- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ส.ค. 2024
- (8-16-2014) For 75$ after taxes this was not bad at all. Hotels like this are NOT for everyone. You have very basic amenities. No private bathroom or shower. No Air Conditioning but for one night in a very expensive city, I found this a great value and it made for a great tour. Staff here was VERY friendly and the room was clean.

It looks like some places you live in when you begin a GTA game...
I would hate staying in a hotel like this especially since there are no private bathrooms. It's not for me.
kid
Same
Х
Да
stv pls а
The community shower/bathroom thing would be a dealbreaker for me.
This place is Hell.....
I feel like it would be really nice if the staff spent more time making sure the bathrooms and showers were clean.
They are clean, they are just real old. If they deep cleaned it they mine as well just buy new showers
Holy crap they are not lying budget is right but I rather pay the extra and get air conditioner and walk in the bathroom to find that the last person had too much to drink and the floor became the target while it looks historic I wouldn't spend 59 a night more like 15 at most lol
Reminds me of Elwood's hotel in the Blues Brothers.
Andy Lee Same!
The hotel and the people in there looks like something out of a movie
Personally, I wouldn't feel safe staying at a place like this, I would rather stay at a Motel 6, that's just me though.
I would stay at a hotel as long as it has an elevator or elevators for me to ride. And of course the hotel has to have an indoor pool and hot tub or I will not stay in it. The only way you can get me to stay in a hotel is finding one with an indoor pool and hot tub and an elevator or elevators.

Send me a private message if you want me to contact you.
dominic arnone So you are going to spend $100 plus just for an elevator and pool? Someone needs to teach you personal finance.

dominic arnone You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot force the horse to drink it.
the mens shower and toilet door when it opened and closed it sounded like the door farting
So much for ADA-compliance...
$75? I would've paid another $75 for a decent sized room and a bathroom.
It looked very dirty and sketchy, I know everything is more pricey in big cities, but my friend and I stayed downtown Chicago at Hilton for $115/night and it was a luxury hotel with a city view. I can't imagine having to go to the bathroom at 3am and walk down that hallway hoping someone else isn't already in there, not to mention if someone is in there showering. Just awkward.... It looked more like a cheap hostel than a hotel.
0:47 Sirens in the distance!
yep
For a place to stay the night and live the next morning its not bad but if its for more than a day than id pay the extra money and stay in the nice hotels by the airport
ShadowKnight(SSG) Exactly theres really nice hotels by San Francisco Airport like Hilton, Crown Plaza, Radaissans for under $100 a night on most days. Id rather stay there than this cheap shit.
I lived there when I first tried to move to SF. If you went to look out that upper floor window at a certain time of night, you got any number of scenes to look at across the street.
I wouldn't stay in a hotel like this, it has no private toilet or shower, and no air conditioning.
Guys, don't expect a building built in th 1800s to be this good. Hotels were probably this different. No swimming pools, tiny rooms, non-private bathrooms, etc. But at the time when this hotel was open it was probably a great place to take a vacation on or something. Now there are more places way more nicer than this. It has since aged very well indeed. But when it was closed permanently then homeless people live here.
This is now the National Hotel
Thanks. I haven’t been able to find anything about it lately
Incorrect. It is now abandoned.
@@Ih8kone i wrote this comment *before* it closed down
@@wwood-ct7yn Oh sorry about that.
I'd say around 1890s that this was built. Similar to the Columbia Hotel in style.
They sure crammed rooms into a place back then.
Yeah this place was DEFINITELY old. I wonder if it is pre 1906 as a big earthquake did signifigant damage to the city.
*****
They had earthquake-resistant buildings then.
Sounds like going to a doctors office do you agree?
I would personally stay in this hotel if I was on a budget. I'm used to embassy suites and holiday inns but this would be a nice change in ,y opinion due to recent financial issues in my family.
This place is now permanently closed.
That's good, glad it's finally gone.
It's not. I have reservations there in a few days XDD
It definitely failed compliance for ADA, because the bathrooms and hallways were so narrow, plus lack of elevators
And no grab bars in the restroom. Plus, the rooms were so small. Wouldn't be surprised if this place is torn down now that it's closed
@@Daisysunshyne Yes it is.
