San Fco Downton my first time, that’s bad , No AC in the room , so you need open the windows to refresh, but the noise of the homeless can’t let you relax.

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!

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.

Nice. Comfortable. Clean
Its a nice family run hotel but they hit your card for $250 and you're screwed until they reverse it... Most people staying at budget hotels don't have that extra money for a few days However it's one of the nicer budget hotels but that's Unreasonable, so be aware they charge and reverse $250 for 1 night

10/10 Exceptional

When I read other reviews I was concerned about the location because homeless can be a wild card in these situations. But the area was well monitored by police. Now for the service, they were absolute sweethearts, they told me where I should go to walk around and asked me to be safe. I had to leave late at night and since you have to be buzzed on I asked how it was going to work and they explained it was fine that someone will be up to let me in, but as I left they expressed their concern about where I was parked and even told me that the parking lots usually close after 11. (I didn't know that and was very thankful for that) When I got back they definitely were up and buzzed me in with no problem. The hotel is charming, I got a one bed and it was exactly what I needed nothing fancy but it came with bed tv closet and a sink-all very clean and tidy (oh and they have a shared bathroom in the hallway). These people taking care of the hotel were very nice and caring. There is a $250 deposit but truly if you just need a place to rest, perfectly fine to use this place.

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.
