Sleep Over Sauce

Great location, extremely clean, comfortable beds, breakfast foods available ²⁴⁄₇. Very quiet and inviting, felt like I was staying in someone’s house with a large meeting room with various sofas, etc. I would stay there again anytime. The lady that checked us in, was very professional and polite.

They made a mistake with billing and have been helpful getting it resolved. Nice rooms and good food downstairs

After staying at Sleep Over Sauce I don’t feel like it was worth the money. They certainly get you with the location, but even then you’ll need to drive/​über/​bus it to most of the sights. The hotel is very shabby. Dark and dirty. There are a few cute décor items like the bedspreads and pictures on the wall. It has the character of an old boarding house in the big city, dated with a very historic feel, but that’s the only thing I liked about it (well, that and the bar downstairs). It smells really bad, kind of like pee that someone tried to cover up with cheap air freshener. After we left, we stayed at a motel on the coast and my pajamas still smelled like the hotel – I had to douse them in perfume. No central heating/​air and even though it was in the low sixties outside our room was incredibly stuffy so we slept with the window open. It would have been fine if not for the construction noise that woke us up bright and early. There is zero parking, and when we tried to check in the loading zone was full of construction equipment, so we had to go find a parking lot which was $ 20 and lug our bags several blocks back to the hotel. Our stay was a little over $ 180 after tax for one night. So $ 200+ with parking… just not worth it. I know there are nicer places in the city for less so I’ll sleep over something else next time.

Staying here for the weekend while visiting from out of town. The location is actually really great, there’s a small grocery store right around the corner, otherwise there’s a liquor store down the block. There are places to eat and drink walking distance nearby as well.
I stayed in a standard queen bedroom, which was called Chinatown. Check in was actually really easy, Matt helped me out and explained everything to me. My room had a private bathroom which was nice. The room itself is kind of empty, no mini fridge, no closet, no iron board, etc. Also, the room can really only hold a few people or so at most in general. The best part of the room if you don’t care about not having all those other things is the bed itself. It’s actually really comfy. The blankets and sheets are nice. The room didn’t have a thermostat, but this weekend was cold and i was extremely comfortable while in my room. They provide shower soap and shampoo from a dispenser inside the shower. Water pressure is not bad just took a little bit to get warm. Never heard too much noise either from neighbors.
I would definitely come here again but like I said the room is a little empty. Also, it is a bit pricey as compared to other places I’ve stayed at that had more things but not as nice of a bed.

A friend recommended that I stay here for a girls weekend trip and it did not disappoint! I stayed in the Embarcadero Room, which had very comfortable beds (always important) with cozy sheets, big bathroom and shower (also with comfy, soft towels), all of which was very clean and tidy! The location is great too with a lot a cute shops close by. I walked down the street and found a cute nail salon, picked up a delicious sandwich next door since SAUCE didn’t open until 5pm but later that night went downstairs to SAUCE for appetizer and drinks with my friend before we headed out for the night. The food was yummy and service was great! There is also a «great room» down the hall from the bedrooms where they have a few quick breakfast options, and a big TV to watch on a big couch with more space to relax. Overall, it was a great weekend and I cannot wait to go back. The prices are very reasonable for such a central location!

My husband and I spent our wedding night here after getting married at City Hall and have no regrets! Being able to head upstairs after celebrating with our families downstairs at the restaurant was great. They even supplied a bottle of champagne! It was very comfortable and cozy.

Just went to SF for the first time for the weekend with my fiancé. I was very satisfied with our stay and would definitely recommend it for anyone. The room and detached bathroom were very clean and well maintained. Our room, «Mission» got pretty hot at night since there is no window, but I suppose that’s my only complaint. The food and drinks downstairs was excellent. A bit pricey but expected for our weekend vacation. Moscow Mules are on point.
Next street over is Octavia Street. It was probably our favorite street with cool coffee shops, a beirgarten, Smittens Ice Cream, and great food and shopping. Definitely felt more local driven which I really liked as well.
All in all SOS was a great weekend vacation and recommend it for anyone visiting.

Had a good stay. I only interacted in person with the person who checked us in and the housekeeper (no a bad thing). Previous to my stay I tried reaching a staff member and couldn’t for 90 minutes and when I did they were horribly rude. Including the owner. Most hotels won’t book a specific room until you get there (1 bed or two). Not HERE. So book accordingly and you may have a pleasant stay all around…
P. S. No rollout beds available and it’s a three story with some steep stairs if you have trouble with stairs.

