The hotel is in a prime location, with easy access to various attractions and amenities. However, the rooms are outdated, small, and not as clean as expected, with several guests reporting issues with bedding, bathroom cleanliness, and unpleasant odors.

    This is a classic European style hotel. It is not shiny and new but that is part of the charm. It literally feels like you are in a small Paris hotel with all that entails. To further the feeling of Paris there are three excellent French bistros within a block. Yes it is also right next to the Chinatown gate. There are so many different cuisines and great restaurants in the area. Chinatown and “little Europe” all at the same hotel. Just don’t be disappointed when there are no 1200 thread count sheets. Food picture is from nearby restaurant.

    Everything worked and the location was pretty good. Other than that, wasn’t the cleanest and kind of poorly maintained for the age of the building. I would say worth the price though and it worked pretty good for our trip considering we only used it to sleep.

    The room was comfortable but a bit small. It came with a fridge though there did not seem to be a microwave available for guests. The hotel is located right near Chinatown, so there are many good food options nearby, and the view from the window was great. Just note that luggage storage before checkin or after checkout may come with an extra fee. Overall it was a comfortable stay with a convenient location.

    if you’re looking for a card key (for security that shows who’s been in your room if needed) instead of an actual key (w a hotel tag that shows hotel address and room number) then forget this place. one shaky elevator for 7 floors but there is a staircase. wall heater but no a/c. there’s a reason this was the cheapest hotel during my SF stay of 3/24-3/28. everywhere else was sold out. the area is ok. right by the start of chinatown at Bush/Grant. Pass if you can unless you’re desperate for a room.

    The room itself feels poorly maintained and far below standard. I honestly don’t understand how this place has good ratings. My experience was extremely disappointing. The staff were fine, and I did feel safe as a solo girl traveler, but that’s the only positive. If you have the budget, do not stay here. It’s absolutely not worth it.

    The location is decent, but the property is very aged. The rooms are big enough, but everything in them is quite old and unkept. The bed wasn't comfortable, the desk looked 30+ years old, the shower was at the level of my neck, and the bathroom counter could barely hold my small toiletry bag. This property needs a major update and the rooms need all new furniture and amenities. Towels were quite rough and old too.

    Friendly staff. The Expedia listing for this property does not align with the actual amenities: there is no breakfast provided (staff said the Expedia listing was old and out of date) and the “queen” was actually a full size bed (staff said that was the “same size as all of the beds” listed as queen). The location was great and easy to access. The room was clean. The elevator went out on the last day we were there but the staff were really friendly and offered complimentary luggage storage to help offset the inconvenience. That was really kind. Overall a good stay.

    I have to travel here frequently for medical treatment, The Price is Right at this hotel and it is centrally located. The staff is always very kind and courteous the hotel itself has a nice historic vibe. The rooms are a little hit and miss. The rooms are always clean but some of them are a little run down and shabby. This time my room had a small desk with an aluminum folding chair for the seat. I think it would have been better off just not having anything then to put an aluminum folding chair in. I take those things in good humor and remind myself how much I'm paying to stay and night in San Francisco. The shower in this room was top notch it was one of the highlights of the trip.

    I attended a weekend conference and did not want to stay at the $400/night hotel, so I chose SF Plaza as a less expensive alternative. The area was safe and a short walk to Embarcadero. The room was fairly quiet and comfortable. The heater did not work (only the fan did). The room was basically cleaned but not thoroughly (found an empty liquor bottle under the bed)

    Okay so this was one of the inexpensive options and it was phenomenal for what it was, the location was immaculate it’s actually right next to SF’s Chinatown and Union Square. Now the hotel’s cleanliness is up for question it was hairs all over the bathroom (that were not mines) but it could have been a custodians hair, the overall cleanliness did make me skeptical but I survived lol. It really is what you pay for but it was decent :)

    The hotel does not offer any amenities listed. The profile said airport shuttle service. I called to confirm on my arrival to learn they do not offer shuttle service. Keep in mind my flight arrived10pm. The gap between the door frame and doors made door security an issue. The window was open when i entered the room. I closed the window to find it did not lock at all. Keep in mind they placed me on a floor where window access was easy. The bed sheets were dirty, the bathroom was dirty, towels smelled and swemed to be poorly washed. Very motel-ish (if u know what i mean....as in hourly motel-ish.).in addition they advertise breakfast this is also not true the hotel does not have a kitchen. And doesnot offer breakfast as advertised.This place was so bad i checked out 10min after checking in and went to another hotel at almost 1am. .DO NOT waste ur money. I am still in communucation with hotels.com about this place and their false advertisement concerning amenities and more importantly the saftey of the guest in this hotel. 1th Th

    Like a lot of mid-priced hotels in SF, this is a good value in a good location but it could use renovation. The rooms are fine, the beds are fine, the bathrooms are OK. It just feels all a bit dilapidated. But well kept and staff were friendly, and the hotel is just fine. Given how outrageous the prices have gotten in SF, it's a good value. Rooms are small but adequate. And you are near chinatown and union square, easy walk to Market Street. Nothing was bad, it's just an older small hotel with a bit of a charming run-down feel.

