The hotel is in the middle of Union Square near shopping, restaurants, and transportation options. It was quiet, safe, clean, comfortable, and we loved the large windows and high ceilings. It was perfect for our stay and we will definitely be back again.

This is a no frills hotel with no staff on site, no AC, no fan, and bathroom is not in unit but shared down the hall. The location was great and the room was comfortable but small.
William, 3-night trip

It was nice place to stay too many homeless people and way too many homosexuals. I will never go back to San Francisco

Thank you we enjoyed our time. We went across street to check in very easy no problem. 1st time no one was in lobby to greet us. Over all 8 out of 10 again. Thank you
cashinda, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

You have to check in at a different hotel for some reason we had no clue, a passerby told us. At the actual hotel there wasn’t any staff for our entire two night stay but they texted us to ask if we needed anything. The bed was super comfy and we had no trouble sleeping at night. Only complaint is the bathroom was so gross, there was hair everywhere and the shower didn’t drain…

The Herbert hotel was perfect for our one night stay. It was close to the rental car office and walkable to lots of shops and restaurants. The downside was there was no mini-fridge for our cold food. I did like that we felt safe with the locked key front door. It was quiet and clean.
Taylor, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

The hotel was what you'd expect for being in the heart of downtown in the Union Square area - it's not a super nice area so that makes it feel a little dirty/sketchy. And having to check in at another hotel was a little odd. The room was clean for the most part, besides the bathtub which was rusty and dirty. It was also odd not having any staff in the lobby during our whole stay.
Randy, 2-night trip
