Friendly staff. The Expedia listing for this property does not align with the actual amenities: there is no breakfast provided (staff said the Expedia listing was old and out of date) and the “queen” was actually a full size bed (staff said that was the “same size as all of the beds” listed as queen). The location was great and easy to access. The room was clean. The elevator went out on the last day we were there but the staff were really friendly and offered complimentary luggage storage to help offset the inconvenience. That was really kind. Overall a good stay.

Okay so this was one of the inexpensive options and it was phenomenal for what it was, the location was immaculate it’s actually right next to SF’s Chinatown and Union Square. Now the hotel’s cleanliness is up for question it was hairs all over the bathroom (that were not mines) but it could have been a custodians hair, the overall cleanliness did make me skeptical but I survived lol. It really is what you pay for but it was decent :)

The room was inexpensive, clean and roomy enough so it served it's purpose. It's an old hotel, probably historic. There's an actual key to the door, which is probably unusual for a hotel nowadays. It's located in a convenient and safe location. With restarants and some shops nearby. And the staff was nice and helpful. But the tv was small and my bed was pretty hard. There's no fridge or microwave. So if you're not looking for a luxurious experience, it's fine. Sorry, the only picture I took was of the view out of the window.

The room ia good enough for solo traveler for a short vacation. Eduardo is very accommodating during the checked-in. I just hope that the hotel management would be more considerate to accommodate for an early check-in especially for traveler that arrived early from a long trip. All in all the hotel is nice and good value for money.

The hotel was ok for the price and location. However it is very outdated. Rooms are small bathroom very old and not very clean. The bed is difficult to sleep. Vey hard mattress is like sleeping on the floor. The window couldn’t be open or closed all the way up. Good thing we were on the higher level. The staff was great and accommodating.

Ideal location, don’t expect much

Great location. Stayed here bc the city was so full with Dreamforce there was no other option. The hotel common areas carpet is very dirty and there was a musty smell throughout the stairways. Room carpets are old and shower looked dirty (but could have been so embedded in plastic floor unable to make look cleaner). Sheets looked clean. Beds seemed to just be boxes without real mattresses, but that made them seem cleaner.

For what it was, it was okay. However the premium room was still tiny, very dingy and unclean. There was hair everywhere and rice and peanuts down on the floor. However, the bedding looked clean and everything worked including a fridge and microwave (although the fridge did freeze my stuff as it was up on max!). The location was good, right next to the Dragon Gate and staff were very friendly and nice so points for that! If you want some space, more amenities and a cleaner experience, I’d advise spending a little more but otherwise it did the job for somewhere to sleep
