This hotel is only one block from the Chinatown and was recently renovated. It is highly recommended and very popular for budget travelers. The location is great and the service was alright. Its only one block from the Chinatown Gate, and you can easily walk to Little Italy which is a few blocks away and also walk to the pier and wharf if you want to. Cable cars are close as well.
Rooms are very small, equipped with remote TV and heater, but no air conditioning. And the people there are very nice and helpful. If you are like me that only spent 8 hours sleeping in there then you will have no problem. If you expect a lot out of a hotel (good amenities or cleaniness) then skip this hotel and stay at a chain. Don’t looking for luxury there or even a full 2 star hotel. This place is all about location!
