I think I know the hotel you're talking about. It's still like that in 2023 on Geary St west of Taylor St.

My partner, not knowing the city, was about to book a hotel in this area but felt the vibes of the neighborhood and got the hell out of there.

I had a look on Google maps and I honestly can't say which hotel it was - I didn't spend much time hanging around outside looking at it!
