Luz Hotel

  : Hotel is lead by and excellent manager, communication was swift and always to the point, all special requirements (late check-in, bag keeping for extended time) were answered promptly and to my highest satisfaction.Overall it was a great value for the price for a short one-person sleepover where you actually do not need a private bathroom at all (and it was never an issue to find an empty restroom or shower in the hotel at pretty much any given time). And you get a bathrobe, so you really can walk to the shared shower in full comfort!
  : The hotel equipment has seen better days. Walls seem to be wavy from decades worth of plaster from previous renovations, but nothing is falling off or crumbling, you just get some 20th century vibe, while looking at that.Tenderloin is a bit of a sketchy place, especially late in the evening, but you can see a lot of crazy things and people in plain daylight as well... However, I have definitely been to significantly worse places where I was more afraid for my valuables and maybe life, so I do not want to paint is so dark as some of the others do. The only possible downside for some may be that the hotel is located in one of the side-streets, good 13 min. walk from Market St.I mean you can still go around safely, as the people of late-night Tenderloin do not actually approach you. Yes, you can still get the "Hey brother, how you doing?" questions from them, and it may be a good idea to answer them politely, but not interact much more. – But one thing you can be sure, do not walk around in your Prada, D&G, LV, Rolexes, ... around, this is not a great place to show off, keep that to Embarcadero, and maybe not even to there...

  : Of course, the value was the best deal about this hotel, being in a great location: Walk to Union Square, SFMOA, and theatres.
  : Being an older property, the place is worse for wear.
