Dated but well maintained property with clean, comfortable no-frills rooms. The staff was first-rate, going above and beyond. They offered us a room away from Powell Street so we didn’t hear the cable cars going by, and accommodated all of our needs. Conveniently located equidistantly between Union Square and the Powell Street Muni station, there is an abundance of shopping, dining, and entertainment opportunities close by. We would definitely stay there again.

Location is perfect and super walkable. The bathroom wasn't the cleanest, there were several spots where I found hair in the tub, bathroom, floor etc, but not awful. We just cleaned it ourselves and went on about our trip. There originally wasn't a fan or mirror in our room despite the fan being included in our amenities and a mirror in all the photos. They immediately, without struggle, corrected the error and put us in the proper room. There was a fridge and coffee pot which was nice, as well as a desk and TV. Towels were only given upon request and you do have to go across the street, where you check in, to get them. Otherwise, there really wasn't much else. For the price we were able to book during a huge time of the year, I would 100% stay again. The staff was nice, the room was quiet and pleasant to stay in. We felt very very safe with the building and elevator only operating with a room key. Overall a great choice!

Rooms were comfortable, cleanliness could have been slightly better in the bathroom (upon arrival it seemed it needed a little more work, nothing major just small details) Staff was nice, nice building, great area close to public transportation, Union Square, lots of eating and shopping options. Overall a nice stay. Rooms were basic, but offer everything you could want. I would stay there again.

I liked being right at the beginning of the cable car line, it made the location very convenient for travelling around downtown and seeing all the touristy sights. The room was very clean, i had a top floor corner unit and enjoyed the 5 night stay, would reccomend for the price.

Only thing good about this Motel is the location. When you first arrive, there is a sign at the door instructing you to turn around and go to another hotel down the street to check in. There you are told that there is no staff on-site at the Herbert, no cleaning and no concierge. I walked back to the hotel and headed to my room. There was no fitted sheet on the bed, the mattress itself was dirty and covered in stains. The floors were uneven and the radiator leaked water out the bottom every time I used it. This Motel deserves 0 stars and potential guests should avoid unless you have a thing for staying in dumps like this one.

I love the location of the property for a hotel room it was decent. We were only using the room to sleep. I think the only thing I would want from the room is a mini fridge or an icemaker of some sort in the lounge area so that I could’ve had a cold drinks when I got back from visiting the city.
