Overall, the hotel was really good it was super clean, had a bar, and even offered free coffee, which was a nice touch. However, the noise levels were a downside. We could hear people from our bedroom , especially upstairs, and even the TV from the next room.
Great location and great price! Just steps from China Town and a short walk to Embarcadero.v Great for a Solo traveler who doesn't need a lot of amenities and isn't going to spend much time in their room. I was in town for Bay to Breakers and it was a 15-minute walk to the start line. Especially great for those who are coming to San Francisco to enjoy the nightlife. You will not get to bed early as there is a bar with outdoor seating directly below the hotel in the ally. Bring your earplugs if you want to fall asleep early. Otherwise it was a great stay for the price, I would definitely go back.
Great costumer service! Clean room, great amenities. I highly recommend the hotel. It’s a great value, great location and close to everything San Francisco.

The room was nice, however one of the windows did not open. There was no late check out even though the Expedia reservation stated it was available.
Not clean at all! Walls were very thin. We had someone doing drugs and bringing “company” back next door to us. We could hear everything the walls were so thin. We definitely did not feel safe staying here.
Room needed a fan or some air moving. Very hot in our room. Also, it would have been nice to have a mini fridge. Something cold for drinks. No vending machine on 3rd floor. Very loud neighbors. Lots of noise at night.
Location is fantastic. They did a great job considering it is an old property. Room is clean and great shower pression. A few issues: very noisy. I do not mean outside noise. I could hear people in the corridor, slamming doors, next room shower, people walking upstairs, etc. the whole night. You need a phone with Bluetooth and GPS enabled to open your room door. This gave me anxiety because phone is usually almost dead at end of day and there was nobody in reception to open door.
