San Francisco Buddha's Universal Church Hotels

"Great staff and location, rooms could use some deep cleaning. Loved the water bottle stations and coffee machine!"

"Clean room, cookies or popcorn in the lobby."

"There was absolutely no on-site parking. Available parking was half a mile away and $40 per day. The area of the hotel was extremely bad. The room did not come with a coffee maker, mini fridge, or microwave. The room also had very little privacy in the bathroom. I would give the hotel staff a 2 star due to lack of communication."

"Love Chinatown "

"No hot tub, no bath. Room was nice, walls are thin and hear everything. Staff was great! The bed was great (king). The place was clean. No airport shuttle. Place has been updated and is pretty nice, though there are nicer places out there it seems a good value."

"I wish the rooms had a microwave otherwise it was a good stay. The location was very convenient."

"Great location, loved the suite with our kiddos."

"I stayed at this hotel for a business trip, and overall it was fine, though definitely not without quirks. The property was extremely crowded during my stay, likely due to the conferences onsite. Check‑in was quick, but only because I arrived early—something I really appreciated. My room itself was acceptable, but it was located far on the opposite side of the elevator area. The elevators were a consistent frustration: very slow, and at times they wouldn’t let you select your floor. I wasn’t the only one experiencing this; several guests mentioned the same issue. Staff interactions were mixed. Most were fine, but during the conference they came across as a bit unfriendly. At breakfast, I overheard a staff member complaining that guests were “taking too long eating,” even though we were still well within the posted breakfast hours. It created an unnecessary sense of being rushed. Checkout, on the other hand, was easy thanks to the card drop boxes in the lobby and the convenient pickup/drop‑off area outside. One thing to note: the walls are thin. Light sleepers may want to prepare for noise if neighbors are active. The surrounding area felt generally safe, though it’s still an urban part of San Francisco, with the same level of homelessness you’d expect in most major metro areas. Overall, the stay was workable for business travel, but there are a few minor issues worth being aware of."

"Love the environment and the staff. Would definitely go back"
