10.0Excellent location
Liked mostThis hotel is on Bush Street right next to the Chinatown gate. The hotel feels new (opened in 2006), decor is modern and everything in good condition. We had a superior king room on the 10th floor with good light and a great city view, floor is carpeted. Comfortable bed (firm enough) with good quality cotton sheets. It's not the largest one in its category but has adequate space for two people except there is only one chair to sit on. The bathroom however is enormous with 2 sinks, separate shower and tub (although the shower head could be more updated). Small fridge, safe and keurig coffee maker, glass mugs and even wine glasses. There is also a glass carafe you can use to refill drinking water - from a purifying machine on the 7th floor. Restaurant on lobby level serving à la carte breakfast. Small gym but business center has a printer and two computers. Lobby not big but is pleasant and has seating and microwave for shared use. There is also a rooftop terrace with nice views. Location is convenient to Chinatown, Embarcadero as well as Union Square. The neighborhood feels safe at all times. About 4 blocks from the BART Montgomery Street station. Small grocery store on Bush towards Orchard hotel (sister hotel). Large Chinese supermarket (probably the largest in Chinatown) in basement on Jackson near corner of Grant. Abundant food options - restaurants and coffee shops in the same block and around. Not to mention all the Chinese restaurants and dim sum carryout places up Grant towards center of Chinatown.
