YOTEL San Francisco
Room was tiny. Nice to have a towel warmer, but accessible from shower so towel got cold before it could be used.

Embassy Hotel
This hotel was absolutely filthy and not up to code in my view. The elevator did not work, there were pipes showing everywhere. The room was unclean. Sheets, bedding, and carpet were so old they were tattered.
