1. And yes, the amenities are a little sparse (14' tv, older bathroom) but the condition is good, there weren't any 'holes' or 'cracks' that I would associate with an older hotel.

2. I did wear my ear plugs to drown out some traffic noise but overall it was a good experience.

5. Sure, the rooms are small, have old furniture, bland decor, and some of the carpeting looked worn, but everything was clean, the bed was comfortable, the shower had good water pressure, and you can`t beat the great location in Cole Valley, a quiet residential neighborhood near the light rail line.
