Nice basic hotel with none of the frills (AC, insulation from street noise, fridge). I’m lucky that I brought ear plugs with me. Would stay again for only for one night.

This is an older property that could use some upgrading. However, you can't beat the price for a hotel in SFO CBD. Lots of dinning options locally. Plenty of public transport nearby. Or get a driverless cab.

It's a room with a bed and bathroom in a convenient location. Could of been cleaned better but it's really old. Had to go across the street everyday to buy waters or snacks. Parking in the garage was close about $46 per day. Check in was easy, staff was available at the desk when towels were needed. Housekeeping was offered if requested before 9am, but prefer to keep things clean myself.

A very nice hotel conveniently located near China town and only 15 minute walk to little Italy as well. No thrills or frills. But a very tidy and clean room which is basically all you need. I have no problem staying again when I need to.

Cant call this place plaza. Is an old building with minimum maintenance. Everything is very old. The bathtub was disgusting with a big black spot on it. The window didn’t have a screen at all and we had to leave the window open bcuz was very hot. Kids easily can fall from window. This is not a safe place for kids. I don’t suggest this place for families. Or someone that looks for a clean and nice place.

Hotel is very basic. Rooms are small, but thats old San Francisco for you. If you are use to something super classy, you are going to be disappointed. Our room was fine, our bedding had some stains and the bathroom linens were very poor quality, but it did the job. We spent very little time in the room. The location is great. This is literally on the corner of the Dragon Gate. Walking distance to virtually everything. If you plan on doing bus tours, you are right by Union Square where they start/stop. Lots of shopping and dining options around the hotel. Pier 39 and Oracle Park are a 35 min walk from the hotel through beautiful areas and points of interest.

The staff is incredibly friendly, they are always there 24/7 and are a big help whenever you need it The building itself needs a renovation, the doors in the bathroom wouldn’t close unless you slammed them, windows had to be slammed shut and were nearly impossible to get reopen, and lastly probably the worst one is the elevator the things is so rickety and shakes the whole way up and down. When I was on that elevator it shook opened and closed the doors then wouldn’t move from the floor, that honestly needs to be fixed before it results in a lawsuit. The room is also nothing as advertised all photos you see of the bathrooms and rooms are definitely not what you get when you show up. The location of the place is amazing and the staff are amazing that is about all I can say nicely about this hotel.

Beds were clean but everything else was dusty, old, and stained. Definitely need a renovation soon. Location is prime next to China town. No AC in the room, the ceiling fan works with the light always on and there is no way to keep the light off without turning the fan off. Elevator needs an inspection soon, it felt like it was hanging from a thread. I call the number on file and the one on Google and it took at least 25+ calls to get to someone from the front desk. Expedia advised that check in time is 4p-11p when its actually till 2am. We just needed a place to crash but overall not the best experience. It was a last minute booking so it was kind of expected but dropped the bar significantly

Let us get 2 rooms last minute. Staff was super helpful and kind. I will say the rooms on the street side were very noisy due to chinatown traffic, lots of honking and yelling in middle of night bit other than that it was a nice stay.

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.
