3. disgusting place to stay , smelly , unclean , the manager was just sleezy ,I was looking for a good value place to stay in San Francisco the Taylor Hotel advertised itself on the internet as a cheap alternative to hostels and I booked a private room there , when I got there I immediately realized what a mistake I had made , it was filthy and smelly, I figured I would stay the first night and cancel the remainining nights, but the manager tells me I have to pay for all 5 nights even if I leave and he did try to charge but I stopped the payment by calling by credit card company.
