Travelodge Central

Definitely did not have the most pleasant experience. My husband and I came from out of town and checked in to this hotel and wanted to leave as soon as we got in the room. The room smelt old and musky. There was crumbs on the floor and the whole place just looked dirty. The walls were paper thin and you could hear the people next to you. We did not feel comfortable sleeping in the room, even if it was only for a night. We went back to the front office to get a refund and the employee did not want to give us a refund. We finally talked to the manager, whom at first also gave us a hard time because it had «already been an hour since we checked in.» After we raised an even bigger stink, he then walked us over to the room to check it out and see what we were complaining about. He then allowed us to have our full refund back, but had us wait at least an additional twenty minutes until we were able to get it. Based on this experience, we will NEVER stay at a Travelodge again! A complete waste of my time and energy. They only get two stars because we were given our money back. I wouldn’t recommend this place to any of my friends or family.

I would give this hotel Zero stars. I was charged for «smoking in the room» when no one smoked in the room. I was also charge a pet fee when I had a service dog. Which is illegal to charge for. The front desk was unprofessional and very sneaky. In the parking lot there was people offering drugs to me and my friends. Very sketchy at night. Would not recommend this place at all. There was also people fighting outside at night. Next time I’d rather pay in additional $ 20 to feel SAFE. Please be careful when staying at hotel because you might not only get screwed with the staff but also the people outside in the parking lot, bc they are too cheap for security!!! Be safe

RUN!!! We just arrived in SF booking this hotel in advance. The room cost us $ 153/​night over Memorial Day weekend in downtown SF. Hotel is surrounded by homeless people; dirty outside and the room, well awful, old, torn furniture and holes in the very thin blanket on the bed! We are scared linen might not be clean so much we took showers with flip flop on in the event there are germs! If you don’t mind all the above, it’s OK but we won’t be back !! We prefer pay a bit more for better hotel! If your going to use the toilet BEWARE the tank water goes on and on and on after one flush, noise so loud that we had to close the door if bathroom but since the walls are paper thin, we could still here it!
And if all the above wasn’t enough to change your mind in staying here; how’s about a homeless guy walking right into the breakfast room, grab a sweet roll and coffee, walks right out –all this in front of the hotel employee and he did nothing!!!

First let me start by saying that I wish I could give this place negative stars. This place is beyond horrible. The area is horrible, the atmosphere is horrible, and the room was horrible. During the day it looks like it wouldn’t be too bad but at night it’s completely different.
Please don’t book at this place!
After the first night we left and found a much better place for almost the same price. You’ve been warned.

The bed sucks. It’s smells like piss in front of the rooms. On top of that they charged us a $ 10 tax for the room? It was $ 79 for a room, $ 15 for parking and a $ 100 deposit. So we put down $ 190.90. We were supposed to get $ 100 back not $ 85. DO NOT COME HERE

I booked this hotel without reading the reviews and I was horrified. My boyfriend told me we’ll give it the benefit of the doubt and still go. We arrived at 6pm and checked in.
The parking place was okay, not as horrible as the previous reviews said. We’re only staying for one night so I was comfortable leaving my car there and pay the $ 15+tax fee. The homeless people around did not bother me that much since I have my car on steering wheel lock anyway, just to be safe.
The receptionist was a very kind man. He asked me to choose between 2^nd or 3^rd floor, and suggested to take the 3^rd floor room because it was more quiet. I couldn’t agree more! We slept like babies the whole night. No noises from neighbors, to think that we got back to the room at 2am after a night out. The only thing was the cleaning ladies were too noisy in the morning, they were talking so loud and banging the doors.
The room is no 5-​star hotel, you get what you pay for right? The bed was pretty big (weird size tbh). First thing I did was flip the sheets to check for bed bugs. It came with an outdated fridge, microwave, coffee maker and TV. The lights were really dimmed and the room was in ok temperature (didn’t even turn on heater or AC). The shower was okay, water wasn’t too cold contrary to reviews.
All in all, we were very satisfied with our stay. If you’re looking for a cheap hotel just to crash for a few hours at night, this hotel will do the job.

