8.6
Multiple reviewers note rooms and premises are clean and well-maintained, though a few mention missed cleanings and occasional hygiene concerns in some rooms.
Service
6.8
Staff are described as friendly and amazing by several guests, but there are repeated complaints about automated check-in confusion, slow/no responses via text/phone, and inconsistent front-desk support.
Location
9.3
Consistently praised for central placement (near BART, Chinatown, transit); convenient for sightseeing though some guests found the area sketchy at night.
Room Quality
6
Rooms are modern and comfortable for solo guests for many, but numerous complaints about very small 'sky' or matchbox rooms, limited storage, and open/shared toilet layouts reducing privacy.
Amenities
6.5
Basic amenities present (all-day coffee, modern facilities) but limited in-room features (no kitchenette/fridge in many rooms) and incidental hold practices noted as a drawback.
Value for Money
8.7
Many guests highlight excellent value and competitive pricing; some offsetting issues (incidentals held, unexpected charges) reduce perceived value for a minority.
Food and Beverage
5.5
Breakfast repeatedly described as minimal/basic (coffee, dispenser cereal, tiny pastries) with little variety and limited daily change.
Overall Experience
7.8
Generally positive stay driven by location, cleanliness and helpful staff, tempered by small room sizes, breakfast limitations and occasional service/amenity issues.

Toilet situation= solo travelers only.
Pros:

Close to BART and other transit. Perfectly clean.

Cons:

The toilet is completely out in the open as if the room were a prison cell. The photos try to hide this fact. If you are traveling as a couple this would be very uncomfortable. I felt uncomfortable with it even as a solo traveler.

The "breakfast" is really just coffee, cereal from dispensers, and tiny cheap pastries. Any chain motel can put out something better.

The area is sketchy at night.

Pros:

Die Lage war gut in Chinatown. Zimmer groß. Allerdings die hygienische Umstände nicht sehr schön. Grundsätzlich kann man das Hotel mieten.

Cons:

Die Zimmer hätten sauberer sein können, die Größe der Räume war ok. Die Lage auch gut. Frühstück typisch amerikanisch sehr schlecht.
