2/10 Poor

Upon arrival desk service was rude and not welcoming. Once checked into the room we noticed a few appliances not working/ outlets as well. We called the front desk and was told there’s nothing they can do Ridley and hanged up. Asked to speak to a manager and was denied stated nothing they can do at the time and that they can’t change our room either way because they are sold out for the night. There was a change of shift and the following person that came was a lot nicer and apologized for the inconvenience. Overall the experience there was not great. I do not recommend it. The area at night is also very active meaning a lot of homeless and noise.

The hotel is in terrible location, hundreds of homeless people and doing drugs around, the room has bugs and dirty, dusty and just not clean at all , doesn’t have own bathroom, no AC , and pretty much a dirty and definitely not in a safe environment. They have a $250 deposit absolutely a ripoff ridiculous pricing for such horrible hotel . Don’t know how this hotel is up to code , it should be reported

Nice hotel for the budget conscious
Honestly, I liked my stay there, the hotel has a certain charm to and was close to where I needed to be - the SFJazz venue and Chinatown. But it might not be for everyone, you are sharing a small restroom and another decent size shower located outside your room. Its almost like a hostel but your room is private. But for the price and location, its pretty good.

Very friendly
I cannot express how friendly and helpful staff was. We felt safe with the security (being buzzed in to the hotel). We had originally booked another hotel and that hotel was sketchy and canceled our reservations with no notice so we reserved the Layne Hotel. Would stay here again!

10/10 Exceptional

Staff was very kind. The room was very clean and well kept. Only caveat was the lack of air conditioning but once I cracked the window, SF weather kept it cool. Hotel was on the brink of the unsafe part of downtown, but staff let me know to just avoid going down the street. It never felt unsafe. It was a little noisy at times, but what can you expect being downtown in a big city really? I would return if ever in SF again :-)

I bought a cheap hotel in SF on the fly, almost abandoned my deposite when I realized where it actually was located and started walking there. If you’re traveling without kids and feel confident in sketchy areas this place is perfect. Room was clean. Man at the front desk was respectful, helpful and very self aware of the neighborhood they’re located in. Tenderloin is a hard pill to swallow, but again, if you’re looking for a very inexpensive, clean room, very close to BART stops (Powell & Civic Ctr) than this place is just fine. 4 out of 5

This is a really cool old hotel (built in 1912). If you are looking for a modern five star hotel (with all the amenities), it is probably not for you. But, if you enjoy staying in a building that is on the historic register, you will really like this place. The elevator is vintage - but for me that was part of the charm. It isn't fancy - but the room was very clean, the bed was comfortable. The TV and Internet both worked fine. What really made it for me was the staff. Day or night you are greeted by one of the managers who quickly get to know and recognize you. I felt very safe in the hotel. The neighbourhood is kind of typical for San Francisco once you get away from the main tourist area. You may see colourful people on the street. There is a great little Mexican restaurant across the street. I'd definitely stay here again.

It was a gated hotel which made me feel very safe. I loved the vintage historic vibe. Clean and simple. The staff were very friendly.

2/10 Poor

This is my first time to experience a terrible customer service in my whole life. The front desk personnel was so rude, not patient, grumpy, cranky. He did not instruct in a good way all that is to be instructed to all the customers and if you don't get it the first time he will get pissed and mad. He even scolded me for not following instructions and I think any customer does not deserve that. Also, there door and elevator are very old and is not user friendly and he blamed me that the elevator is not working after I used this for the first time. I told him why he was so rude and asked for a manager to talk but he said he is the manager and I asked for a supervisor that is higher than him but he did not answer. I told him I will give a feedback to expedia about this since you sent me an email for a survey and he said he does not care. It was very traumatic experience for me and I am not sure why you keep them in your list of hotels for tourists. I am not sure if all the staff are that but the front desk was very rude. I am afraid they will charge me the $250 deposit fee for accusing me that I broke the elevator. If possible please black list this hotel in your list as I don't want this to happen to anyone else again. Please escalate this case.
