stay there again! Value for money was awesome.
Disliked: Stayed there for almost a week in one room and I decided to endure the whole time with the bedbug colony in my bed... It wouldn't have made any sense to move to another room and thus transfer the bugs to yet another bed. I do hope they would do something about the bedbugs in (I guess at least some of) the rooms since otherwise it's an awesome hotel for the price. And I'm going to stay there again *even if they had* the occasional bedbug problem since I'm willing to bet money that ALL of the cheap stays in and around Union Square / Tenderloin have their own occasional bed bug problems as well...

Liked: Clean, safe and friendly. Really comfy beds. They've got a fun music-decor going (album covers and saxophones hanging on the wall.) Decent walking distance from everywhere. Amazing value, given what you're paying.
Disliked: It would have been nice to have a communal room.

Liked: The location is superb, because very centered to the various neighborboods of the city. Therefore everything within walking distance, if you're up for that. For the rest I like the facilities offered in my (single) room, such as fridge and TV,
Disliked: The hotel is kinda oldfashioned decorated. Further there is this (music)band that rehearses a couple of times a week somewhere in the building that you can hear very well.
