Cons: The hotel was well decorated, sexy and had a great vibe. The rooftop bar was awesome and had lines out the door everyday for the sunset. But the tenderloin is an awful.

Pros: Service was so friendly it actually seemed odd, especially for SF which in my opinion isn't the greatest city when it comes to service.
Cons: The location is convenient, but you are still in the TL, so not the greatest location to go wandering around unless you are familiar with the surroundings.

Cons: If you're a light sleeper, DO NOT stay here. Street is extremely busy most of the time, windows/walls didn't block any sound. It was also a little odd that the bartender/bar was also the front desk so if you needed something you had to call the bar.

3.8 Mediocre
Pros: The location near the City hall and the Opera.
Cons: I was traveling for work and had a 6 nights stay at Inn at the Opera. Even though that credit card (Business) was given prior to my trip the hotel insisted on taking the amount of 2130 USD from my private credit card. The travel agency that booked my stay try to solve that with the hotel with no luck, because Inn at the Opera refused to use the business credit card. The worst was that i tried to speak with a supervisor because it was clear that reception couldn't help and the answer i was given was that he was a very busy man. I found that attitude totally direspectful. The room was quite small for the American standards, with old and heavy furnitures. The room was constantly humid. Even though i stayed there for six nights the bedsheets were never changed. The toilet-articles were never replaced with new even though i demonstratively left the little that left from the soap to be seen and replaced. The hotel lacks amenities, they offer complimentary breakfast which is good but having in mind the outrageous high price a room cost per night ‘’complementary’’ sounds funny.

Cons: Our room was cold. In addition it was at the front of the hotel and this meant there was more traffic noise than we would have liked. The noise from the security shutters woke us really early on a couple of mornings

Pros: Good Wifi. Clean room. Value for money.
Cons: Provide guests with enough shampoo. Respond to questions via Booking (I've sent my Q twice - no reply).

3.8 Mediocre
Pros: - Safety: there was a total of 3 doors to unlock to get to our room - The neighborhood is lively even though expensive (with plenty of restaurants & bars).
Cons: - One morning, the staff listened to loud music from 8am to 1pm & didn't stop in spite of our complaints (there seems to be a patio downstairs used by the staff). We could even hear a lady sing and whistle (walls are paper thin). - Despite several reminders, they forgot to call our cab for the airport as the clerk who was supposed to work that morning didn't show up!! - Breakfast: the room is quite small and there was no available seat when we arrived, we had to stand like idiots for a couple of minutes in the middle of the room. Plus the tables aren't individual, but must be shared: be prepared for breakfast with strangers. - Breakfast was $10/person but was quite limited. - The staff wasn't nice. - Don't get fooled by the nice pictures on their website, our room was located in another building in the back and clearly it wasn't that great looking. - 3 rooms share a bathroom: OKAY, BUT there was no sink in each room unlike some pictures suggested it. - The shared bathroom is only deeply cleaned once a week, meaning that the shower is only cleaned once a week! - They provide shampoo and conditioner in the shower, but there's no liquid soap for the sink. So every time you need to use the toilet, don't forget to bring your bar of soap (not convenient at all!).

Cons: My biggest problem was the 36 steps to reach my room. Staff at the desk told me it would be 15. There was little I could do at that time. Every return home to my room became dreaded. I figured my happy price proved there's no free lunch.

Cons: The size of the room is very small though it is VALUE FOR MONEY. SF is an expensive place to stay and the location is very good, so the size of the room can be ignored.
5.5 Okay
Pros: The location was perfect, right next to a buzzing high street with lots to offer and a walk from golden gate park.
Cons: Room was dingy and we always felt like we had to wear shoes in the room. Showers were ok but again always took shower shoes. Walls are paper thin and most nights the doors to the front and back were open so sirens and people shouting in the street and in corridors woke us up frequently. Bedding and towels very stained, not pleasant.

Pros: Location was great, close to main streets and funky Hayes street.

3.3 Mediocre
Pros: I liked that there were not any bed bugs.
Cons: The gentleman who checked me in repeatedly made creepy comments about my age when checking me in and asked who I was staying with etc. It felt very intrusive and disturbed me for the rest of my stay. Additionally, there we no warning prior to our stay that the area is targeted for Smash and Grab. We were warned thankfully by people living in the area however the hotel staff gave us no warning even when asked directly where we should park. This would have been invaluable knowledge prior to our stay... we had to lug literally EVERYthing in our car to the hotel room up a flight of stairs. The shower was cold. The place stunk of cleaning product. The room was DIRTY. The sheets were dirty(stained... blood... YUCK.... the counter was covered in crumbs. The restroom was disgusting as well.