My mom recommended this restaurant to celebrate my birthday after a quick browse on Open Table. If it wasn’t the hottest day in the city we would have had an even better dining experience. No air conditioning and very few windows to open to catch slight breezes made it quite warm inside. Nothing we could do about that so we managed.
The mac & cheese was flavorful, creamy and piping hot with little tastes of ham hock every few bites. The caesar salad was nice with tasty dressing and crunchy croutons. Two of us had the Chef’s Tasting Menu entrée of bacon wrapped butterfish and chipotle risotto with asparagus. Good! One of us had the fried chicken with mashed potatoes… very filling. One of us had the grilled salmon atop a bed spinach. It was good and could have been better if it came to the table hot. A bit lukewarm… The Orange Dreamsicle Shake was YUMMY! We might try to replicate the recipe at home, too.
Service was fine though a bit slow, which I attribute to try unseasonal heat and large dinner crowd. Worth another visit to sample more from the menu.

My Husband and I came to celebrate our 2 year Wedding anniversary in San Francisco! We arrived at the Sleep Over Sauce around 10:00 am. To our delight our room was ready! We were very impressed with our room! The bed was super comfy with plush sheets! The bamboo towels and spa like body wash in the bathroom was also fantastic! On our anniversary evening after dinner and drinks my husband and I took advantage of the 24hr. free continental breakfast with some coffee, and cereal and some sliders from the Sauce restaurant (bartender brought the food up to us!) We enjoyed our food while watching Looney Tunes on the tele in their HUGE common room! On our last day, our flight didn’t depart till 7:30 in the evening. Once again they accommodated us by storing our luggage so that we could come back for it at a later time so we could spend our last day enjoying more of the city! I would highly recommend this place to anyone who plans to visit San Francisco! Along with the superior hospitality it’s close to Union Square and bus stops to take you anywhere you want to go! I’m so glad I took my time and researched hotels (a lot) before booking! The name is what first caught my eye and the stay here captured my heart!

Found this place through Unilocal at last minute’s notice. The high Unilocal rating did not disappoint. Staff was professional, yet pleasant. Since it’s a small place, check in was quick. And since it’s an older place, the rooms are small (plus it is the city after all — don’t expect big rooms unless you want to pay $$$$). But everything was clean and in working order. The place is pleasantly decorated. What I really liked was the lounge with breakfast available all around the clock. It was nice to pad down to the lounge at 4 am when I suddenly realized that I hadn’t had dinner. I had a nice bowl of granola and some juice. I will definitely stay here again, and next time, I’ll plan in advance so that we can have time to have dinner down below. Note: some of the rooms do have their own bathroom. Our bathrooms were clean and modern.

Live a block away from this place and was always intrigued by the name. After a year we finally went in and it was amazing. The fried chicken and mashed potatoes were beyond words. Will definitely be back :)

I LOVE SLEEP OVER SAUCE! It was clean, lovely furnishings and beautiful bathroom. The continental breakfast was perfect and open 24 hrs! Now, I checked out reviews first so I was prepared for the stairs, no a/​c, and separated bathroom across the hall (but still our private bathroom) the room is very small but being in the city, we didn’t plan on being in the room much. For the price it was wonderful! My only complaint is the room we stayed in (the mission) did not have a window to the outside, so it got pretty hot and a bit stifling but did have a ceiling fan that helped a bit. Also, try Sauce downstairs we had a wonderful dinner there.

Good drinks before seeing a show nearby. Nice Civic Center adjacent location. Didn’t try the food but it looked good. Bartender was very helpful. Will be back!

Chose this inn based on Unilocal reviews and the price (about half the price of a nice hotel room in the city). Had a few concerns due to reports of noise and lack of hot water, but these were not a problem over our 6 night stay. Yes, the rooms are a bit small, but the huge common room makes up for that and is stocked ²⁴⁄₇ with fruit, cereal, juice and assorted breads for toasting. The inn was very clean and housekeeping was great and unobtrusive. The neighborhood is excellent, plenty of places nearby to eat and shop, several bus stops within a few blocks, BART station a short walk away. Would recommend to just about anyone looking for a unique and affordable place to stay in SF. However, be aware that there is no elevator, you must take stairs to the rooms.

