Stayed here for 3 nights and enjoyed my stay. Convient location 2 blocks away from union square, 7 min walk to china town, 10 min drive from pier 39. Very old hotel and extremely small rooms but you get what you pay for. Staff was really nice. Only downfall is our room didn’t have a fridge or microwave.

This hotel was in a popular location, close to union square shopping, China Town and a cable car route. The parking garage had $35 in and out parking which was very convenient for us. We were worried about the rooms being on the smaller side but found the beds to be comfortable and the rooms to be clean, the check in and out process was seamless and the staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The hotel is old and showed clear signs of this with sagging wallpaper and rusty finishes but we got a good price and were happy with our one night stay.