Wow love it!! Love the side by side room setup
It was really not too bad. I found out there is one down the road with a gated elevator that is cheaper. I may try that place next time. I LOVE staying in odd ball places as they make for more interesting hotel tours, than a "cookie cutter" hampton inn or holiday inn, etc etc.
*****
What place is it? Has it been filmed at before? If not, what is it called? And do you know if it is easy to get in?
Looked like a crack house don't like it
Old buildings are very interesting to see. The wainscoting on the walls is nice but I'm not a fan of community bathrooms though. Wonder if this was an old office building converted into a hotel.
Yuck, I would never stay there. Doesn't feel safe, looks dirty in the bathrooms. The biggest deal breaker is no AC. No AC = No deal.
.
I'm really late but I liked your comment anyway
More like 1$ because of no ac and private bathroom I am never staying there
And no elevators, and VERY small rooms
That One Ford Guy I beat this place is cheap
Not bad not bad at all. I love the size of that room. I would stay there
Well it's certainly unique. Personally, I wouldn't think it be a place i'd stay in but that doesn't mean it's bad. (The room looked pretty nice.)
Vintage is putting it mildly. It was the first hotel built for clean-up and construction workers after the 1906 SF Earthquake. Less than a block away is the Whitcomb, which was designated City Hall during the clean-up effort.
Wow, Andrew. That is one small hotel room. I checked it out and I LOVED it. Are there anymore videos you have from San Francisco?
You know, sometimes you just need a clean, no-frills room when money's tight. I've done it. There's a similar property down in Venice Beach (Los Angeles) that I've used multiple times. Would you take a date here? No. But if you're on a budget & not spending much time there anyway... Frankly, I'm grateful for these properties... as long as they're CLEAN... and this one definitely is.
We stayed at the holiday inn express at fishermens warf, very nice hotel.
This one (budget inn) reminds me of a dorm then a hotel.
It's now called National Hotel.
Isn’t it a homeless shelter now ?
@@DieselDucy yes
If I went to San Francisco I would probably choose to stay there if it’s in the heat of town you wouldn’t really be in your room that much but it’s easier to stay there if you are a single tourist also great hotel tour
Its no longer a working hotel, unfortunately. I'd love to stay here it looked creepy.
4:19 I think we just came across a break up scene or something...
Brent Dean that was my favorite part honestly.
Wow! This place reminds me of a hostel I used to stay at in Portland, Oregon. Very bare bones, communal showers, but much cheaper in price. But I did like the tour, very interesting.
I stayed in a hotel like that once in Quebec City, QC, Canada. Though it's horrible by today's standards, it was close to the Citadel and Plains d'Abraham where I went with my buddies from a school trip.
I went to sf for college and my best friend lives there now. I love hotels like this. Lol so many ppl in the comments clearly don’t see what these hotels are about. I personally like twinn perks in hotel it’s 100$ a night but it’s on market almost in the Castro. I felt safe there. The open windows in bathroom are to help prevent mold from water soaking into the walls.
I wouldn't mind staying at this place at all. The curb appeal isn't very good (I.E. hanging wires, crammy room hallways, lack of lighting, etc.) but the room is a kick in the pants compared to that. The (laminate) hardwood floor is very nice, the room is perfectly sized for one person, the bed looks VERY comfortable, free wi-fi (as you told me), but there is no TV, probably used to be one.
It was really not that bad. Yeah it is no Holiday inn but just a place to put my head for a few hours, it MORE than served its purpose. Even If i had more money, i would probably still travel on a budget..
***** Can you please call me?
It's astonishing that you have the only five star rating on this hotel on tripadvisor
I feel like I'm in a college dormitory. Your best bet is to stay at this hotel during the winter season because you will burn up in the summer.
Filthy. Rolls of toilet paper laying on the floor of a shared bathroom. Right.
Nice hotel tour
Very historic vintage hotel
I just to live in this Hotel. Gena is the manager part of the Mafia SF, Drugs dealer lives there, series killers stay in this hotel. a lot of Moll insane shower and bathroom s. serious never ever stay in this insane hotel
+Cecilio Noriega wow.
DieselDucy I suit this hotel I won now I live in Canada..but I cried there I was hopeless in this hotel, terrible things happened to me here...
