Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is a decent choice for budget travelers looking for a basic stay. The rooms are simple with a double bed and a nice television but not ideal for light sleepers due to the bathroom down the hall. The service is satisfactory with options for housekeeping and laundry. The location is convenient, though not in the heart of the city, making it a practical choice for those needing easy access to local areas. The dining options are limited but include some local products. The facilities are adequate for a short stay.
The hotel is set in a convenient location near Chinatown in the heart of San Francisco. The rooms are clean and comfortable, ideal for those not disturbed by noise from shared bathrooms. The service is satisfactory, and the hotel's value for money is reasonable. However, the lack of in-room bathrooms may not suit light sleepers.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, with clean and comfortable rooms and friendly staff. The shared bathroom was down the hall, which was a minor inconvenience. The location was perfect for exploring downtown San Francisco, but the shared bathroom was a downside. The hotel served delicious udon soups, but the lack of private bathrooms was a drawback.
The hotel is situated in a good area downtown, very close to Union Square, making it perfectly convenient for transportation. The rooms, although basic with a double bed and a shared bathroom down the hall, are well-kept and clean. Not ideal for light sleepers due to the setup. The service provided, including housekeeping and laundry, is decent. The dining experience offers homemade desserts with limited options. Overall, the hotel offers a great location but lacks some comfort amenities for light sleepers.
I stayed at this hotel and found it perfect for those who don't mind a shared bathroom and enjoy watching TV in the room. The location is excellent, right across Chinatown, but bear in mind you'll have to walk down the hall for the bathroom. Overall, a good stay with a few quirks.
