Good for the price
In/near Union Square. Clean enough. Not hotel/pristine clean, but clean like you friend's grandmother's house. Needs new carpet and a new paint job. Staff were really great and competent. The rooms are indeed tiny, and you should bring ear plugs if you get a hotel facing the street, because the windows are thin. Overall, definitely got what I paid for. Homeless people are outside, but the area is safe. Union Square (nice, safe) is right next to Tenderloin (not so nice/safe), so homeless people are throughout Union Square. So expect some panhandling no matter where you stay in Union Square.
