The room was in good condition. It was nothing fancy, just a room you would expect from a 3 star hotel. It was comfortable and in a good location. It felt safe and you could walk to close-by restaurants, shops, and Union Square. The Asian receptionist was very helpful, and a real sweetheart. I would stay there again.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
First of all, yes, I understood this was a budget hotel and yes, I kept my expectations low. I’ve stayed at many and never been as disappointed as I was here. The rancid smell is overwhelming as soon as you walk in the door and permeates throughout the hotel including the room. I found several bugs, and woke up very itchy all over my body. The subpar conditions really are not acceptable and certainly not worth the little you’ll save by staying here.

While the hotel was definitely ever bit budget they tell you;)--the staff was really warm and helpful. The key card reader had some issues, but the staff works well and knows the quirks. I just rested my head here a night on my way to up to Portland, and it was all I needed. Warm shower and a bed(even if it wasn't the fluffiest thing in the world), WiFi, and the experience was just fine. Do be aware you hear street noise just outside, but my night actually wasn't bad for that.

Full disclosure, I only stayed here because every other room in the city was over $1k per night because of a conference. Location was convenient. Spartan. No ice, no fridge, no safe. To its credit, the bathroom and shower were clean and comfortable. The shower had great pressure and hot water. The bed was hard as a rock, no side sleeping possible. Noway could 2 people fit in my “petit” room. The pull-down “desk” was barely big enough for my laptop.

not for solo females

if you are a FEMALE SOLO TRAVELER, DO NOT STAY HERE. The owner, who is also female ANNOUNCED my room number OUT LOUD at the front desk. out of all my travels, i have NEVER had any desk attendant shout out my room number. Although there was only 1 other male customer at the counter, it shows how careless she was. BEING SAFE means alot to me and it should to you as well.
