Historic hotel steps from Chinatown Gate
No hotel is closer to San Francisco's Chinatown than the Grant Plaza. The circa-1920 property is located across the street from the famous Chinatown Gate, meaning guests are just steps from the sights and aromas of this vibrant neighborhood. Rooms are modest but comfortable; many feature bay windows. Guests also enjoy complimentary Wi-Fi Internet access throughout the hotel.

Need a place to crash?
We got here late one night from our flight from Las Vegas. Eventho it was very very late, we checked in with no problems. placed in the heart of China Town and the Financial District, there is plenty of places to eat and drink. Just a few short blocks to Union Square this hotel is good for the traveler who will be out alot! inside the room.... Very very old, but it was perfect for the lone night we stayed. if I had to stay there again for (1) night I would.

Fantastic Location and Great Price
Stay at this hotel if you are on budget and want a great location. The room was noisy as the noise cancellation is pretty bad. You will hear people walking at the corridor. The room was small. The bathroom is even smaller. Who cares, it's cheap and have a perfect location.

Spartan accomodation in great location
The best asset of this hotel is something that is in spite of itself: it's killer location 2 blocks from Union Square. The hotel is decaying, the rooms small and barely clean. I have stayed at worse places before, and I'm not very picky, but the truth is if you want to stay in this area for less than $100, you'll have to make abstraction of the poor condition of the room and the lack of comfort.

got what we paid for
For the price, I wasn't disappointed. It was a small room and not luxurious by any means, but I wasn't looking for anything else other than a place to crash and the location was perfect. It was literally a block away from union square, chinatown started across the street and walking distance from any means of transportation. We even managed to walk to fisherman's wharf and it was not even a real work out. Overall, I was satisfied.

Adequate and Friendly
The hotel was adequate and friendly. I especially liked the advice that the staff gave me for budgetary considerations, especially local low-cost Chinese food. I also like the safe Chinatown environment for the hotel.

Nothing fancy (gets the job done)
Great location. Close to restaurants, shopping & public transportation. Room was very small, but clean. Furniture & bedspread were old, very worn and outdated. Bed was comfortable, but squeaky. Sheets were clean. No screens in the windows. TV was old & small. Bathroom light was on a motion sensor (very annoying) and would go off every 60 seconds, so you would have to wave your hand or move about to have the light turn on again. Bathroom was clean. There are lockers you can rent for 50 cents if you need to store luggage. This is definitely a no frills hotel where even the ice machine takes quarters. Staff was friendly and if you`re just looking for a place to crash, it's a good value. If you plan on spending a lot of time in your room or like a lot of extras, I`d look elsewhere.

Had a good time
wonderful! Very peaceful. The street in front is not as busy, so I was able to sleep well. Not too many distractions from the cars. Except on my last night. The next-door occupants were playing loud disturbing music until 4a.m. How I wish the hotel staff took care of it. There's a certain smell in the room which was not very pleasant. Otherwise, I was happy to be there.
