This place is a no frills, budge alternative in an expensive city. Its immediate neighborhood is a mixed bag, but it is not far from numerous key locations (city hall, Van Ness, Union Square, Nob Hill, Pacific Heights, etc.) and has good restaurants close by. There's lots of bus routes near by so it's easy to get where you are... More

Hotel is nice, but its cheap for a reason. Walls are very thin so if you are a light sleeper you shouldn't stay here. We heard a baby crying even though it was on a different floor. We had to change rooms but could still hear it. Office staff is hit and miss but cleaning staff are great and the... More

I stayed for a week at the Encore Express in February, 2013. I liked the location. It is located in what is called Tendernob – on the border of the Tenderloin/Nob Hill neighborhoods. There are lots of ethnic restaurants on the adjacent Polk and Van Ness streets. But the best aspect of the location for me was that it is... More

Good stay! Cheap and the standard was good accordingly. A bit sceptical to sharing baths, but worked out pretty good. Only thing that was annoying was thin walls (some idoit was watching TV all night) and band practices which is in the building, and ongoing for early till late.

The hotel is in the center but there is no parking. Our car was towed away. The rooms are clean and the price per night is cheap, but you have to share the bath and restroom with all other guests. Some rooms overlook to inner yeard.

Saw a mouse run across my room. Still made me pay, claiming since there is food in the hotel you will get mice. How about you maintain and clean once in awhile. Wort place I have ever styled at in my entire life. No parking, no bathrooms in the rooms either.

I stayed for 5 nights in a queen room on the 2nd floor. It has a small fridge, a sink, and a tv. The room was clean and comfortable, and when it got too cold the staff happily supplied me with a heater. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. The only thing that would improve the place would be... More
