The Mosser Hotel

Mosser employees and their friends will climb onto your fire escape to look into your bedroom window and watch your girlfriend change clothes. I confronted them and they ran away –
They still haven’t apologized to her or made any amends to the situation.

I’ve stayed here a few times (thank you Hotel Tonight) and it’s the perfect hotel for a last minute cheap stay in the city.
Hotel is in the perfect location (downtown SF). The rooms are tiny but they have everything you need (bed, and bathroom). The rooms are cute and look renovated but again they are tiny, but they serve their purpose.
The front desk has always provided excellent customer service when i’m checking in and checking out.
I would def stay here again if I need to book a last minute stay in the city (and if the price is right).

While the only downside is the shared shower and bathroom, this hotel was a great deal. I purchased a deal through Groupon. The room was small, with room for a bed and luggage, and had a closet and a sink. The hotel was warm so there was a fan and ample lighting in the room.
The shared shower and bathroom was not a big deal, as you would rarely run into someone else wanting to use it at the same time, and the staff does a great job keeping it clean. The gross part is the individual restroom; it was a small room with just the toilet and hand sanitizer, so you would have to wipe with one hand and use the other hand to exit and get your key card to get into your room to wash your hands.
Check in/​out was very easy and there were complimentary coffee and muffins every morning. I believed this hotel to be a great experience and a great deal because of its amazing location. How much time can you expect to spend at a hotel when there’s so much to see in SF? I was very happy we chose The Mosser for our stay in San Francisco. We will definitely consider staying here again!

I think this hotel offers a good deal (you can find them on the internet). I wouldn’t pay full price to stay here. It is in an ideal location near Powell and Union Square. The elevator is really slow and a pain to wait for, especially if your room is in the upper floors. The room is big enough for a queen bed and a sink. They do offer soap, shampoo, towels, even bathrobes. There is a hair dryer and iron. You have to use the toilet in the hallway. You don’t need a card to get in. You do need your card to get into the shower. I don’t really like sharing shower and toilet at a hotel, but it’s not the worst thing in the world because it’s pretty clean. The toilets did not flush completely on the first try and then you can’t flush again immediately. The lights in the shower and toilet room will shut off if you do not select the right amount of time. The bed and linens are tidy and clean (no bed bugs here). The breakfast they offer includes decaf and caffeinated coffee and muffins (that aren’t good). There is a restaurant called The Keystone next door and it’s pretty good (modern and professional).

There shared bathrooms are small, small rooms you can hear everything, shared showers make sure you know if you getting a private or shared room I wasn’t unsatisfied because I did not check if it had private or shared bathrooms I don’t even know such thing existed paid $ 150 on

I stayed at the Mosser this past week, and I was very pleasantly surprised. The rooms are obviously small, but they have everything you need and are layed out well. They even provided earplugs, which was nice for the last two nights of my stay when my neighbors decided to get drunk and knock loudly on each other’s doors. I was apprehensive about the shared bathroom idea, but they were always free when I needed them, and they were remarkably clean! Aside from the loud neighbors (not the hotel’s fault), the only downside was the shower pressure. It seems like a weird complaint, but it was pretty bad. I think I still have shampoo in my hair. Overall, I’d definitely stay here again.

I really enjoyed this place! The staff was extremely cordial and helpful. Melissa at concierge was especially great with upgrading my room to a suite at the last minute as we had one more guest with us. This place is not only unique and nicely updated, it’s located right in the heart of downtown where everything is happening– we were walking distance to all of the places we wanted to go and the rates were extremely reasonable. I will definitely be back :)

I stayed here with my boyfriend for a night in town and I was surprised how nice and neat everything was. We had an end (of hall) room, it was perfect size for the two of us, the bathroom appeared clean. very important! There was quite a bit of street noise over night but that was expected, and while I didn’t use them, there were earplugs available in the room.

So there’s good and bad and the in between.
Good, this place has a lot of character and you can tell it’s been newly painted, refurbished, new beds etc. There’s been a lot of thought put into its décor. The staff seem friendly and were always helpful. The hotel is well placed right by Market street, walking distance from shopping, Union Square and Chinatown.
The bad. It’s basically a upscale dorm room. The rooms are tiny, very tiny. You open the door and practically hit the bed with the door. We had a shared bathroom room (there are rooms with bathrooms included). There is one gender specific bathroom on each floor and several bath/​shower although only one has a sign telling you so (look for doors without numbers but hotel scan locks-that’s how we found second shower). The bathrooms were very clean but the bad thing about the toilet rooms, no sinks, which means everyone who uses it, can’t wash their hands til they get back to their room. At least a hand sanitizer dispenser would be good since there is no way a sink would fit in there. Next, the walls are thin, very thin. It’s loud and there is a window over the door to the hallway which let’s in a lot of light at night.
The in between. The hotel provides ear plugs to help out with the noise (I’m serious) and the coffee is good but don’t count on the muffins being filling enough to serve as breakfast (they are tiny– eat at The Grove or Corner Bakery a few blocks away).
Overall this is a good place for couples or singles but I would definitely recommend against it for families.

