Hotel EPIK is an affordable 2-star hotel situated between Civic Center, the Tenderloin, and Polk Gulch. The staff were super friendly and attentive to my requests. Location was great! It was very easy for to get to SOMA, the Mission, and the Castro walking or on transit.
The room was clean, with very basic toiletries. There was no closet or place to hang or store my clothes. The shower had a nice showerhead and plenty of hot water.
While the decor is updated, my hotel room had considerable wear and tear. The heater remote stopped working, so I could not change the settings. The furniture and floors had considerable wear. In the bathroom, the lighted mirror in the bathroom was not completely attached and repaired with tape, but it worked, and the small shelf in the shower was loose and wobbly. Last thing, the mattress was super, super soft.
