The Mosser Hotel

This is a great hotel in terms of value for money. Luxury it isn’t, but if you want that, then you absolutely need to pay more. For the price, you won’t beat The Mosser. The location is superb. You have all the amenities of SF on your doorstep or accessible by the excellent public transport network. You can walk to the Alcatraz Departure Quay in 35 minutes. Macy’s, Bloomingdales, Union Sq are 5 minutes away. If you’re coming from the airport, the Bart train stops 2 minutes away at Powell St and costs ten dollars. The room was bigger than I expected. I had a great nights sleep every night for the 5 nights I stayed. The bed is comfortable and the shower nice and hot. They provide dressing robes and toiletries. The hotel puts on unlimited free coffee every morning between 6.30 and 9, and that saved me a few dollars. Reception is well staffed and staff are helpful.

STAFFS 10/10: Ms Virgie, Ms Criselda and Sir Lito were the best hotel reception staffs I have ever met in 50 countries I’ve been. They are super friendly, efficient, kind and very helpful. They provided all my needs as a guest, ensured my room is all good and even helped me to cure my infected gums by giving me salt and instructing me to gargle it regularly with warm water (thank you so much). They’ve been very generous in sharing their insights on how to make the most out of my SFO experience. They provided excellent customer service and even went the extra mile. I will be forever grateful to them. I am definitely booking their hotel again when I’m back and I will recommend to all my friends. LOCATION 10/10: Best Location, at the center of the city, just across Target, the shopping malls, Walgreens, pharmacy and restaurants are all just few steps away. Accessible to everything and some tourist sites are walking distance and the rest are highly accessible with subways, bus and cable cars which are all just few steps away from the hotel like 2 mins walk. COMFORT 10/10: Complete with everything, a quiet room with comfortable bed that made me sound asleep for all my 6 nights there. The Pilipino Reception Staffs assigned me at the corner room which is very quiet. Thank you. CLEANLINESS 10/10: Everything is super clean. WIFI 10/10: very strong & stable VALUE FOR MONEY 10/10: super worth it with its great location, great staffs and nice room.

I think this hotel is a good value for the money. The rooms are tiny, but you don't really need more than a bed, lighting, and a bathroom. My room was clean and for the most part very comfortable. While I was there the workers of the Marriott across the street were picketing as a part of the collective bargaining process. It was very loud, however, from my room on the 5th floor I wasn't bothered by the chanting and drumming because I hardly heard it. The front desk staff was efficient and reasonably, but not overly, friendly. (I hate over-the-top verbal greetings.) Lastly, the location is fabulous: 1/2 block from Market Street, two blocks from the Museum of Modern Art and other cultural venues, great restaurants nearby, lots of mass transit just steps away, a Trader Joes almost next door for groceries, and a multi-screen theater just a block away.

Excellent location, a one-minute walk to all kinds of transport (BART, subway, bus, tram, historic cable car). Major shopping malls are literally just around the corner. Trader’s Joe is just next door. My room was on the 6th floor, overlooking the street and I had no issues with outside noise at all. The room was lovely - light and clean. The stuff is approachable and nice.

Double windows blocked the street noise well and wooden blinds blocked the street light signs. It wasn't too hot so the ceiling fan kept it cool and I could get a cross breeze if needed. Just squeeze the latches to open the windows and remove the pins to open them all the way. The corner sink and mirror were great for the space. The closet had an iron, robes, and a suitcase stand. Lots of great lighting options to suit the mood. I even loved the old elevator, lobby, and adjacent area with complimentary coffee (which I didn't know was available at first)!