What is this place??? Front woman was rude. Tiny rooms. Floor restrooms and showers. The weirdest thing is that you use the restroom down the hall but have to walk back to your room to wash your hands. WHAT. Valet is 50 a night and the streets are scary covered in people yelling at you. Really disappointed in my stay.
The only good thing about the place is they have a ceiling fan.

I grabbed a Groupon deal in February for a one-​night stay and it was about what I expected. Service was fine and valet parking worked fine. My room was quite small and cramped, with a tiny shower and sink across the room from the bathroom, but it was clean and it wasn’t a shared bathroom. The room was unfortunately above a bar that was next to the hotel and it was fairly loud, though it did die down early on a Friday night. Complimentary breakfast consists of coffee and tiny muffins.
It’s an okay place for a quick one-​night stay since it’s clean, but the rooms are very small and cramped and I highly doubt I’d stay here again.

I had to stay in SF the night after the Super Bowl with about a week heads up. F&*$ I thought to myself. I didn’t want to destroy my wallet.
I found the Mosser Hotel for a competitive price and was relieved!
When I arrived, I THEN learned that the room included a bed and a sink but had a shower room that was shared by all the rooms on each floor! I was a little off-​put but when I packed up a bag to change into to take a shower, I realized it was not bad at all. And for the price, I was happy to forgo an in-​room shower to not spend an extra $ 100 a night in the insanity that is the hotel market in downtown SF.
Also, they let me camp out in the lobby and suck up wifi and power while I worked remotely for several hours.
Overall, it was a very positive experience. If you don’t want to spend an arm and a leg on a hotel and do not plan on being in your hotel room during the day, this is a really competetive option.

Older quaint hotel. Great location. Great price. Javon checked me in and was very polite and helpful. He recommended Breda’s Café and so do I. The rooms are tiny but who comes to SF to hangout in a hotel room? The room was clean and had the necessary amenities to include ear plugs as the city can be loud at times. Bed was comfortable. The furnishings were updated and in good condition. I would definitely stay here again.

For the price and location, I can’t complain much about the hotel. Valet was a little confusing since it was all taken up by ubers/​taxis/​etc?
Room was pretty darn small, didn’t realize this was a «hostel» style hotel. But I had the ensuite which was nice enough. Sink was outside the bathroom. Shower had immediate hot water.
My main qualm was the AC and bed. Couldn’t really get comfortable, swung between too hot and too cold. And the double bed was just lumpy? My husband and I didn’t sleep that well, we both woke up exhausted.

It’s a great hotel for the price, but way too small for me and my friend. The building is a bit old and has a strange smell in the halls and rooms. I reserved a room with a private bathroom because I didn’t want to walk down the hall hauling clothes and toiletries. What makes it nice is the fact that it’s right in the heart of downtown SF. There’s a Target and Walgreens around the corner, as well as retail stores and restaurants. While I took a small nap, my friend easily went out and did a little shopping and exploring. It’s also located near the subway station and bus stop.
Despite the weird smell and small space, I wouldn’t mind staying here again.

This hotel is a hidden gem, affordable and you really can’t beat the location:
PRO:
–less than a block away from market st. 5 min. to union square
–parking structure on 5^th and mission, $ 33 daily rate
–walking distance to westfield mall
–24hr denny’s around the corner
–liquor store around the corner [double points]
–curbside loading
–bed fan
–reading lights
–FREE WIFI
CONS:
–yes communal showers/​bathrooms.
I had a very pleasant experience staying here. I booked this hotel, since I was doing the Nike Half [starting line is at union square] so it really paid off since the race start time was at 6:30 am. i woke up, got ready and didn’t have to get an über/​taxi to get to where i needed to go and got to sleep in an extra little bit too! :)
I got to the hotel a little bit earlier like 2:30PM [check in time is 3PM] they upgraded me to a room with a bathroom perfect!
I will say the room was small but in a good way! specially since it was just me! there was a tv, desk [ near tons of outlets ], bathroom with a tub, a sink, and FREE WIFI score! … i wasn’t in the room that long. only to sleep, put my things day prior to race and post race. they also very kindly gave me a late check out to 1PM. I really needed it… specially after running 13.1 miles! they also held my bags after I checked out. overall I had a good time staying here and look forward to coming back! thank you !!
oh almost forgot. they also do wine fridays! complimentary wine at 5PM!

