Travelodge Central Market St - San Francisco

Not the worst but there are definitely better cheap places in SF. The comforters and sheets had a ton of hole. everything else was as expected.

The hotel was under (MUCH NEEDED) construction so the first impression was or a war zone, so not too welcoming. The room we reserved was NON Smoking and we were given a SMOKING room and this room had been smoked in for MANY years, possibly centuries, it was disgusting. We of course only found out the room we had been assigned was a smoking room after dragging our bags all the way across the property. I went back to the desk, requested a NON smoking room and was accommodated immediately - so that was bright spot in an otherwise bleak stay. The room was only sort of clean, with matches left on the bathroom floor, and the seat left up. Overall I would rate this Travel Lodge as one of the most spectacularly underwhelming hotels I have ever stayed in. Will I come back? To San Francisco, yes, to the Travel Lodge on Market? No way, not even if they gave me a free room.

Great location for easy local transportation.

I was charged extra for parking, of which there were very FEW spaces, I had to wait at the overnight window for 20 minutes before someone showed up to help me, the man could only speak 2 words of English ID and Credit Card, they also charged me twenty bucks for "incidentals" that i haven't seen back yet, the room was to loud, had no a/c or air, seemed like a party/ crack motel, I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS HOTEL TO ANYONE, STAY BY THE AIRPORT IT CHEAP TOO AND MUCH MUCH NICER.

This Travelodge is adequate if all you need is a place to sleep while in SFO on business or have family in the neighborhood. Get to know the Housekeeping Supervisor and tip here well on the first day of your stay - she is terrific .

It is aways a wonderful experience when staying at the Travel Lodge Central, located on Market Street in San Francisco. When on business, I stay there approximately 3 weeks out to the month. When I'm greeted at the front desk by Roger and his co-worker, I know right then that I will have another wonderful stay at the Travel Lodge and when I have any questions or concerns, Roger always take care of them, right away, it's a wonderful place to stay.

For what you will pay for the room it's worth it, keep in mind that your there to experience the city, not the room.

I easily paid half of what most modest hotels cost. Stayed on a Monday - so no partiers or loud street noise. Convinient to Castro, $12 parking. For the money and location I'd recommend it.

this hotel needs alot of work, and has bugs and mildew in the room. Hotel needs ATTN

The hotel is in the midst of renovations. No curtains on the rooms. The lock did not work. I had to have hotel staff let me in my room with a pass key. p.s. They charge for parking at this hotel.

Well, where do I being. It was a very busy weekend in SF. (OCt 2-5) Lots of events going on so that may explain the youngish, immature crowd staying at the place that weekend. Folks have no respect for others. Lots of yelling, loud conversation and laughing at all hours of the night and early morning. I had the pleasure of waking up at 2:30am to the sound of a lover's spat complete with slamming doors and breaking glass....never once heard the manager come up to the room. This place has no security either. I think considering the location it is desperately needed. If I had a choice would never have stayed here. WIll never stay here again.

I've stayed at this hotel a couple of times for the conveinence of the location. They still don't have curtains. That makes me feel unsafe. The staff is nice, the guests seem to be a mix of shady people and tourists.

My advise: Don't go by yourself in the darkness (if you are a woman)... Take care! Hotel was ok, clean bathroom, but a lot of party-people - very loud till the late night (in september).

Spread was torn Arm of the chair was torn Stains in the inexpensive carpet very cheap/skimpy towels

Our room did not have curtains, instead they had nailed up a white sheet. The sheet did not keep the light out. There was a lot of night activity, people coming and going at all hours of the night. The room was had a very musky smell. I would not recommend this hotel

Hotel is a bit dated. If you are into SOMA or the Castro area- both are equal distance away and easily accessible. As far as the neighborhood, it's near a freeway exit and quite noisey. The staff is adequate- I didn't feel welcomed nor ignored. I will not stay here again as many people loitering in the open to the street layout.

When we arrived in SF we easily found the hotel and were able to check in. It is very centrally located and the room met our basic needs as we enjoyed the city. Be advised that they also charge a fee for parking you car in the lot. Great time to be in San Francisco.

The hotel was clean and basically what I expected for the price except for the fact that I could hear EVERYTHING!!! Example, someone in the room next to us went to the bathroom in the middle of the night and it sounded like they were in our room. If you are a heavy sleeper, than maybe it's OK but if you want to guarantee a good night's sleep, stay somewhere else.

Do NOT stay here EVER. Wouldn't even recommend to my enemies

this hotel was overpriced. i even had to pay for the parking... i reserved the room two days before and recieved the only room that was literally half the size of the other rooms, and in the shape of a triangle. the bed was size full. and the corner of the matress was about to touch the tv screen. the windows did not have any cutrains or nets from the outside. overnight i was bitten by an odd bug that made me swell up in the areas of the bites. overall, this hotel was not satisfactory. if your planning to go to san francisco to stay, get a hotel outside of downtown.

When I booked the room, there was no information that the hotel did not accept pets. I found this out when I checked in.

Pros: Location (close to SF Wharf) Nice shower Cons: Location (somewhat seedy looking neighborhood) They charge for parking One of the smallest hotel rooms I've ever stayed in

Had to pay extra for parking. Great central location to all districts. Only problem is that all the rooms are tiled, so if you on the 1st or 2nd floor you get to wake up early to the feet stomping above you.

The rooms have been painted and the curtains were down but that was explained at the front desk, The fan didn't work and the windows are only opened slightly so really no air could get in. You can't beat the price and although parking is 11$ that is a bargain in the Bay area and SF downtown.

