Comfy room and was relatively quiet. They weren't aware that my booking included breakfast and had to show the booking each time, not a huge deal but not ideal. Breakfast was a selection of items from the cafe, although you have to ask it's not massively clear. No bag drop available. I would say that for the money the facilities offered here vs nearby hotels were not as good.

I stayed for one night. The room was small, but it was clean and tidy. However, there was no refrigerator in the room. I also felt that the windows were not well insulated because cold air kept coming in. I was not able to leave my luggage after check-out. They said there was no space available, but I think they accepted luggage storage later in the day yesterday. I’m not sure whether they really didn’t have any space or if they don’t allow luggage storage after check-out.

Got a great deal on this hotel. Located next to Union Square with a cable car stop right out front. Great shopping , tons of breakfast spots, good proximity to china town.The lobby is micro and you check yourself in on an iPad but all the staff have been very nice. The room is also micro - I do t mind this but there is no where to put a suitcase on the floor where you won’t trip on it. The sink is in the room which is super quirky. The biggest down side to this hotel is the neighbors, you can hear every move they make; every door opening; every shower. Our neighbors had a cold and cough all night long. Felt like they were in our room. Can you get a cold through the wall?! For the price I paid I’ll look past this but if I had paid full price I would be making a huge fuss.
