5know what to expect and you won't have any problems. always check Yelp.com or trip advisor before going anywhere and you should save yourself any disappointment.
The Oasis Inn is the best budget hotel that I have found yet in the city that is not in a bad location. It is right in the center of the city - just a few blocks from the city hall/civic center area. The food is really good towards the Tenderloin area, but I would avoid it after dark if you can. Take a taxi or drive - the parking is included and there are in-and-out privileges.
The smoking rooms are basic and smokey. The nonsmoking rooms are just basic and look like early nineties. I haven't had any problems with my room, but it can get loud at times if you leave your window open as they are very close to a major thoroughfare for the city (Van Ness).
I usually stay for about $75-80, but have gotten rooms from Samsclub/Costco for around $60. I don't understand people who get a great deal on a hotel in a very nice area and then bash it because it's not what they were expecting. there are plenty of pictures and reviews around and the hotel has been renovated in recent years. Who stays in their hotel rooms for any lengthy period of time anyway? As long as there is a clean bed, working shower, and relative quiet for a city, then you should be golden.
At these prices, it's a steal. I have stayed at dozens of hotels in San Francisco from 2 stars all the way up to 5 stars and honestly , I'd rather skimp on the hotel and spend my money on dining out or seeing a show.
