The hotel is conveniently close to Chinatown and Union Square, near shops and bus stops. The rooms offer good amenities and come with their own bathroom facilities, even with the windows open and a fan on. The service is reliable with efficient housekeeping, commercial services available, and laundry facilities. However, the dining options with homemade pies and jams are not extensive.

This hotel is in the heart of beautiful San Francisco, close to Chinatown, Union Square, and everything you could want to explore. The rooms are above a lively bar but still comfortable with good amenities. The service is attentive and convenient. The dining options offer hand-made pasta, adding to the authentic experience. A great value if you don't mind a bit of background noise from the bar.