Lots of noise. Seems that there was a Pimp and a Hooker having a fight in the next room. «Give me my money, bitch» and «You can’t treat me that way» are two of the loud comments I heard through the wall. I didn’t realize that I had checked into the Hooker’s Hotel.
Second, how can you charge tax on a thing that doesn’t exist — parking? I realize that Parking is a charge in San Francisco, but it was never mentioned anywhere until I had to sign the agreement — surprise, surprise! And then the hotel taxed it on top of it. Yeah, whatever.
Also, I am not sure where the water heater is located, but guaranteed it is as far from our room as possible. It took about 15 minutes to get hot. My shower was over before the water got hot enough to use and not be cold.
Would only stay here again if I wanted a cheap hotel with good location. I wouldn’t recommend or stay here again for a good hotel, just convenient. Don’t want to listen to people banging on the Prostitute’s room door at 3am again waking me up.

Let me start off by saying that I always give places the benefit of the doubt.
Now, let me go on to say that this business is one of those that you do not want to give the benefit of the doubt. I first thought the reviews were a bit harsh, but once I stepped onto this property I was surely wrong. The motel is absolutely DISGUSTING. The building on the outside looks like a standard Travel Lodge, but the insides were disgusting. Moldy; floors coming apart; holes in the walls; windows open, but wouldn’t close; rats, hookers asking us to «party with them»; unruly staff, house keepers talked crap about customers in Spanish (which I completely understand fluently); BED BUGS; etc.
In a summed up sentence: THIS HOTEL IS A DUMP! I HIGHLY recommend you just spend the extra $ 100+ per night and just stay in a nicer hotel. I spent $ 700+ to stay here for a 4 day weekend with friends and I absolutely got my money back at the end of our stay after seeing two out of the four of us were covered in bedbug bites.
The manager at the property refused to talk to me about the issue and said I have to call corporate to file complaints. I threatened to call a lawyer regarding the issue and he just wouldn’t speak anymore and handed me a business card. I called, wrote letters, and talked to about 3 supervisors in corporate. I also reported the hotel to the San Francisco Department of Public Health to ensure the hotel is inspected and I also told
about it since I purchased the room through them. After about a week the actual owner of the Travel Lodge called me directly and said she was returning my money to
so they could return the money to me. The owner would not comment on my issues or concerns with the motel, but rather just told me I am getting a FULL refund and hung up.
They absolutely know this is an ongoing issue at this motel, but for some odd reason they are still in operation.
DOES NOT DESERVE 1 STAR

Bed bugs, HORRENDOUS staff. Such a big bug up their ass. Get a grip on life, it’s not that bad?

1. Bed Bugs
2. Lots of Crack heads
3. Pimps and hookers
4. Homeless people
5. Unprofessional lazy employees
6. Repeat
Also if you continously stay here because it’s «cheap». Please step into 2016, welcome to Airbnb.

Only 3 stars because we had to pay for parking ($ 17 I think). Other than that, our room was clean and we weren’t bothered in the night. Its a very convenient spot, and the price is right! The beds are really wide, like California king? Perfect (ish) for a boozy night in San Francisco with your two buds.

CAR BROKEN INTO. If you’re going to stay here, be aware of the fuckers who come here at night. Keep your belongings in the trunk or take it in with you. Our car window got smashed and all our stuff got stolen.
I would give this hotel 0 stars if I could.
The walls were paper thin, the rooms smelled like shit, the TV didn’t work.
If you’re looking for a cheap place, you’re probably going to pay more than you intended to.
The city is unforgiving.
Don’t come here!

