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.

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.

The advertisement for this property was misleading. It's hard to learn from the advertisement that a toilet and shower are in separate chambers, which makes it extremely inconvenient. In addition, it is located in one of the worst parts of town, that does not look safe.

PLEASE DON'T BOOK OR STAY HERE. READ GOOGLE REVIEWS. (It's in the middle of the WORST part of San Francisco, where it's dangerous to even walk up to the front doors. The front doors are behind a locked cage. There's no parking, so you'll need to find an overpriced garage and try to safely navigate there on your own.) Hours after booking I tried calling to cancel for an emergency. Kept getting error messages saying the line was disconnected. Orbitz couldn't get through on the phone either. They said they'd send an email to see if they'd waive the no refund policy for this specific room. I called again days later and reached a man named R***Y. He was incredibly unhelpful and argumentative. He said they had no record of Orbitz contacting them via phone or email, and with nothing from Orbitz, they can't refund. He said that the GM would have the final say on a refund, but refused to give me a name, contact information, or a better time to call back. They've officially refused to refund. I'm afraid to write this review because this place still has my credit card information, but it's worth it to let others know to stay far away.

It’s great that the property front door requires that you get buzzed in because the surrounding area is plagued with vagabonds. The bed was hard, old, and it felt like I slept on a wood plank. The room got extremely cold and the bed sheets were untrustworthy. The bedding needs to be replaced. Perhaps the bedsheets were clean but they looked like they could have been soiled a few times throughout their long life at the hotel. Perhaps they were bought used to match the old dingy vibe of the hotel. Please get new bedsheets. Seriously.

It's never a good sign when multiple hotel staff tell you, unprompted, that it's unsafe around the area. No A/C, no heat, no amenities in the room and the topper, a random $250 "fee" which you have to contact your credit card company to get back. It was loud with motorcycles, sirens and music playing making it hard to sleep. Multiple homeless in the area with tents and you can't get into the hotel unless someone unlocks the gate. Spend a little extra and stay in a nicer area. Expedia should remove this property from it's offerings. The lower cost per night is lost with the extra $250 fee. Stay away, stay far away

This hotel was amazingly quiet and the hosts are very attentive. It has been years since my last visit to San Francisco and the homeless population is completely out of hand with half a dozen per block in this part of town. Only a few are clearly mentally ill, but it certainly gives a solitary female traveler pause. The hotel is secure with a locked front gate, but the city really needs a better plan.

The staff at the Layne were very friendly and helpful at all times. It is positioned close to Union Square so you can access many of the tourist features without problem. It is also close to theatres and some great restaurants. One tip - request a room at the back of the property as Jones Street can be very noisy.

Nice very clean and well-maintained vintage hotel. Dining options nearby. I'd asked for a local map, w/transit lines. They'd had none. I'd had to go to another hotel where I'd received two great maps. Close to trans and Union Square.

The Layne Hotel is in a classic building with a classic elevator and winding staircase. They have several unusual protocols to ensure you don’t damage anything. They check your room upon checking out for this purpose. It’s on the edge of the heart of the tenderloin so don’t complain about all of San Francisco because you chose reasonably priced hotel in the tenderloin!

I felt very safe staying at this hotel and the staff are amazing. It's a simple historic building, family run, clean and trustworthy. Just off the beaten path, this hotel is located conveniently and not an issue to stay at for this female. If the price is right but you are worried about the location, don't be, it is fine to access and feels safe. I really can't say enough about the wonderful family that runs this hotel.
