The urban is a hostel to be exact, but given the cost of lodging in San Francisco, it is a welcome relief to the $500/night rooms. Most likely a former SRO, now refitted renovated to be rented out as a cheaper option in an otherwise unaffordable city. Suites do not have in room washroom or showers. But there are 2 - 3 washroom and 2 seperate showers and 1 bath on each floor. Rooms are clean but very basic. Hairdryers are available on request. Free popcorn in the evening and free juice in the morning. Due to the limited size of room, there is an eating/lounge area next to reception. Location is great, cheaper eats are found in Chinatown just across the street. Starbucks is downstairs at bush and grant. Closest groceries store with ready meals is probably trader joes about 0.4 miles away. Would I stay there again? Yeah. It was the best value for the area. It is no 4 star hotel, but for the regular non-luxuriously travelled person, it wasn't a bad stay.