Stayed here for two days, you definately get what you pay for. The location is great, although, the room was interesting to say the least. No curtains on the windows, just a sheet. The other guests in the hotel also tended to be a bit shady.

The worst hotel we have stayed in on a trip that encompassed over 40 hotels! Incedibly rude staff who treat all guests as if they were unworthy of staying, tried to put us into a room that had been painted only that day and the fumes were unbearable, were very difficult about us changing rooms despite the hotel not being full. The room had no air conditioning and was so hot we had to leave the door open for an hour to cool the room, despite the hotel being located in a neighborhood with a high concentration of vagrants, drunks and intimidating homeless people. Avoid this hotel if you at all can

From start to finish you can tell this hotel could have been run better by kids. We arrived at 8am, we got told to come back at 12noon to check in, they finally let us check in at 4.30pm. We then went to our room and it hadn't been cleaned yet so we had to wait outside for a further 30 minutes.We were not given room keys for this room so one of us had to stay in if one went out. We were put in a smoking room and we asked for non smoking, there was someone thumping around upstairs all night, we finally got to move rooms in the morning to a non smoking, and even though i was bent over in pain i was so ill, they would not let me partner pick up the room key, they made me get dressed and go to the front desk. We only styed there so long beacuse i was ill and could not move. a disaster of a stay, they wouldn't even lend me a breakfast bowl so i could try and eat some soup in my room. The manager was arrogant and useless, i was ripped off the amount we payed to stay there! To top it off the area is very dodgy and the cleaning staff have to pick up used needles from the parking lot. Not what you expect from a travel lodge. Don't stay!!

The staff at this hotel is very helpful and courteous, the rooms are very comfortable and reasonably priced, best of all it is very conveniently located, within walking distance of mostly everything you could walk to do and to BART/other forms of public transit. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone going to San Francisco.

One of the major reasons for booking this hotel was not just its location, but that it had off street parking available with the room reservation. Upon arrival this was no longer the case. This has been updated since, but it was an unexpected expense that deducted from our overall travel budget. The room itself was quite small, with a lot of things crammed into the space. This wasn't too bad, as we spent most of our time outside the hotel room, but it did make moving around in the room a little difficult. The king bed nearly touched both walls, there was only a fan and the window for ventilation, and there were renovations going on in adjacent units starting every day at 10am. No need for an alarm clock, a circular saw works just fine. Its an alright little place, but for the price, I'd go with another hotel in the price range that didn't charge for parking, and/or was a nicer room.

friendly staff safe and secure surroundings good maintenance maid sevice was excellent

there's proper hotel for persons who stay alone or just travel with easy way to downtown and do not want to stay at the hotel most of day. the room provide basic neccessities such as microwave oven and small refrigerator. there's no air condition but just fan and heater. the service is acceptable. the only benefit for this hotel is only cheaper than others hotel in this area and convenience to take the rail-train to the market street and Fisherman Wharf. if you are alone, would like to stay near market street, just stay to sleep and out to work or travel in the morning, I recommend it.

Compared to other hotels in the area, this one was a good bargain price wise. Seeing we didn't pay a lot for the room, I wasn't expecting much. I was presently surprised with the hotel over all. Previous Ratings are complaining that there is no air conditioning, well, since the weather in San Fran is 40 - 70, most establishments DON'T have air. So, for the location, no air is standard. The breakfast is Free, so what do you want? They had cereal, fruit and toast. The best part of this hotel was definitely price.. and location, Location, LOCATION! Couldn't of asked for anything more. On a side note, if coming from SFO, I would suggest you make arrangments for a shuttle. From airport to hotel cab was about $50! If you opt for the shuttle, it's $17 per person. You can call hotel and get more info. Happy Travels to all.

Three important things you should know about this hotel. 1) They charge $12/day for parking, and this charge is very hidden on the hotels.com website, though it is there 2) The rooms are unheated, and the only heat is a portable heater they can plug in that won't heat a room that they want to charge you $10/day for (but they didn't for me because I argued). 3) The rooms are under renovation and do not have window coverings. When I complained they said that window coverings were unnecessary and I should not care about that. They stapled a sheet to the window, which was unsatisfactory. It's very unfortunate. The hotel is actually very centrally situated and could be a good deal with more cleanliness, care, and heat, but it's not. It's a total nightmare experience hotel.

I stayed at this hotel knowing exactly what neighborhood it was in. I live near San Fransisco but wanted to stay for the night without spending too much. It is true that this hotel is in a bad neighborhood, however I was not bothered by anyone or anything during my stay. If you are looking for a cheap stay i recommend this hotel. I would request a room on the second or third floor, however, becuase the window and lock out of my first floor bathroom seemed a little shabby considering the neighborhood and street that was sitting right behind it. But, I didn't spend very much time in the room becuase there is so much to do downtown...so it serves as a perfect home base to crash at!

Staying in this hotel had to be one of the worst decisions we ever made and I wish we went to see it before we arrived in San Francisco. It was the worst nights sleep we've ever had as we were kept awake all night from sirens, car alarms, the comings and goings of druggies and prostitutes. The complimentary breakfast was dismal, most items had run out and never replaced. If you are looking for a cheap place to stay in the centre of town, then this may be an option. But don't expect to sleep!

Wireless= might as well not be there it's so painfully slow (i.e. dial up slow) service = rude interior is fine. definitely a 2 star place

You get what you pay for. Great location. Room was clean, but dated.
