On my first night, I found a wiggling maggot on the duvet. The hotel's handling of the situation was also a bit confusing. They only had housekeeping come to confirm and change the sheets and duvet, and I had to request a room change myself. They also told me their security manager would come talk to me. I don't understand what there was to talk about, it's not like I witnessed a **. (This part was left as is due to the unusual placeholder, assuming it's an intentional blank or code for something non-translatable directly.) I directly asked what benefit this would be to me. I was already very unhappy about the incident; I might have been a bit happier if they upgraded my room or offered me vouchers. They didn't respond and simply gave up on talking to me, saying they would write their report based on their own understanding. What else? Could talking to me lead to a new understanding? I was quite shocked that they made no attempt to appease me. Later, my friends told me that's just how the service industry is in the US. I haven't compared, so I can't comment. The breakfast restaurant, front desk, concierge, etc., were all acceptable and within normal expectations. I wonder if their procedures when something goes wrong would be just as 'magical'.

Free parking is available, and there are some small restaurants conveniently located near the hotel. Bus routes 28 and 30, which cover classic sightseeing spots, are right nearby and offer direct access to Fisherman's Wharf, the Golden Gate Bridge, and the Palace of Fine Arts. It would be even better if breakfast was included. The room was quite clean, but since it's next to the road, it can sometimes be a bit noisy in the morning and evening.

Great location, just a few minutes' walk to the pier and some restaurants nearby, plus there's a Trader Joe's right next door. The room was spacious, I even felt like the sofa could fit another person, haha. As other reviews mentioned, the AC unit is quite noisy, but I was so tired that I fell asleep right away.

This is a good budget hotel for its category, especially if you book in advance. It's close to Union Square, Chinatown, and Little Italy. The famous Cable Car is just a 10-minute walk away. On a parallel street, about 5 minutes away, there are several nice cafes with excellent breakfast options. The room itself was spacious and clean, with daily housekeeping. The shower room was fresh, and the tiles and fixtures were in excellent condition. There's also a coffee machine in the room. The front desk staff were pleasant, and it was particularly nice to meet a fellow countrywoman, Julia, who was very kind and resolved our small requests twice. Thank you so much, dear Julia, for your kind help and warm welcome!

This hotel offers great value for money. The rooms are incredibly clean and tidy, with no carpets to worry about, and absolutely no strange smells. They're also quite spacious, even featuring a desk that can double as a dining table. The front desk staff are exceptionally nice, sweet, and attentive. The hotel provides a complimentary breakfast. While simple, it includes essentials like bread, coffee, hot water, and fruit. There's even a microwave available for heating food. Having stayed at four or five hotels in San Francisco this trip, I can say that although this one has a small, unassuming facade and feels like a niche hotel, it's clean and tidy. The surrounding area can feel a bit dodgy at night, so it's best to stay in. However, its facilities and service are comparable to a four-star hotel, making for a very comfortable stay. Plus, there's a parking lot right next door, which is very convenient. Overall, this hotel offers excellent value and I highly recommend it.

Great value for money! If you're traveling solo in San Francisco and want to avoid hostels, this is a fantastic option. Check-in is strictly after 3 PM, and check-out is by 11 AM, but they didn't rush me even though I was a little late checking out. It's located in a quiet neighborhood.

I really have to thank Trip.com. Even though there was a mix-up due to a last-minute cancellation, Trip.com intervened very quickly. The stay itself was quite good, it's just a shame the hotel doesn't offer breakfast, but there's nothing that can be done about that.

Facilities: Fully equipped. Cleanliness: Very clean. Environment: This was my first time seeing an elevator like this; I'd only ever seen them in movies before. Breakfast: I loved the yogurt and the apples; the apples were very fresh. The front desk staff was very helpful and even asked if I needed help calling a taxi. I would definitely consider staying at this hotel again next time I'm in San Francisco 😊

We were very satisfied with the staff’s service and the simple breakfast, which had a small but well-curated selection. However, it would be helpful to inform guests in advance that connecting rooms are not available. We experienced several infrastructure issues, including loud bathroom fan noise (even after changing rooms), a TV remote not working due to battery problems, and occasional elevator outages, which caused inconvenience for both guests and staff. Despite this, the staff’s service mindset was excellent
