You get what you pay for

by Bezeleeny

This hotel is super affordable even during peak seasons, but you seriously would get what you pay for. Location is great - walking distance to the train which takes you to and from the airport, union square (do all your shopping), and visitor's center where you get all the maps, hop on the trolley, etc. Cons are there wasn't enough hot water on the first day. The days afterwards were fine but not great. The showerhead seems a bit outdated as the water trickles out like a faucet instead of gushing. My "do not disturb" sign was swiped my from doorknob (not the hotel's fault of course). Not sure about other rooms, but my room had this huge (about 4 feet tall and 3 feet wide) window with no screens and facing a back alley! This place is great for those just need a place to store luggage and sleep while they spend most of the day exploring.

• Pros: Location
• Cons: No window screens

Terrible experience

by Luis007

If you want to feel like in one of depressive movies by David Lynch then you surely must visit this hotel. Dark, narrow corridors, peculiar patches on the carpets, specific stench, tiny dark rooms and no windows. What more could you expect?

My experience from the second floor was terrible and believe me that I had to escape from this hotel immediately. It is hardly to believe it if you have a look at official webpages of this hotel which are professional but don't reflect the reality!!! I would have never come back to this hotel.

• Pros: Location
• Cons: Everything else

Good value hotel, Nice neighbourhood.

by hollywoodtoo

We came back to stay at this hotel again and found they have replaced all the furniture, which is much cozy than before. The staffs still provide very friendly service and we were upgraded to the top floor rooms since they recognized us as returned guests. We have a good time in China town, and the hotel is only few blocks away from Union Square. We met our friends at the Ritz Carlton Hotel which is just up the street from this hotel. I would recommend this to my friends now that they have new furnishings, it is very good value. The location is also very safe and convenient to every where we want to go.

• Pros: Location, Price and friendly staff
• Cons: small room
