This is a great property to stay for the price. It’s cozy and the location is walking distance from Union Square and Chinatown. Transportation from Muni, BART, and. Cable car stop is nearby. A liquor store is conveniently located next to the hotel for any water or small snacks or items. The walls are thin so you can hear people talking or leaving their rooms sometimes but otherwise it’s relatively quiet. Our room was near an alley so we were able to hear the noise from outside. This is a nice place to stay so I’m happy with this hotel for a short trip. Also an attendant is posted at the front desk 24 hours a day, making check in and late check in, in our case easy.

Very friendly and helpful. No restaurant on site, but a nice coffee shop next door. Rooms and bathroom large and nicely decorated, loved the choice of books 😊. You can take the BART service to the hotel, just exit Powell St and walk up Powell to Sutter. Cost of BART is about $11, and taxi is close to $50. Lovely restaurant near by called Roxanne Cafe at Powell and Bush (loved the dinner menu). Keep in mind that almost all of the restaurants close around 10pm.
