Friendly staff , very accommodating! My boyfriend and I were visiting San Francisco for the first time to see the Warriors game for his birthday! This location was in walking distance of everything we needed (train or bus) and wanted to do (Chinatown & little Italy)!

central location close to transit and shopping, friendly staff, clean room.
The room was so
Clean, the employees were so nice and I love that they always have security, I felt super safe. I also love how the iPad controls the room and the colors!! Blackout blinds always a plus too… I’d 100% stay here again
10/10 great stay! I would come back again and would definitely recommend for solo travelers. The room was clean, comfortable and very modern. The hair dryer was also a nice surprise since it was more modern than most hotels tend to use. The staff was very friendly and helpful! I always looked forward to coming back to my room at the end of the night.
Fantastic experience as far as the property and its staff is concerned. Dropping one star only because the periphery has significant number of homeless people especially in the night which can at time feel unsafe.
Very friendly and supportive staff overall!
