Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a comfortable stay at a good value close to Powell Street for easy access to affordable amenities. The rooms are small but cozy, lacking some expected facilities like a hairdryer and iron, yet with daily towel changes. The service is friendly and helpful. The location is very convenient, with easy access to Union Square and nearby attractions. The dining experience is average, with some tasty pastries but limited choices and additional charges for certain items.
The hotel rooms are spacious with a good bathroom but lacking proper noise insulation, offering only pastries and powered milk for breakfast. The staff is friendly but tends to be preoccupied with their phones. Despite this, the hotel is centrally located though amidst a grotty environment with many homeless people around.
My stay at the hotel was quite enjoyable. The rooms were clean and to a high standard, equipped with a hair dryer and an ironing board + iron, but somewhat small and lacking a view.

Overall, a decent choice for a stay in the city without breaking the bank.
The hotel is conveniently located in a central area, ideal for exploring Chinatown and taking the cable cars to the Bay.

The service was friendly overall, but a particular encounter over the phone left a negative impression. The location, though central, had noise issues both inside and outside the hotel, detracting from the experience. Dining options were limited, but there was easy access to cafes for additional choices.
I couldn't have asked for a better location in the heart of San Francisco, right near Chinatown and close to many attractions.

The price is reasonable compared to the high cost in the city, making it a great value for the prime location.

The hotel had small but comfortable rooms, and despite some noise like hearing the neighbors, the overall stay was decent. The breakfast offerings were limited to croissants and pastries with powdered milk due to a heating system issue, affecting the experience.
