Page Hotel — Hotel in San Francisco

I'll be honest, by most conventional standards, this place doesn't deserve the four stars I've awarded them. However, everything is relative, right?

That said, the Page Hotel is consistently the least expensive hotel of it's kind in it's area - for a room in the $50 range (that's $43 plus tax, if memory serves) without a required deposit, it's a steal. Sure, you have a few problems ... to be expected for the price, though. However, there's really nothing significant - minor cockroaches in some rooms, the place could be cleaner and slightly better repaired (fresh paint, repair furniture, replace towel hooks, etc - those kind of things). Note I have yet to see problems involving ... certain types of bugs not to be named. And that is very important in low-priced rentals of any type.

The main problem now - availability. Since I've told everyone I know how good of a value it is, the place sells out fairly early in the day (okay maybe it's not solely due to my word of mouth, but I'm taking credit for it anyway). So you have to book in advance or rent fairly early to get a room. Seems like they could get away with raising the rates a little bit, but let's not tell them.

p.s. I almost forgot to mention one concerni did have about this place - staff. For the most part, they're really great. However, from time to time it will seem like they're not being company honest when claiming...

You can't expect much for the price $50 honestly and that is what you get here the room I stayed in hadn't been cleaned there was a dirty needle in the drawer and cockroaches I spent more money trying to clean and sanitize and buying my own sheets and blankets and mattress cover to put over everything before I put my sheets on. I had to buy a mat for the shared bathroom shower and bulk size lysol and cleaning wipes and spray before I could use it. No microwave or fridge in the room or anywhere in the hotel. It is in a very bad part of the tenderloin. Now as for the staff they are all great and super helpful well all besides the person who works the graveyard shift at the desk that person (not sure if it is a man or a woman I honestly couldn't tell at all even after multiple interactions) is VERY unfriendly and rude. But I only have positive things to say about all the other people who work there but the people is the only ok thing...

Terrible. This place is NOT. A hotel. It is a hostel. There is a communal bathroom, which was surprisingly - clean isn't the right word - maybe "blood-less, at least visibly" is more accurate. Anyway, there was cockroaches, the room had a bed and a TV that only showed static, there was a sink and a roll of toilet paper came with the room. There was no climate control - which was ok, except for the drug deals, the pan handling, the random crying and waking up in the middle of the 2nd night there to the sound of a what sounded like a fight, a stabbing and someone begging for their life, and then wailing for hours. No room phone, cell with no service in the building, Wi-Fi worked as well as wishing and no desire to go outside for reasons I hope others will understand... So, obviously, leaving the window open to help stay cool was less of an option. The area is dirty, ugly, unsafe &...
