The hotel is in a convenient location, central to Chinatown and Little Italy, making it easy to explore the city. The rooms are a bit small but relatively comfortable, although they had a slight dog odor on the 6th floor due to neighboring AC units. The service was extremely friendly and accommodating, with staff willing to assist with various tasks. The location is excellent for a weekend visit, providing easy access to Union Square, Powell BART station, and great dining options. The dining experience was pretty good, especially for Korean dishes, but some menu items did not change daily. Overall, a basic, reasonably priced hotel with good value for a central location.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were modern and clean, but unfortunately, they lacked air conditioning. The service was extraordinary, with very friendly and accommodating staff like Will at the front desk and Jessica at the bar, although there were some minor inconveniences during check-in. The location was absolutely excellent, situated between China Town and Union Square, making it convenient for exploring the city on foot. The dining experience was enjoyable but had some limitations due to the small breakfast area being shared with the bar.

The hotel has a unique industrial chic meets old San Fran style. The rooms were spacious, clean, and perfect for a 3-day stay. The staff was friendly but reception could be more welcoming. The location is awesome for exploring San Francisco, close to Union Square, although a bit noisy. Dining was above average, with pricey options. Facilities were great, especially the crinkle-cut fries.

The hotel offers a fab speakeasy bar on the first floor with great cocktails, wine, and food, which was a nice touch. However, the neighboring building undergoing renovation was a bit of a distraction.

The hotel is in a convenient location, close to many city attractions, shops, and dining spots. The rooms were initially small, but after a room change, we enjoyed a quieter and more spacious accommodation. The service had some hiccups during check-in but improved later. The location near Union Square and Chinatown is a plus. The dining provided versatile options with room for improvement in the breakfast offerings.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although small, were comfortable and clean with everything I needed. However, they were quite noisy due to nearby AC units and cheap windows without proper isolation. The service was excellent, and the staff were accommodating and helpful. The location was convenient for exploring the city, being close to shops, Union Square, and restaurants. The dining experience was satisfactory with complimentary offerings but lacked a proper breakfast. Overall, a decent stay with a few drawbacks.

The hotel is situated perfectly for exploring the best of San Francisco, right between China Town and Union Square. The rooms are small but well equipped, very clean, and offer a cool modern look. The service was amazing, with nice, friendly, and helpful staff. The dining experience, albeit complimentary, could use more variety. The location is convenient, just a short walk from Union Square and with easy access to public transport. The facilities meet expectations and provide a comfortable stay.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were a good option for a cheap stay, but the noise from the AC units and thin windows was bothersome. On the bright side, the room had a nice view and a cozy sitting area with a table and chairs, though I had to keep the window open for ventilation.
