I have stayed at the Renoir and have had out of town guests stay there. It's not a luxury hotel nor a boutique hotel. It's very basic, you get a bed, bathroom, TV, a nightable, and a closet. If you want something fancy this is not the place for you. But is you want a reasonably-priced hotel in the middle of the city, then the Renoir is a great option. It's official address is McAllister but it's right on Market Street, less than 2 blocks away from The Warfield It's convenient to Muni, BART, and Union Square. The area can get sketchy at night, but the hotel itself is safe, in my own experience. There is no room service, as one reviewer noted, but there is a restaurant on site and many eateries nearby. It is an older hotel, but it's pretty well maintained considering, and I'd rate the housekeeping as very good. The Renoir won't impress you or offer you a luxury stay, but it's clean, affordable, and accessible.

The hotel room cost me a whopping $110, but the setting was worth much less than that. The hotel is old and creaky and not well maintained. You can tell that it was built ages ago and had not been changed since. There was no room service. The room was small and drafty with a single TV as decoration. The heater was oudated, also. Bedspread looked faded. The floor was uncarpeted. Only one worker is available at night and that would be the desk clerk who informed us that we could not ask for much of anything because the service staff was not on duty.
