Hotel needs to be updated. It has a great location near Union Square, the cable car and Chlnatown all of them at walking distance. Tai at the reception was very professional and helpful. She made you feel very welcome. Price was very affordable for SFO standards.

一切都好24小時checkin但是建築有老舊味

一切都很好很棒,無可挑剔的,房間大小剛剛好,溫度適中,櫃檯服務態度好而且是24小時的,半夜check in也可以,只不過房間可能比較老舊,會有一股老舊味,除了牙刷牙膏需自備,這裡竟然還有提供卸妝巾跟棉花棒。這裡的浴室是只有頭頂的花灑🚿沒有可以手持的花灑

There is no view. The rooms are so small you can barely walk. No parking $40. A day and a block and a half walk. Room view was a destroyed brick wall 10 ft away. Felt like I was staying in a New York Alley.

Older building that has been updated and provided the basics - clean, comfortable bed, small but nice bathroom, darkening shades, tv, closet, suitcase stand, alarm clock, wall heater, no refrigerator, elevator, coffee in room or downstairs, large downstairs lounging areas. Our room overlooked the street; however, it was pretty quiet - even with activity on street like car being towed, some blinking red lights, pedestrian traffic at 7/11. Parking available for fee a short block away.

The check in staff were really friendly and welcoming. First impression walking in was that it was really clean. The parking garage was 2 minutes walking distance from the hotel so it was pretty convenient. Had no issues with the room except that the bathroom was a little small and the sink was inconvenient when trying to wash my face. Overall you get a pretty nice experience considering what you are paying and you are in walking distance of a lot of cool establishments. I recommend staying here and I would stay here again.
