The hotel is definitely old and you get the price that you pay for. It definitely gets the job done in terms of your basic needs: a clean room and a clean washroom. However, I’m not sure if I’ll stay here again. There was a foul odour that I smelled in the reception and hallway whenever I walked in. Also, the location is great but I don’t feel safe walking around by myself at nighttime. Furthermore, the room is not very soundproof so I can hear the people beside my room. I didn’t know that even though I chose a private washroom, the washroom was technically designed to be shared between two rooms. They do lock the other room’s access to it so you technically have the washroom to yourself but I can definitely hear when there are other people in the next room. The fan ceiling and opening the windows definitely helped with the cooling the room as it does get very hot but opening the windows just means you can hear the streetcars and other noises outside. I do appreciate that there is a tv and shampoo, conditioner, lotion, and a kettle were provided. Overall, my basic needs were met but don’t expect anything more. I hope they renovate this hotel one day.

Location, location, location! Just know that the closest and bestest garage to park in is one block back on the NW corner of Ofarrel and Mason. There is a rental car agency on the ground floor. Another BIG note, check is kitty corner and 1/2 block up Powell at the Hotel Stratford. You must check in there before you will be able to get into the Herbert!!! Id suggest, dropping someone in your party at the herbert, park, check in, then help each other up. If alone, you can walk 60yards with your bags after checking in so, drop you bags quickly at the stratford Hotel, park, check in, then walk back to the Herbert.

Great location. On Powell street and near Cable car, Bart, and Muni states. The hotel is small and not staff on site. Will need to check in at another hotel (Strafford). The room is simple but clean. No A/C which can be problematic during the summer. I stayed for 4 nights and didn't spend much time in the room which is fine. But I asked the staff (via text) for more coffee supply and got no response.
