Most of the staff was very courteous, and nice to interface with. The room was cold, and gave me a cold. Yes, they have a built-in heater, but old wiring, which is why the arrival of the small refrigerator came with the caveat that you can't plug in the fridge and the microwave at the same time. And there was no maid service for 5 days.

Very dated property with dirty windows. Bedding was clean. Reception Staff were nonchalent. Advised shuttle to airport (as advertised) had not been available for 2 years. Cheap accommodation in good location right next to china town. Lovely cafe on opposite corner.

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

Ideal location, don’t expect much

Great location. Stayed here bc the city was so full with Dreamforce there was no other option. The hotel common areas carpet is very dirty and there was a musty smell throughout the stairways. Room carpets are old and shower looked dirty (but could have been so embedded in plastic floor unable to make look cleaner). Sheets looked clean. Beds seemed to just be boxes without real mattresses, but that made them seem cleaner.

Around the block from China Town. Very walkable to lots of restaurants and things to do. Now for the bad... the rooms are dirty. 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.