    For what it was, it was okay. However the premium room was still tiny, very dingy and unclean. There was hair everywhere and rice and peanuts down on the floor. However, the bedding looked clean and everything worked including a fridge and microwave (although the fridge did freeze my stuff as it was up on max!). The location was good, right next to the Dragon Gate and staff were very friendly and nice so points for that! If you want some space, more amenities and a cleaner experience, I’d advise spending a little more but otherwise it did the job for somewhere to sleep

The bathroom had mold in the grout, there was someone else's hair on all the sheets and blankets, the ground under the bed looks like it hasn't been cleaned in years. The bed and pillows were very uncomfortable and there was no AC so we had to keep the windows open all night leading to a very loud night. No clue how tp get out of the building in case of fire and the elevator bounces when you're on it.

    The room was extremely dirty. And the windows wouldn’t close properly letting all the very loud noise from outside all night long. There were people yelling and laughing in the street well past 2:00am. I actually left mid stay because the conditions were so poor, and was not given a refund for the days I was not staying. I travel to SF for work quite frequently and I will never stay at this property again.

    The most nastiest hotel ever. The bathroom was dirty and the sheets had stains. The staffs changed my room but the new room was in same condition. I had to check out within an hour. I did not wanted to sleep in a dirty bed. I had to pay for the first night even when I did not stay the night but I just wanted to get out of there. The elevator shakes and makes noise so that is definitely a safety hazard.

    Shower faucet was missing a knob. There was no way to change the temperature. Staff installed one the next day but they shouldn't be giving out a room in that condition. There were light bulbs that were burned out that I didn't bother to tell the front desk about. There's steps going into into the bathroom you wouldn't expect but no night lights to guard against tripping (I came close to having a serious injury twice).

    Windows did not close all the way allowing outside noise into the room at all hours. The worst part was after getting up the next morning and packing up and witnessed something crawling on the edge of the bed, I grabbed my phone and took a picture, it was a cockroach! I had a small empty jar and was able to capture it and will address it with management. I will request a full refund, really... cockroach's that just disgusting and not at all expected.

    * My bed had no bedspread - no quilt, duvet, nothing, despite the pics on the website. Just sheets. I requested one at the desk and they gave me a small blanket. Furthermore the bed had no fitted sheet, just another topsheet tucked around the mattress and over some kind of weird felt pad. It immediately came loose and made for a bad night of sleep. * The Internet was completely insufficient for any kind of work-related usage

    **for the price**, it is good. This is a very bare-bones hotel - no kettle, no fridge, no bar, no restaurant, no amenities. You can get hot water in the lobby, bring your own mug (only small plastic cups available), for example. But wifi was good, water hot, safe area, minimal (for downtown) noise, very-tall elegant ceilings, windows can open for fresh air (but no screens), bed was surprisingly comfy; hint: get a 2bed room to use the extra pillows and blanket.

    Staff was extremely rude. I only brought enough cash to pay for the room and when I went to check in the lady at the front desk told me I need a $100 cash deposit that I would get back at the end so we needed to find an atm. The lady was extremely rude about it and when my friend left to go get some cash withdrawn she was talking with the other person at the desk insulting my friends and I in Spainish- not knowing that I understand Spainish well enough to understand what she is saying. When we went to check out they didn't want to give the $100 deposit back. The room was not clean. There was hair all in the bed sheets along with other signs that the sheets had not been cleaned. And to top it off the elevator was the single slowest one I've ever been on. You get what you pay for I guess. Also super hard to find parking anywhere around it.

    The hotel area was a good area because it’s kinda busy since it’s right next to china town so when you’re walking around you’ll feel safe. The staff was really kind and they also had luggage storage available. The only issue we had was how outdated it was and the bed was extremely uncomfortable. I felt like I was sleeping on rocks. I did notice that every time someone flushed the toilet and you’re in the shower, the water gets hotter every time someone flushed. Also, the walls are so thin you could literally hear everyone in the room nearby or walking up and down the stairs. Overall, the staff were super kind and made us feel really comfortable during our stay!!!
