La ubicación.

Cons:

Cama super dura y almohada que parecía piedra. El baño se atascaba y no tragaba agua y para colmo me encontré un grillo en la habitación.

Pokémon adventure in San Francisco
Pros:

Was cheap and close to the venue I was competing at. Bathroom was clean and looks newly remodeled.

Cons:

Bed was really hard and only a full size, room was really small. No fridge, microwave, or dinning area in the lobby. Elevator sounded like you were going to get stuck everytime you got on it. It was at the top of s huge hill that walking up after an all day event was painful.

Short and sweet stay with nice view and good facilities.
Pros:

I loved the location being near the China town gate and there weren’t many homeless around the area. My view was also very nice.

Cons:

There was a slightly funky smell but that’s probably just due to the age of the building and it went away after we opened the windows.
