 | Union Square Plaza Hotel: Unsatisfied

Overall, I was not satisfied with this hotel. I could think of more negative aspects than positives ones.
Positives:
1. Located in a prime location.
2. Staff are friendly and helpful.
Negatives:
1 Don’t let the lobby fool you into thinking this is a grand hotel. We were given a key – an actual key, not a card access key. The lock was flimsy.
2 Old building, floor creaks, crumbling walls, dim lighting. Resembles an apartment complex.
3. Stuffy room throughout stay, even with the windows open.
4. The carpeting is disgusting. Bring slippers/flip flops.
5. The bathroom area: There is an opening with mirror and a sink and then there’s a door that leads to a tub and the toilet. Some might like this setup. However, I did not.
6. Very little water pressure. It sprinkles. And it takes a while for the water to reach the desired temperature.
7. No complementary items, ie shampoo, conditioner, shower caps. There are towels however. No coffee pot/maker in your room - there's a pot downstairs in the lobby.
8. Pillows were tiny. Bring something that you don’t mind using as a makeshift pillow. The bed was a nightmare. It makes noises every time you sit up, turn over, move, or even move your head. I think the noise is from a plastic/ vinyl wrapped mattress.
9. As if the noise from the bed is not enough, it is extremely noisy outside. The room I was staying in faces the street, across from a theatre. You will hear traffic, by, cars honking, people screaming to each other, and sirens ALL night long. Good luck sleeping.
Given the choice, I would not stay at this hotel again. I should’ve paid more and stayed at nicer hotel. However, if you are a budgeted traveler and don’t mind all of the above, this is an option for you. But if you are looking for a hotel for a family vacation or even for business travelers, I suggest you pay the extra money for a nicer room. There are plenty of nicer looking hotels in the area.
It is located in a prime location, close to restaurants, bars, shops, sites and transportation. The Powell Bart/Muni train station is within walking distance; convenient bus stop down the street; cable cars ˝ a block away. There are a selection of restaurants surrounding the hotel and in area, so you will not starve.

What can I say. When I vacation, I don't spend time in the hotel except to sleep. So I don't really care how great it is.
I require working faucets, working lights, clean room, clean bedsheets, no bugs or rodents. The Union Square Plaza hotel provided all of these, along with a reliable elevator, for $50 a night. And it was a block from Union Square.
Not too bad.
The front lobby has a nice old Victorian look, which is probably authentic, judging from how old the building is. I guess they never redecorated. Theme: HotelPrice: US$40-80 » Currency ConverterComparison: less expensive than averageDirections: Across the American Conservatory Theatre on Geary