«Modernized Victorian style hotel full of history and character.»
This is by no means within the same caliber as the Marriott or Hyatt. The building itself is over 100 years old and has been renovated and fitted with customized bed frames. The wood paneling evokes a classy feel and the carved fixtures and accents definitely provides a hint of Parisian/​Victorian flare.
The lobby area has a nice Victorian chic style with comfortable seating areas. Check in was convenient and staff members were eager to assist with luggage and other hotel services. The room was quite small and definitely lacked the creature comforts we are used to (i.e.: air conditioning, mini fridge, seating area, etc). There is a ceiling fan and 2 large windows to help with the heat. The room was very clean and stocked with toiletries and shower robes. The closet was rather interesting as it only has a curtain in place of a door.
Housekeeping was on point with every single detail. I was provided with fresh sheets, towels, and even a proper hospital corner fold. Everyone was courteous and greeted me with a smile. Overall impression: old-​world charm with modern touches keeps this hotel alive. It may not have the amenities as some of the higher end chains, however it is enough to please its guests.

Chambre toute petite
Pas de climatisation
Mauvais accueil
Pas un sourire de la part du personnel depuis notre arrivée
Ceci dit: très bien placé dans San Francisco

While I was on vacation Memorial Day weekend in San Francisco, I stayed at this interesting hotel, and I gotta say the stay was great. Even though I didn’t spend much time in my room, since I was out and about. I mean sure the hotel room feels like a normal size place you would get in New York, but the style, décor, price, and how clean the room was you can’t beat. Especially staying on a holiday weekend it was still cheap, and the service was fairly good as well. This is definitely a cheap, but a nice hotel to stay at. One thing I did notice was how warm the room was at night, and there’s no a/​c. I would open a window or two at night that’s for sure

I used Expedia for this reservation and picked this hotel for the decent rates, and downtown location just one block from the BART Powell Station, very handy. What I did not realize, until I’d confirmed my no refund reservation, was the shared bathroom feature. Thus, the low rates. However, depending on your personal comfort level with such things, this is totally doable.
The front desk staff (all staff in fact) were very friendly and accommodating, a perk where ever you do business. Upon checkin I inquired on availability for a room with bath, and they changed me over for nights two and three of my stay. Albeit at a higher rate, I was willing to cough up the dough and so first thing in the morning I made the switch. I would recommend this hotel, the historic classic building is very pleasant, and while the rooms are quaint (tight), both that I stayed in were comfortable.
The breakfast is no frills, coffee and muffins, but when you’re in a town like San Francisco, you expect to garner your exceptional dining experiences at the many fine eating establishments, not at your quick starter at your hotel. I’d rather have decent rates than a fancy breakfast spread.

Hotel bien placé pour faire du shopping et à proximité du métro, câble car. Les chambres sont propres, assez petites mais correctes. La lumière du couloir en permanence allumée peut déranger. Rue parfois bruyante :/

This is a great hotel to stay at if your attending any convention next to Moscone or you are just visiting SF in general. The rooms with the shared toilets/​showers are clean, comfortable, affordable and are a decent sized for a single traveler.
My only complaint would of been the slow wifi and not being able to open my window on the back wall since people outside were blasting music.

Verhältnismäßig kleines, übersichtliches Hotel in San Francisco Downtown. Die zentrale Lage ist perfekt, um gut hin und wieder wegzukommen.
Das Hotel ist relativ sauber und aufgeräumt, die Badezimmer sehr funktional, und gefüllt mit interessanten Produktproben, die Schnarchbremse ist hier ganz besonders erwähnenswert. Für alle, die länger bleiben, gibts im Keller eine Waschmaschine und Waschzubehör zum fairen Preis.
Die Zimmer zur Straße sind relativ laut, Ohrstöpsel sollten ins Gepäck, für alle Geräuschempfindlichen.
Das Frühstück ist nicht wirklich als Frühstück ernstzunehmen. Es gibt morgens Kaffee, Tee und Muffins zur Auswahl. Nett zum wach werden, Frühstücken muss aber woanders, wer’s will.
Aus einem pragmatischen Blickwinkel betrachtet, ein ordentliches Hotel. Aus einer ästhetischen Wohlfühlperspektive — so mittel. Also drei Sterne. Nicht mehr, aber auch definitiv nicht weniger.
