Great location, walkable to the muni station, nice restaurants and shops around and the china town is right there
Overall this was a great place to stay and centrally located. Staff was friendly and overall felt safe. Room was clean and perfect for a solo traveler.
In the heart of china town, good food options nearby.

Let us get 2 rooms last minute. Staff was super helpful and kind.
I will say the rooms on the street side were very noisy due to chinatown traffic, lots of honking and yelling in middle of night bit other than that it was a nice stay.
Everything worked and the location was pretty good. Other than that, wasn’t the cleanest and kind of poorly maintained for the age of the building. I would say worth the price though and it worked pretty good for our trip considering we only used it to sleep.
Right at the door of Chinatown and 20 minutes walking to the conference center!
There is an amazing French restaurant right across!
Staff was super friendly
We will come back for sure
The room was comfortable but a bit small. It came with a fridge though there did not seem to be a microwave available for guests. The hotel is located right near Chinatown, so there are many good food options nearby, and the view from the window was great. Just note that luggage storage before checkin or after checkout may come with an extra fee. Overall it was a comfortable stay with a convenient location.

It was a good location. Staff was okay nothing exceptional but were kind and responsive. Room was what’s you expect from a historic hotel. Bedding was clean and room smelled nice. Only issue was some hair in the bathroom walls. Overall worth it for the price.

Excellent location. The property is very old, but it is fine for a city vacation. It does not have air conditioning.
