1) These people will play you for your hard earned money! I went in to inquire about a room and if one was available to be rented out to me MONTHLY. Galo (the manager) was very slick at persuading me that I could rent out the room monthly, I would have to first prove that i could pay the rent each week first. (On average $ 200-​$ 250 a week.) Here is how Galo got me. I was told to fill out an application, and pay $ 286 and I would receive the keys. I paid and received the keys, but what Galo failed to explain to me is that the application would not be processed until after 2 weeks. (Normally you get approved before you move into any Hotel or Apartment) The 2 weeks went by and I was notified that i would have to move out of hotel and couldn’t pay monthly because I didn’t meet the financial requirements. (Here is some more extra BULLSHIT) The time that i moved in and paid on time every week, and didnt miss a week you tell me that i dont meet the financial requirements, not only that, I had my parents pay for the place and they have MONEY $$$$$!!! So, WFT Galo. That is how they will get you. You pay and pay, then force to move out!
2) The room was ok, but needed a personal touch to it. I had to complain to them about the bed-​bugs and roaches that was living there before i arrive. The heater in the room that runs off of gas, just fell to the floor and I didn’t know if i was gonna die of Gas Fumes. Plus the people who do live there that are paying monthly are all hobos and drug addicts, I literally was the only sane person that WAS staying there. I wonder how they meet the financial requirement???
3) When I tried to resolve this issue in a kindly manner to understand why. They just said sorry without any explanation! Which really sucks, because now I am a homeless employee-​student-​entrepreneur. (I work, go to school, and working toward building my own business.)
4) Don’t waist your time nor money. It’s really not worth it. I only give them one (1) star (*) because i can’t rate them by giving them what they truly desire which is zero (0) stars.
P. S. Please take heed!!!

This is a Residential Hotel.
The rooms are typically rented weekly. The rate is usually $ 200– $ 250, depending on the type of room. Rooms with windows facing the street are at the higher end. Some rooms include bathrooms, however most of them do not.
There is a full time house keeping staff as well as a friendly maintenance man. Rooms are cleaned once and week, and the shared facilities are cleaned daily. However the bathrooms are awful. There are also some overall aesthetic issues.
Compared to other residential hotels at this rate The Harcourt is nice. With some love and care a room in The Harcourt could be an affordable cozy oasis in the city.

I have lived in this SRO for several years and find it to be a good place to be. Great neighborhood with many good/​some great restaurants. Close to Union Square. Really good public transportation.

I HATE THIS HOTEL ¡!!! It is disgusting and the people are rude rude rude. I rented one of their «nicer» rooms and it was super disgusting for 250.00 a week.
The entire SRO scene is gross but this hotel is a true shit hole. I wouldn’t pee on it its so disgusting. The peoploe at the front desk are real jerks-​offs too but the maid is super cute and super nice. She does a really good job and is a total sweet

One of the desk clerks who works at night is «cute»??? I don’t thinkso, that guy is an A – hole!!! Although once you get to know him he’s okay I guess, but not the nicest person I’ve dealt with. The other desk clerks are super nice tho.
I stayed there about 5 months ago and it was mediocre. Alot better than other places in that surrounding area (100 times better than the awful Sutter-​Larkin Inn just across the street), but some of the people living there are most of the time nice, but I do agree some of the druggies are just creepy.
First room I was in was on the 3^rd floor and while it was clean, I did see a bedbug there. Second room I had was on the 4^th floor and it was very clean… no bedbugs but I’ve seen some roaches there. Some people who hangout in the community room are real dorks tho, some are super sweet. I accidently blew something up in the microwave one night and this guy was being a real curmudgeon about it. Sorrrry!
I would rate this 3 stars if it was’nt for certain things that really annoyed me. Such as the noise, this is a very noisy hotel. You take a gamble with getting a room tho, which is why I advise to checkout more than one room. I did not see any poop on the floor while I was there thank gawd lol. Also their internet Wi-​Fi is’nt that great and the community room is rather plain. It’s like as if the owner of the hotel only cares to take people’s money and not really improve the place.
This is NOT a cheap place to stay at either. $ 240 – 270 USD a week is rather expensive. I would stay there again if I had to but best to stay away and look for a better place.

G… R…O…S…S… just GROSS, the bathrooms are super clean because of the adorable lil maid (she so cute!!) and the clerks are really nice, there’s a really cute one that works at night but thats it.
The very first room I checked out had poop on the floor (honest to holy God, POOP!!) Finally when I got my room it was the only clean one, and then I went to walgreens and re-​cleaned to make sure. but no bedbugs, yes one or two roaches, really bad wall décor, the people who stay here are some colorful looking characters but they are really nice. It’s just the druggies who stay here.
You might be playing chance with a room here. so if you can find something else take it but if not ummm… just try anyways. :/

This place is what it is.
There is a reason why its so cheap.
People seem to mind their own here and a room with a private bath is definitely the way to go.
Its a fine place to stay for the price.

So I was homeless when I moved to SF. so my bf of the time and I stayed there for a week. We snuck our dog in (haha) and he found a meth pipe in the bathroom. The towels didn’t match. It was extremely stanky. There are live ins who keep their doors open in the underware while they watch the news. The TV antenna was broken. Outside our window were hella trannies yelling things at eachother. The vending machine did have gardetto’s though. and wifi in the lobby. And the people who work the front desk were all nice. The elevator is shady, some people would hold it open for a half hour at a time while they talked to eachother about politics in the arm pit stained wife beaters. The secret to that place is the roof. I smoked hella blunts and ciggs up there. Great view of the oh so luxurious TL too. I can’t complain too much because we were able to stay there for 2 weeks and they people who worked there really helped us out. For the TL and not having to be homeless anymore it worked out. However my car was parked a block away and it got broken into. not so cool.

I have decided to retract my rating for the Harcourt. Recent feedback I’ve received and a video I saw about the «new» staff at the Harcourt was way too unsettling for me to give my props any longer. Apparently, there has been a change in management and things have gone way downhill. What a shame. I really enjoyed the Harcourt of 2005 when I lived there for a year.

I have a friend who lived here from 2006 until May 2008. The management changed back in February and was too much for him to stand. There are roaches in the rooms, trannies working the corner outside and illegal room searches. What used to be a great place for non-​contract living has turned into yet another stereotypical Tenderloin/​Polk slum. The desk clerks are not helpful and rude, the elevator is frequently broken and drunks/​crazy people frequently loiter in the waiting area. There are an abundance of non-​contract hotels within blocks of this shithole, so do your homework and skip this place.

At this point I don’t think I can rate the Harcourt Hotel. It’s been a great hold out place to stay; they take pets. and it’s cheap. The people were nice, and it was relatively clean. That is until the management changed.
Now, we’ve had illegal entries into our room, and the desk staff has grown truly hostile. The video will be posted on YouTube later today. And the security door remains locked, with no one to let you in.
Until recently I wouldn’t have used the word slum. Here and now, I will. The Harcourt Hotel, since the recent management change, has turned into a slum hotel.
