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

TRES CHER POUR CE QUE C'EST
Pros:

L'emplacement.

Cons:

La propreté laisse à désirer avec des taches sur le sol, les draps, les rideaux, avec des cheveux sur les draps et même dans la serviette, le parking très loin, peu d'espace dans la chambre et la salle de bain, proche de la route, très peu isolée, très lumineux même la nuit. La dames de ménage ne fait pas la poussière au-dessus des meubles. TRES CHER POUR LA NUIT.

Great quick getaway
Pros:

This waa a great little getaway for us. The staff was wonderful. Very friendly and helpful. We came to see the Phantom of the Opera and staff was able to suggest many options for getting to and from the Orpheum Theater. When we decided that we wanted to stay an extra day the young lady at the desk was very accommodating and had another room for us to stay that extra night. The mattresses were a bit stiff and there is no air conditioning but the windows open enougj to make it comfortable enough that we would stay again. Parking is not on the grounds and the garage is a couple of big blocks away but I did feel safe leaving my truck there for 48 hours straight. Overall our visit was enjoyable we had great accomodations and look forward to staying in the heart of Chinatown again at the Grant Plaza Hotel.

Schrecklich
Pros:

Nie wieder! Extrem schlecht, Zimmer riecht übel, Badezimmer ekelhaft, Betten ebenso schlecht. Preisleistungsverhältnis gar nicht angemessen
Das ist kein Hotel sondern ein billiges Hostel
, wenn ich könnte würde ich MINUS Sterne vergeben
