I first stayed at the Spero in 2005 and had made a point of staying there when ever I visit San Francisco. Over the years it has transformed from a well kept hospitable hotel to a run down establishment which looks to only maximize revenue from their guests. The rooms are very tired, similar to a run down Hampton Inn, there are no amenities despite charging a resort fee, and staff are more akin to working at a fast food establishment than a hotel. There are many better options now in the Tenderloin or wider San Fran area.

This place doesn't match the posted pictures. Please don't be fooled. It is an old stinky hotel. The location is literally next door to the ghetto. The lobby had this weird old building smell mixed with cheap perfume. The elevator was old and tight. The hallways were gross and reminded me of creepy motels in the movies. The room was small, dirty stinky carpets, bathroom door couldn't close. The noise from other rooms are another level. The windows were so dirty that outside view is blurry. I am sure it is comparable to a motel 8. Pictures and fake AI reviews fooled me. Don't get fooled.
