I only stayed there for a two nights. I would only recommend this place if you are desperate and it is your last resort. It looks nice and I thought it was sort of cool to stay there, since it looked like it was from a scary movie and was right next to the subway station (literally a few steps away). But the smell was bad. The ice machine did work. and they post a notice about the blackouts. But my bed had bedbugs and the beds were really small. Area was a bit intimidating, but not that bad.
Hotel Ok - Unsafe location

The hotel itself is ok, but it is surrounded by strip clubs. If you take a cab back and forth it might be ok. The streets around this hotel are unsafe during the day, at night I wouldn't have wanted to walk even 1/2 block. The beds were very small - like youth beds. The shower, towels etc. were ok. Staff friendly only no one would give me a refund. Online travel website did NOT return my money nor did the Hotel Renoir. I ended up checking out after 1 evening and paying 3 times as much to stay at the Marriott for the week. This hotel needs to employ staff/bouncers that will walk you 3 blocks in any direction to safety or provide a free shuttle around town. DO NOT stay here unless you are prepared for a street fight. Staff spoke German and Russian somewhat fluently. With a few modifications and a refund policy this could be a great hotel.
Quaint European style hotel

if your idea of a hotel stay is a suburban Mariott or high rise Hilton, then you're not going to like the Renoir. If, however you like feeling like you're part of the city you're in rather than being insulated from it, then you'll like this place. It's not plush but it is clean. The hotel is not air conditioned but that's not necessary in SFO. I really like it's proximity to everything. The location is perfect. The BART station is right across the street and the streetcar F linestops right in front of the hotel.
Most of the other guests were European - German, I think, and there were a number of gay people staying there as well. Everyone was quite nice and the staff was very helpful. I'll stay at the Renoir again. It's very reasonably priced for it's location.
horrible hotel

The area of town was horrible. The hotel had a bad smell to it. The hotel was old and run down. Said it was recently refurbished, not sure where. Not really close to Fisherman's warf, if you were there on a Vacation. Did not feel safe at all.
