The hall and my room smelled very musty, so much so that I was worried that there was mold. I bought Lysol from the Walgreens across the street but it didn't help. There were black spots at the base of the shower and around the window AC unit. I took out the filter screen of the AC unit and it was filthy. When I showed it to the 2 employees at the front desk, one was rude saying he had no idea when he could get me a new one because he'd have to call "engineering". The second man was nicer, took the filter, and said he'd take care of it. When I returned to my room later that day, there was a filter in the AC unit again. I don't know if it had just been vacuumed or if it was new. Regardless, I didn't use it again. The first night, it was so noisy outside in the neighborhood that I had to turn on the AC fan to try to sleep (white noise) but the fan was so loud that sleeping was quite the challenge. The room was small but what I liked were the shower and towels. Every employee except the one mentioned above was very friendly. The price was right, but I would only suggest people looking for a youth hostel type accommodation to stay here.

I stayed for a solo trip for a weekend and it was the perfect fir for me. I loved the little coffee, tea and water station they had for their guests and the staff was very friendly. The rooms are small and clean. The walls are thin and you hear other guests but it was still okay and didn't impact my sleep.

Clean, simple hotel. Rooms were quite small, but comfortable. I probably wouldn’t stay again as I prefer more space in a room.

Hotel needs to be updated. It has a great location near Union Square, the cable car and Chlnatown all of them at walking distance. Tai at the reception was very professional and helpful. She made you feel very welcome. Price was very affordable for SFO standards.

一切都好24小時checkin但是建築有老舊味

一切都很好很棒,無可挑剔的,房間大小剛剛好,溫度適中,櫃檯服務態度好而且是24小時的,半夜check in也可以,只不過房間可能比較老舊,會有一股老舊味,除了牙刷牙膏需自備,這裡竟然還有提供卸妝巾跟棉花棒。這裡的浴室是只有頭頂的花灑🚿沒有可以手持的花灑