+Cecilio Noriega this place was kinda run down and there were definitely some strange characters here
what happened to you. tell us if you can, HOpe you are better now
It looks a lot like a rooming house.
And the Hotel Whitcomb was just down the street from this..
Reminds me of my first dorm.
Nice for an older urban motel, but it sure is strange that there's no elevator, and also having to go up stairs to go in, which defies ADA compliance. But the call bell at the entrance sounds amazingly like the new CE Electronics elevator bells used on newer EPCO and Innovation fixtures.
What is wrong with you imagine staying there and all of that prostituteun
That’s interesting how go on a flight of stairs as soon as you go in the main door. I wonder how wheelchair users would access this hotel as I didn’t see a lift there. Anyway, good video.
Don't you mean elevator?
@@Ih8kone it’s the same thing. You would say a lift in the UK and elevator in the US.
Reminds me of a college dorm
That would have to be the last option that is inviting strangers to come in uninvited not safe at all. You get what you pay for not for me
Vintage my ass, I’d get shanked in my sleep there. I’ll be fine in the holiday inn-
man a dump like that goes for 75 where I live you can get a nice room with a pool for 60.
Um, excuse me, no air conditioning? No bathroom in the rooms? Or shower? I would believe somebody would sue the hotel in these days, or the hotel would be closed down. This is an old hotel, but it doesn't make sense to have heat when there's no air conditioning. I probably wouldn't stay at this hotel, because if I went to the gym, and was sweating hot, I would have no way to cool off. So get bathrooms in the rooms, and air conditioning, Budget Inn!
Myself personally if I pay any amount I need my own bathroom and a tv in the room. That's just me.
I use the hotel coupon books found at rest areas to save money. I stay at places like Red Roof Inn, Quality Inn, Comfort Inn etc.
Guaranteed haunted building. Reminds me of the old Blaisdel Hotel in Honolulu.
That room is pretty much the same size of my room.
Lol
Anybody notice that's there is no screens on the windows?
Very interesting hotel.
Ranked 53 out of 69 hotels on Trip Advisor.
Oh it also got 1 and like 1/2 starts out of 5.
hi not bad video you showed i remember this building very well in 1989 it used to be national hotel on 1139 market street i used to live there for several months, and didnt have it that bad, but now i was hearing from two friends who live in SF that national hotel is not there anymore and now it had homeless in there with bad people and they said that there was thiefs, drugs, and the place is owned by a SF mafia and stuff like that and all that so myself i heard that and i see something isnt right i heard it was a trap to lure people there with money so they can easily steal it, and also heard that people who work there are foreigners who own it are bad people hmmm i dont know why its being considered a bad place, my friend stayed there and he heard some guys talking about going out to buy drugs and booze and scare some people out of that hotel i thought huh whats happen to that hotel i used to be at was always safe now it sound like it turned into a spooky scary place to be at its sad what i heard what can you tell me did you have any problems there with anyone at all all i remember was it use to be national hotel 1139 market st and it used to be mostly gay and straight people at that time i lived there some of my few friends who were gay lived around me on my floor they are gone now,,,,thats what i remember it to be it was fun at that time we had great times sad its gone
This hotel tour is nice, but I don't like old hotels, anyway I like your videos !
The toilest seems to be too quiet for comfort
Mmmmm Yummy. A real humdinger of a flophouse, right near the heart of the tenderloin to boot too! This is the kind of place you will only hear in old Tom Waits songs.
That hotel is so old
This reminds me of a shady hostel in Stockholm.
Update 2024 this hotel is no longer open
Yep correct
I don’t know what date did the hotel close down.
reminds me something out of a movie
Very interesting tour but the place is not for me. Nor would it be for my family as my mom has limited mobility and she could not handle all those stairs unless there were rooms on the first level, and even then the public showers would be a deal breaker. Immediate area seemed very dirty too.
Lol this is LITERALLY where all the junkies live right next to the methadone clinic
They should instal an elevator here. Because what if a person in a wheel chair needed to get to the lobby. Walking up stairs to get to a lobby is not very reliable.
You could just stay at another hotel…
Not for me, I would stay at a regular hotel.Room looks ok I guess but a little dirty there might be bugs. Would not feel safe here.
I read some reviews online and unfortunatrly it is getting a LOT of nasty reviews about how smelly and unclean it is, along with many rooms having bed bugs
4:52
Definitely a compliance fail, look how close those 2 hotel room doors are!
