What really stood out to me was the overall aesthetic and the thoughtful amenities. The hotel has a beautiful, welcoming vibe from the moment you walk in. Breakfast was great, and the highlight for me was the latte machine in the lobby—such a nice touch! I also loved the cucumber-infused water, which made the space feel refreshing and elevated. Overall, a really enjoyable stay.

Moji was so awesome! Great service, clean space, great location. Had a window room which was a bit chaotic, but nothing that kept me awake. Perfect stay, will be back!
Place is small but comfy, parking around is limited unfortunately a lot of unhoused population around the hotel.

The bed is comfortable and no complaints about cleanliness, but you can hear everything through the walls and the neighborhood is pretty noisy and a little sketchy. Staff was courteous. Restaurant next door was excellent. Coffee machine in the lobby seemed to put chocolate in every coffee. Strange.
I liked the decor of this Hotel, it was very accessible to the train, local restaurants, and shopping.

Disliked: Amenities
My interactions with staff were friendly and helpful. Lobby was nice and had a nice coffee machine. Hotel was deceiving from the pictures. My room door had a missing/broken keypad, no lighting in the shower, and suite with no mini fridge. Would I want to stay here again, no… but if it was the cheapest out of the area when I needed to be back then I would.

Close to city hall. Although room is pretty small. Pictures online look different than real life
The hotel was great, clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. There are homeless around if you go down Eddy street.

Room was the size of a dorm room! It’s ok if you’re not planning to stay in the room for long. Room was clean. Cheap toiletries, and housekeeping has no set hours. Vacuum was being used at random hours including nights.
Neighborhood isn’t great.
Parking on your own is not possible! There’s no spaces anywhere near. The “valet” is good enough to keep your car safe overnight but it’s only available from 8am-10. So if you need the car earlier-it’s a hassle, and if it’s past 10pm you have to do street parking on your own.
Hotel was clean inside. Despite the overpowering perfume smell. They keep automated air fresheners running.
Outside in the alley was disgusting as there’s no big dumpster so everything is left on the sidewalk.
Staff was ok. We had interaction w/a male whom seemed to be bothered when asked anything. And then we had another staff member who was polite and professional.
Overall; price seemed high for the area and overall service
Step-in shower, this was why I chose it. Great & clean bedding, cart to manage luggage & gear, staff nice & helpful. Location near Muni 5 & 38, both going to Golden Gate Park. CVS & Walgreens close by. I have a permanent disability, so accessibility is important, and this place was remodeled & accessible. Front door even had an opener. One just had to be careful about location.
Actual room was nice and clean, breakfast was nice and simple. Location was decent. hallways had a weird smell. Area is full of homeless people. Don’t get a room that’s next to the main road as you’ll be up all night due to car engine noise. WiFi didn’t work.
