Reviews
Great little quaint hotel. Very small rooms but if you’re there for a short stay, you have everything you need. I would NOT recommend staying in the Tenderloin neighborhood though 😂 you’re getting exactly what you paid for; don’t go out at night and keep your belongings close during the day. Theres no parking so I’d think twice about renting a car. It’s not really necessary though; everything is walkable. Just watch out for human feces when you’re walking. Other than that, I enjoyed my short stay!
Cozy little hotel, hard to miss if not paying attention. Rooms were adequate, very near and tidy. Sucks our room was next to the ice machine 😵💫 kept waking us up in the middle of the night when someone wanted ice. The neighborhood is a little sketchy, just have to be aware of the homeless around the area. Other than that, it was a chill stay.
Really rough area, lots of homeless, Drug users and unsafe to leave hotel in the evenings. The hotel itself was clean, comfortable and had everything you need. Staff were helpful and breakfast was perfect for the price and convenience. The buses outside was perfect and stopped at the fisherwarf! Free tea, coffee, ice machine and microwave...would recommend bread and butter on polk Street for sandwiches and everything you need.
My experience with this hotel was excellent. Pros: Great price, location, free water, free coffee, free breakfast, free luggage hold, cute touch on its interior. Cons: Noise. Compact. The hotel offers a lot of goods for the price. Walking in here, I was not expecting the place to be like Ritz-Carlton. However, when comparing to hotels with similar price point, I could see that this hotel really tries to maximize every benefit that they can control. It was pretty noisy but the hotel cannot control that factor.
Solo Traveler - Often travel for work, spent a night off work and stayed at Hotel Epik The room was good enough for me, would be a little tight for more than one person but manageable for two. Comfy beds and bath soaps provided. I was able to check in early and leave my luggage after checking out, with no additional charge - at least for the day I stayed Espresso machine in the lobby was delicious and saved me on lattes!! Great walkable location to multiple areas of town. There are some unhoused nearby but I didn't have an issue when walking through. Lots of good food spots and bus stops nearby.