They are alright! I like the feeling there! It feels warm once you go there and workers there are nice

Unilocal users, look elsewhere. This place is expensive and shabby. I actually wish I could give a 1.5 rather than a full 2 stars.
I stayed on a Friday and Saturday night and was pretty disappointed. They sent me an email asking for feedback just after my stay, and I responded honestly. I have posted here exactly what I wrote:
The location was wonderful, of course, and I liked the great room, but I don’t have much else positive to say considering the price. Nothing was terrible, but everything was shabby.
My boyfriend and I stayed in the Chinatown room, where the shower door wouldn’t stay closed and one of the linen drawers was broken. Invest in some water heater work so your guests can get a warm shower, some double-​pane windows so they can get some sleep, and maybe even some acoustic dampeners for inside, too. I heard every word the guests near me said and felt like I had to whisper the whole stay. More comfortable bedding would be good, too, and some paint touch-​ups. And do you think anyone would eat at Sauce if it smelled as musty as Sleep Over Sauce?
I think I read a review online somewhere about how staying in this style of inn was like crashing in an unreliable friend’s apartment. Maybe staying at Sleep Over Sauce was a little better than that, because at least I had privacy and a private bathroom, which I know aren’t guaranteed at a lot of places within the city. The unreliability thing rang true, though, as I pulled up to the building in the rain to unpack my bags and couldn’t use the designated area that I thought would be available. I expected to have to park in a garage, but I thought I would at least get to unload my bags first without circling the block for a half-​hour, and that was actually a reason I chose to book with you. It was nice to find out there would be water and coffee available 24/​7, except the morning I wanted both of those things, neither was available. I decided to make toast, but the toaster wouldn’t work.
All these things are small, and none of them ruined my lovely trip, but it was frustrating to watch my boyfriend’s face sink over and over again as each little thing failed. It was his birthday trip, and I paid upwards of $ 190 a night in an effort to stay somewhere special. Sleep Over Sauce was certainly not that.
On a positive note, your staff was polite in the couple of encounters I had, both during booking and the actual trip. Still, I came away feeling like I paid too much for a below-​average establishment. I won’t book again, but I hope you improve. I didn’t eat at Sauce, although it seemed nice — like it had class and high standards. You will, indeed, have something really special if you make the upstairs match the downstairs. With that location, you’ve got such an opportunity for something cool. Good luck.

Quant, cute, clean. Nice location and I loved the great room /​lounge area with breakfast amenities. Nice touches and thoughtfulness throughout the stay. Rooms are small and the bath is private but detached which isn’t a big deal to me. Price is on point. The only down side is parking. We ended up parking about 4 blocks away and had to haul around our heavy equipment through the city. Then when we got to the property there are lots of steps to haul your stuff up. If you stay at the sauce, I recommend you pack light.

My husband, my brother and his fiancée and I booked the «Bridge Suite» for the weekend of the SF marathon. We were a little bit put off by a couple of things in the way that you might be staying at a friend’s old apartment: «Oh my god, why didn’t anybody tell me you can’t flush the toilet while someone’s in the shower!?» or «Huh, these towels are a pretty meh brown color» kind of issues.
It was also a bit agitating that there was no regular desk presence, particularly when we came back from a morning of wandering to retrieve our bags from the luggage room and couldn’t find anyone to help.
That being said, the beds were incredibly comfy, the staff was pleasant, the great room was, well, pretty great, and the location was fantastic. It was way cheaper than our other options, save for some motels. We would happily stay there again, and if you’re okay feeling like you’re crashing at a sweet, but kind of flakey friend of a friend’s place, I’d say go for it.
As for «Sauce» itself, it was nice for drinks, but their small plates were really overpriced.

Stayed here Sunday through Tuesday.
Its situated on top of a restaurant with access from the street — the owner met us as we were trying to figure out how to get in. This part was a bit AirBnb-​weird, but not sketchy at all.
The owner took us upstairs and explained everything, and gave us a key and door code.
Everything was self-​serve as there was no front desk although the owner told us how to reach them for help. This might bother some people, but I’m pretty easy going having stayed in many a hostel during my travels. Just realize in SF you are going to pay for people manning a front desk.
On the main floor there is a small DIY office with a computer & printer and a decent sized common room with self-​serve coffee, tea, fruit & breads, couch, TV and plenty of room for 8 – 12 people to spread out. I loved this room — it felt like something right out of college.
The guest room was on the next floor (2 from the street) and was clean & cozy but small with an ensuite bathroom (some share a bathroom I think). Other then that is was just like any hotel room.
To my knowledge, there is no elevator so accessability would be an issue.
Free Wifi extended throughout the place seemed to be fast.
There is street parking but during the day you have to move your car into a lot.
This was annoying — unless you need a car, take transit, cab it or rent bikes.
