Consigliato!
Pros:

Posizione perfetta, struttura spartana corrispondente alla descrizione. Camera abbastanza grande con piccolo armadio a muro molto comodo per riporre le valigie. Non c’è aria condizionata/riscaldamento, ma con le temperature trovate in città siamo stati benissimo ugualmente. Personale molto gentile! L’hotel non ha un parcheggio ma a pochi passi ce ne sono diversi, quello che abbiamo usato aveva un costo di 36$ a notte. Lo consiglio se si cerca un hotel a un buon prezzo, senza fronzoli, in una zona della città bella e strategica

Cons:

Se ci fosse stato un piccolo frigo in camera sarebbe stato molto comodo, ma non è stato un grande problema

Nicht zu empfehlen und entspricht nicht der Realität
Pros:

Beschreibung und Bilder entsprechen nicht der Realität.

Cons:

Zimmer ganz anders als erwartet und weicht von den Bildern ab.
Sollte man mit dem Auto anreisen muss man gut zufuß sein da man 3 Blocks weiter Parken muss zudem mit beschränkten Öffnungszeiten.
Fahrstuhl ist etwas für sehr schmale Menschen und Gepäck wenn er dann mal funktioniert.

low quality in the central location
Pros:

we stayed on the top floor with high ceilings, that was the best part of the room.
It's super close to the China Town, walking distance to nice restaurants and ground transportation.
they offer luggage storage if your flight is later in the day.

Cons:

In general the hotel is quite run-down, would benefit from upgrading all the amenities and the furniture.

Céntrico en SF
Pros:

La ubicación súper céntrica en San Francisco, en la entrada misma de China Town. La comodidad de las camas, la limpieza.

Cons:

El piso hace muchísimo ruido al caminar, tanto que se escuchaba cuando los de arriba se movían y era imposible dormir a la noche. Tampoco me gustó el depósito de garantía que te piden aparte del precio que ya pagaste por la habitación