They don't even have elevators and even the "first story" of the hotel is on the second floor of the building.
This hotel was a compliance fail at the start!
More of a hostel type setting
For a hotel like this, the guest rooms have no TVs.
$75?!!!???!?! I WOULD NOT PAY $35 FOR THAT, I WOULD RATHER STAY AT THE ROYAL INN IN DETROIT MI.
Are you live in Virginia
maybe it's just me, but has anyone else given any thought to how many people probably just pee in the sink in the room? I mean, it would avoid a trip to that hellhole of a bathroom. Not saying I'd do that (not saying I wouldn't.....) but I would NEVER stay here!!!
The ladies??
Very nice
Why does it look like a guest bedroom at your grandma’s house?
I know right?
you couldn't pay me a million dollars to stay there is rather stay somewhere else and I'm sorry that's not worth $75
0:40 that’s a bad sign they have bulletproof glass
Personally, I'd rather stay at the Ritz or Westin.
But those are CRAZY expensive. This hotel is for people on a budget.
Or a holiday inn or Marriott or Hilton
I wonder if perhaps this was something else prior to being a Inn. From it's design, it almost looks like it was an old Hostel, Dormitory, Jail, or perhaps it was some kind of group housing (possibly for a school, camp, church,youth group, group home, homeless shelter, asylum, or similar kind of thing).
I was wondering about that too, or an apartment but I think if it was an apartment, the bathroom would be inside the room.
this used to be the national hotel located on 1139 market street in san francisco i know this building very well i stayed there in 1989 at that time it was safe, as it used to be all gay and lesbian place at that time too one floor was gay another floor up above was straight people and now its gone, i heard recently this hotel that is now a inn was bad place may be run by a mafia of SF with drugs and stuff going on there, and that its dangerous and i read a post comments on here where he said he was a college kid broke and came to SF and got a room here, he said he heard someone next door saying look at money he got for a bike he stole and lets go buy crystal (drugs) he didnt know what he was getting into. so i assume he split and got out of there, and never went back so yes i heard its bad very bad run by mafia person who owns it, now i dont know if this is all true or what i sure would like to see what SFPD san francisco police dept says about that place, its run by a homeless agency of some sort for what i am hearing, so i don't know too about that, but something sounded fishy and a trap of some kind, so i don't really know for sure i would advice anyone before going there is to check with city first about the area and that hotel would be san francisco police dept because they patrol the area day and night and can possibly have a record on that place of any complaints or arrests or drugs and so on they would know alot more then i would
3:12 The door closing sounds noise was motocross
It was something.
Nice old hotel! Sadly that hotel is now permanently closed
It is :(
Why this hotel went out of busness
that's a very tight hotel,
Wow, that is a tiny place. Not my cup of tea, that's for sure. I don't mind a small space but a bit edged out by the community bathroom/shower. I wonder if it was formally an apartment. When I was vacationing in California, in San Fran we rented an apartment.
hi no it was the national hotel on 1139 market st across from the UN plaza and civic center area this used to be a gay hotel for gay people a long time ago in 1989 i stayed there at that time now its not national hotel anymore i am hearing its a dangerous place being run my mafia owner and drugs and thiefs who reside there, and that there is alot of bad stuff going on there,but one thing is i dont know for sure it is true but that is what i am hearing that rumor is going around town and all over warning people to stay away from that building that its dangerous and may have criminals living there who might be murderers and drugs prostitutes etc so i do not know this for sure just what i heard best thing is for people to contact city of sf or the police dept and say hey this address of this hotel safe or dangerous place or unsafe and let them tell folks thier side whats up with the hotel i have not been back to this building since 1989
What's the name of the end them song? And I would feel good about staying there
It look like what a 60s hotel room be like
It was pretty basic.
Where's the bathroom 🚻?????????????
It’s a community bathroom.
It’s like a campsite.
is this in the tenderloin?
That guy in the hallway :} :] :} :} :} :} :} :}
How come you cut off some parts of this video?
I edited the video and shot it in clips..
Wow this hotel is porr
This place is permanently closed
What about people with disabilities who can’t use the stairs?
There aren't even private bathrooms
Hey Andrew how old is this hotel
