This is the most disgusting apartment I have ever stayed in. It's so poorly kept and there has been ZERO attempt to clean it. Even when complaining they do the absolute bare minimum to fix anything. Please book anything else this place is disgusting. Some photos for example ### Michael Pierce a week ago · 4.0/5 Decent for what it is. Good location and relatively quiet. We had 2 queens and our own bathroom/shower. Unstaffed, essentially, but not a problem on our end, and we even had an issue with the room which was resolved. ### Kristina Esteban 2 weeks ago · 2.0/5 Pro: centrally located to transport and main attractions. Cons: disappointing standards. Yes, the hotel is on the cheaper side, not the cheapest in the area. You need to check in with the sister hotel nearby - my guess is to save staffing costs. Not the biggest hassle. Room very tired. Broken power sockets (dangerous), stained towels, broken lights, rickety bed. Not cleaned adequately (hairs from previous guest in bathroom). Shampoo and conditioner watered down (bring your own). Weird small square pillows. There is a connecting door to another room - you’ll probably need to ask the other guests to be quiet (unless you are the noisy ones). I wrote to the hotel about the serious safety concerns with no reply. ## Similar listings - [Hayes Valley Inn](https://soccertravelhub.com/listing/hayes-valley-inn/) - [Timbri Hotel San Francisco, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://soccertravelhub.com/listing/timbri-hotel-san-francisco-curio-collection-by-hilton/) - [San Francisco Marriott Union Square](https://soccertravelhub.com/listing/san-francisco-marriott-union-square/) - [Winsor Hotel](https://soccertravelhub.com/listing/winsor-hotel/) - [Hotel Fusion](https://soccertravelhub.com/listing/hotel-fusion/) - [Nob Hill Hotel](https://soccertravelhub.com/listing/nob-hill-hotel/) ## Nearby listings - [Handlery Union Square Hotel](https://soccertravelhub.com/listing/handlery-union-square-hotel/) — 0.1 km - [Bposhtels San Francisco](https://soccertravelhub.com/listing/bposhtels-san-francisco/) — 0.2 km - [Chancellor Hotel on Union Square](https://soccertravelhub.com/listing/chancellor-hotel-on-union-square/) — 0.3 km - [Tilden Hotel](https://soccertravelhub.com/listing/tilden-hotel/) — 0.3 km - [Hotel Zetta San Francisco](https://soccertravelhub.com/listing/hotel-zetta-san-francisco/) — 0.3 km - [Super 8 by Wyndham San Francisco/Union Square Area](https://soccertravelhub.com/listing/super-8-by-wyndham-san-francisco-union-square-area/) — 0.3 km ## Images ![](https://soccertravelhub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/the-herbert-hotel-1.jpg) ![](https://soccertravelhub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/the-herbert-hotel-2.jpg) ![](https://soccertravelhub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/the-herbert-hotel-3.jpg) ![](https://soccertravelhub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/the-herbert-hotel-4.jpg) ![](https://soccertravelhub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/the-herbert-hotel-5.jpg) ![](https://soccertravelhub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/the-herbert-hotel-6.jpg) ![](https://soccertravelhub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/the-herbert-hotel-7.jpg) ![](https://soccertravelhub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/the-herbert-hotel-8.jpg) ![](https://soccertravelhub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/the-herbert-hotel-9.jpg) ![](https://soccertravelhub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/the-herbert-hotel-10.jpg)
