There is no valet parking in spite of the website listing valet parking as an amenity. There is isn't even a good place to park in front of the hotel so you can check in and unload unless you want to stop in a bus/taxi lane.

I think the management did a great job of promoting the hotels best features and hiding its blemishes. I got a very clean room, with all of the amenities I wanted, for a very reasonable price. I also checked the mattress and it is zippered shut in its own enclosure. What Is not available is wider hallways, a wider staircase, newer windows, and a not-scary-to-use elevator. There is a lot of construction going on outside. However, these things are all outside the ability of management to change.

Expedia gives ratings on these properties that are misleading. This property was clean and quite but it was missing several normal features. It was given a high rating that was very misleading. The ratings should be broken into 1-4 stars for type of hotel and then 0-100 within that category. this hotel did not have heat or air and that was not disclosed. It was not ADA compliant as had steps at entry. No ice machine. Owner/manager was very nice and very helpful with everything it is just the Expedia rating system that is flawed.

The property is very unique in style. My room was super clean. I did not have any expectations because of the area but was impressed with cleanliness. I would stay here again. There is a store conveniently located just outside the property and that really helped with dining. Carpets can use some upgrade.

The last Room I had was fabulous. The room was on the 4th floor, so there was nobody walking overhead. It had a breakfast nook kind of window arrangement which made the room look larger. It was meticulously clean, both the bathroom and the bedroom. Loved it.

I would have rate this higher; HOWEVER, I felt dirty after sleeping here as I found a condom on the floor. I came in to check in shower (took about 30 min) so I did not fully inspect the room. I left and came back very late night and showered and went to bed. In the morning as I was cleaning up before checking out I found the condom right under the bed. I felt so nasty knowing they did not properly cleaned the room. Never will stay here again.

The room itself was clean, just older. Ceiling had capped electrical wires hanging from the ceiling. The windows had an abundance of mold on them which was worrisome as there was no air-conditioning so the only air was coming through the windows. The bed was clean but very firm. The bathroom was the tough part. There was an abundance of mold on the walls but mostly hidden behind the toilet. The oddest part was having a random maintenance man working on our room in the middle of the day with no warning. He insisted on being there even after staff requested he leave. We spent almost $1200 for two nights to stay in this place and I would have expected better. The public spaces are very old and grimy. The staff was nice.

It was nice having a mini frig and microwave and the room was quiet. Bed was comfortable. The only chair in the room was a desk chair. No overhead light and no light or table at bedside. I ended up leaving the bathroom light on all night to at least see when I got up. Bathroom door dragged on the floor and was hard to close. Heat was radiators that only started heating after I had gone to sleep. I got what I paid for and it was decent if you just need a place to sleep.

I did not eat at the local restaurants. The bed was comfortable, and the pillows were very soft. I was concerned about bedbugs, but the mattress is completely wrapped in a plastic wrapper. Problem solved. There was a lot of street noise based on road construction, loud music, and people yelling. Fortunately, I slept through most of it.

My overall rating of this place (given the price because you get what you pay for) is a 10/10. The front desk man was very nice and the check in process was very easy! The elevator that takes you up, makes you feel like you’re going back in time but it was cool. The cleanliness of the carpet/hallways was upkept. The room itself was small and quaint however it fit our needs. No complaints from me :) The area didnt seem very sketchy, downtown SF itself is a little eh and you have to keep an eye out but I had no issues. This place does not offer parking but there’s several garages nearby, we committed to using public transportation and it was an experience for sure! I’m coming back the next time I have a trip planned out for the city.

Local who was looking for a budget room for a few days - apt being painted. I always book a single room night and if it’s worthy I book additionally, as I did for 5 more night. Older hotel - great cage elevator reminded me of NYC/Boston/London. Hallways were a little worn but my room was newly renovated. Parque floors, modern color paint, new bed and new TV. On the smallish side but booked solo for least expensive rate. Very affordable - my two other go-to hotels were very pricey -convention?- so took a chance on Milthila Hotel and super-glad I did. I would definitely recommend this hotel. I saw/heard a few older international guests… and then a few younger - back-packers- but pretty quiet the entire stay on the 4th floor in room not facing the street-Sutter. I will be back!

Stay was fine, room was clean but small. I stayed because I was attending a show. I left a signed tour poster in the room I stayed in and noticed when I was home (only 2 hours away) I called back and the man at the front desk was rude and did not care when he told me they threw it away. You’re a hotel, you should have a lost and found and keep items for a certain amount of time, especially if the guest calls the same day they checked out to tell you they left something. I’m VERY ANGRY.
