Room was clean, staff were kind and great. Shared toilet and bathroom were well-maintained!
The room was clean and it’s perfect for backpackers. The staffs were really nice and it was right around china town so it was so easy to go around for food. Everything was amazing.
Great for the price. The room and the bathrooms were clean. Street-level windows can be a little loud, and I had an outlet with exposed wires. It feels a little weird having to be let in every time.
I'd stay again. The location is great.
I stayed here during Super Bowl weekend and it was a grand surprise. The streets were very clean and no homeless people around. The room I stayed at was very clean. Bathrooms and shower clean as well. I stayed very close to Union square and a lot of options for food and shopping.
Great location. Nice staff. The rest was terrible. Broken showers. Uncomfortable beds. Weird smells. Windows that either do t shut or don’t open. Just really scummy overall.
The hotel was good for my purpose, which was to find an affordable hotel option the night before the Super Bowl. My room was very tiny, and it was super loud outside the whole time, which made it hard to sleep. Otherwise, it was all fine and I would stay there again, for half of what I paid.
