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.

Great Location for Everything!
The rooms were pretty small but it worked out great for what my boyfriend and I needed for our vacation. It was right near several restaurants, cafes, and bars that were within walking distance. In addition, it's located walking distance to several Muni stops which we found to be the most cost-effective and easiest way to get around (they do offer a special guest rate of $24.95/day at a garage for your car a few blocks away, driving seems pretty nuts in SF though). The room was nothing special(really small, and basic), but for the price it worked out perfect for the week we stayed there, and best of all there was always hot water for the shower! If you're looking for a hotel with flat screen tvs, huge beds, and paul mitchell shampoos this hotel probably isn't for you, but if you just need a place to sleep at night while your exploring the city of San Francisco then this is your spot.

There's an awesome cafe called The Working Girls cafe a block and a half from the hotel located on Bush St. They had great bagels/breakfast sandwiches, perfect stop for a quick (decent priced) breakfast

Business trip San Francisco
The room was small. Amenities are limited. Great location - close to Union Square, Convention Center and Chinatown. Good value for someone who really are not in the room a lot except to sleep and shower.

The price is right, the rooms clean. Husband says don't drop soap in the shower as you can't bend over to pick it up. No extras, no fussy stuff.

Couple's getaway weekend
It was a bit smaller than small. But it was very clean. Perfect location. Right in the middle of everything. Walls are VERY thin....but overall a great place. It's nice if you are doing short trip, there is so much to do, you don't spend much time in the hotel.

For the price...good stuff!
The Grant Plaza is a nice hotel conveniently located to points of interest like Chinatown, Union Square, Market Street...California Street Cable Cars, St. Mary's Church as well. The hotel itself, I must say, was small but, but I ended up loving it because it WAS small and rather quaint. The personnel was friendly and efficient, the room reminded me of home, clean and airy. I would definitely return to stay there since I am an "in-out" traveler.

Try the Garden Restaurant on Kearny/Clay. About 4 blocks from the hotel, they open at 0730 M-F and serve American & Chinese foods. Ask for Jasey or Lily...you will love it!

acceptable room
Location is fantastic!! No doubt for that. Room is very small, barely can turn around in the shower. Not as clean as I would pay for $70 and the hallway and the room has a wired smell.

Grinding It Out
Basic Lodgings; Fair Price
The Grant Plaza is pretty basic, which is something you should understand if you book it. Amenities are minimal. The location is quite convenient to Chinatown and the financial district, and is fairly central to a lot of good activities in SF. It's a small room, but it is very clean. Parking is a few blocks away, and costs about $28 per day. Overall, if you're on a budget, you'll be happy with this place.

A very nice little restaurant, Le Central, is around the block on Bush. Never seems too crowded, like some of the watering holes near the financial district will get after 5 pm. Another block down the hill on Bush you'll reach Belden Place, an alley full of restaurants, from Italian to seafood to Spanish. You can also walk down the hill on Pine from the hotel to get there.

They tucked us in the corner I think...
The location was just perfect for what we were looking for, however, the room we were put in was the size of a closet and smelled of mold/mildew. By peeping into other rooms when the staff was cleaning them, I saw that some of the other rooms were not as bad, and had better windows. I would recommend paying the extra money for a bigger room (we had a single double-bed room). The one thing we did appreciate was the staff downstairs. One particular guy at the front desk helped us through everything and even ordering late night pizza.

Cab from the city (financial district/union square) is about $50.00. You can take the bart in for about $8.25, however, the bart often smells like urine and is full of characters...

I will label a .I expected a larger room for four.There were not much sufficient space for hanging clothes and there was only one suitcase stand. May be that is all we can expect for the money.
