Crystal Hotel - San Francisco, California

My wife and I lived here about 15 yrs ago when this first turned into an SRO. We now live in a nice place in Seattle, drug free for 12 yrs now. Man, I loved the Mission district.

This is one of the best SRO housing buildings. Ultra clean and no bugs. Owners take great care of this building and all the rooms are refurbished with large flat screen TV with sat cable. New floors and lots of power outlets. Thanks

I have been at this hotel/SRO now for about 7 months and I have to say, I was really surprised at the cleanliness of this hotel. There are no bad or overwhelming odors throughout the building. It is definatly an older building with no elevator or air conditioning (fortunately as anyone who has been living in San Francisco for a while knows, there is really no need for it) but they do have central heat throughout the rooms and building. The rooms are well kept with a good bed mattress, a sink (good pressure and plenty of hot and cold water. As do the showers), one window and a small closet. I have a recently updated flooring with no carpeting, which I appreciate since it is easier to maintain. I also have in my room a large good working flat screen TV with about 30 channels which I assume is basic cable. There are plenty of power outlets in the rooms and my room also has the good fortune to have a decent paint job with neutral colors. Showers and toilets are kept clean as are the common areas.The manager's seem to take great pride in keeping a clean and quiet property.

This is a quiet building with no fighting or abusive language tolerated. The building is safe and well monitored. As a whole I am grateful to be housed in this property. I have visited other SRO with a lot to be desired as far cleanliness and safety and upkeep. The manager is a no nonsense type of manager which will take action to evict those who choose not to follow the rules. However, once you get to know him, he is ok and you can see that he is not a bad guy.

There is only couple of things that I would change and that is one the curfew, which is 10PM every day of the week. It would be nice to have an extra hour a couple of days..., say Friday and Saturday with a 11PM curfew. The only other thing is if your not in by 10PM then you are sleeping outside! No excuses and no late arriving. That means in by 10:00PM and NOT 10:01 It would be nice to have a 5 minute grace period. So, all in all its probably one of the best SRO's in San Francisco and definatly would recommend it to anyone who is in need of transitional housing due to being homeless.

Room & board for INDIVIDUALS recently deciding to make homelessness a memory!
I do not give these individuals the blame for my low score of this hotel.... it is simply the management husband and wife team from india that are the reason. Stereotypes are for a basic reason. They fit a mold that has been tested again and again and the similar opinion makes up this stereotype.its not racist in origin...it just appears that way from my words.but my words hope fully keep you from having to go through what i went through. As far as i know the only entry into residency here is through SF County Hot Team or SF County Navigation Center. It is an sro program
Stepping stone to more permanent housing

As someone who has stayed at all most, all of the SROs in the city- This one is obviously run well. There's no garbage in the halls, no yelling and screaming, etc..