This place isn’t even close to a one star. This place gives you a very unwelcoming vibe. Quiet scary, there are lots of homeless and drug addicts roaming around. I see a lot of drug addicts checking in. We were literally locked inside of our own room 210, the knob was messed up the door knob had prolly been messed with and broken into previously. Parking isn’t free. There are homeless people roaming the parking lot where you park your car. Beware.

The location is excellent, if you want kind of a cool night scene. However, I wouldn’t call this hotel or its surroundings safe. There were dishevled-​looking people that weren’t staying in the hotel walking around the outdoor passageways.
The room was clean, and everything worked. Well, the air conditioner didn’t work very well. Clean linens, clean scratchy towels, warm water when I showered at 7:30 but not 1030 the next day. It’s functional, but I definitely don’t recommend it for a family.
Parking is $ 15 a night, which isn’t that bad when compared to others. Nonetheless, parking was very hard to find at night. I did see a rat scurry by on the outside, and very many people complaining at the office desk worker, who was, to put it politely, all business.
This is an example of ‘you get what you pay for.’ San Francisco is a very expensive city, so if you’re going to get near Market Street and pay less than $ 200 this is what you’re going to get. Oh, and they don’t accept cash. That could give a clue as to the safety of the neighborhood.

STAY AWAY. This place is the lowest of the low. I didn’t trust my gut when my friend canceled our reservation at a hotel near union square, he said the price was cheaper, like 200 dollars per person cheaper, I said okay. It’s a travel lodge, I stayed at one in Burbank… It can’t be that bad right?!
WRONG. This doesn’t deserve one star. It deserves negative 10. It smells like smoke, the doors are rotted and barely close, all sorts of deplorable human beings are banging on doors asking for money, this place is also… wait for it.INFESTED. With bed bugs. I woke up COVERED in them. My hands were double the size and I had huge ones on my ankles.
Do not stay here. Ever. This is a disgusting waste of space. One would need to start a fire with DDT in order for all the bed bugs to die.

Well one night $ 125 or so … Location location location
That’s why I said yes and they let us check in early too.
The room was clean but old and outdated. The blankets were thin so they can clean them. Thiers easy access to for grocery.

This place is trash and the workers that work here are too. DO NOT STAY HERE! I repeat, DO NOT STAY HERE!!! There is nothing positive about this place whatsoever. I feel cheated out of my money so badly

DO NOT STAY HERE!
When we arrived the service was horrible, very rude. We booked our suite and left for the day, when we came back at night the place had no parking and was full of very noisy freshmen with drinks and food out in every hallway. We walked to our $ 400/​night room to find POOP smeared on the wall. The room was literally just a 18′ by 18′ square with two beds and a BROKEN couch. Please do yourself a favor and don’t stay here, I wish I’d read the other reviews before buying a room here.

Can I rate with a negative star? Upon arrival I opened the car door and almost stepped on a used syringe. There is a sign on the elevator about chemicals known to cause reproductive harm. The room was very small, the bed was uncomfortable and I was afraid of bedbugs but couldn’t check because the mattress was enveloped in a bag of some sort. There were 2 homeless people with their carts full of stuff in the parking lot.
I walked out and found alternative lodging.

This place is disgusting! We came in Friday and the place looked shifty with people yelling outside. The beds inside the rooms had ROACHES inside of them along side bedbugs. The floors were so dirty I had walk around with my shoes on the whole time.
When I asked the front desk to help that night, they did nothing about it and told me to call the manager on Monday. The next morning when I told the cleaning lady about the bugs she just laughed and asked for proof, which I had, some bugs I was able to kill in a cup. She took them away and scoffed until I told her I already took a picture of them and she scowled at me and walked away. I refused to stay any longer and just left cutting my trip short.
I have never been so disgusted by a place in all my life.
NEVER EVER STAY HERE. THE SERVICE SUCKS AND THE PEOPLE ARE HORRIBLE. THE BEDS WILL LEAVE TOY WITH BEDBUG BITES!
Place should be burned down!
