Cheap, clean, great location.

So, it is what it is, not bad, not great. It is very reasonable and I love Chinatown/Financial District, food and bars are fantastic. I'd go back.

Martin

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
The staff was nice but she was one person, a cleaning lady. My room was above the bar so I could hear every bass line from every song until 3am each night. That's when the music from the Irish Bank next door didn't overcome the music from the bar below. (The bar is amazing though). Just not so quiet. I only found 1 cockroach on my final day so I count this as a victory.

The in room refrigerator was set to the coldest setting which caused a nice bottle of wine and some food to freeze. Very loud banging (maybe construction) at 6 am for at least 2 hours. No personnel to check you in or out and no room service either.

Very unique property design and style, especially the rooms. Loved the area, right beside Chinatown and a couple blocks from high-end designer stores. Never felt unsafe.

Cool little hotel in the Middle of it All

Excellent location! Across the street from the Dragon Gate. Cool little hotel, very artsy as the name implies. These are basic rooms, very comfortable but a Victorian bathtub/shower. Perfect for our purposes but we only had the room to sleep in.

Great location.

Perfect location… across the street from Chinatown’s moon gate, located by several bars and restaurants. Easy walk to BART. Room was small but enough space for comfort. Bed was just ok.

Bush street - get a room away from the road !

Bush street is very loud and since rooms are assigned at checkin there is no way to change rooms or even inquire. We did get early checkin so that was good.
