Pros:

Comodo a pochi passi dalla via principale e da china town

Cons:

Personale poco reattivo alla reception. Mezz’ora per il check-in. Richiesto chiaramente un conto unico e invece ci hanno scalato le 4 camere da 4 carte diverse. Bagno nella “hall” chiuso e non utilizzabile

Clean and comfortable stay near Union Square
Pros:

Great location and well appointed room. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

Cons:

The air conditioning struggled to do much. The room was hotter than it was outside and it was not possible to open any of the windows for natural air.

Pleasant stay, friendly staff and comfortable stay.
Pros:

I liked the idea that it is in the heart of union square.
Everything is walking distance. Bar and restaurant inside the hotel! Shoutout to the bartender super friendly gentleman and makes some good drinks.

Cons:

I did not like the A/C was running the whole night.
No remote control.
You can easily hear people walking by and talking next door. The stairs from floors 2-6 are very squeaky, makes a lot of noise when you walk.
Traffic is crazy loud at certain points of time.

Pros:

I love this place!!!!!!!!! Ohshun, the front desk guy, is so welcoming, I always look forward to his wonderful smile and greeting, each time I stay here. This is my home away from home.

Cons:

The elevator takes like 5 business days to get down and up. And it’s the only one. It’s one of the only long standing elevators in SF that function in the way they do, so there was some understanding but also dislike

It was ok but wont recommend
Pros:

It was clean.

Cons:

The location was near the tunnel and under bridge so lot of homeless people were outside the hotel and at night it didnt felt safe outside the hotel. The elevator was very old. The water pressure was very low, for reference we stayed on 7th floor. There was no phone for calling reception or anything. There were very less charging outlets.
