Being that it was our first trip to SF, my friend recommended that we stay near Union Sq just to be able to get all the touristy things/shopping in easily....

This hotel was horrible! The pictures on the website make it look nice and it is the dirtiest, smallest, unsafe hotel around. For $90 a night, ...

If you're a finicky traveler, go pay a couple hundred a night at the Hilton. For under a $100, this makes a nice crash pad and home base. You...

First off when u walk into the hotel it smelt like mildew throughout the lobby. We were placed in a room that was smaller than my closet. The hotel was under construction from the 2nd to 4th Floor and the whole hallways were torn apart. We had to shimmy through the tiny hallway to our room passing ladders, beds, railings, and shopvacs placed on the side of one wall on the floor. Then we had to hold our breathe from the fumes from the oil base paint, not to mention listen to the hammering and echo through the walls of the paint spray guns. The smell was HORRIBLE! Once in our room the carpet was dirty and didnt even meet the tile into the bathroom. I immediately opened the windows (which had no screens and were wastehigh on the 5th floor) in order to get some fresh air. When I contacted travel website because they are suppose to inform u of any construction going on in the building prior to arriving, they said, "let me get a supervisor for u" and left me on hold till my cell phone died. There was never another response from them and no attempt was ever made to make things better for us. We had no where else to go and were stuck in this hotel. Literally we slept and left til it was time to sleep again. It ruined my whole vacation I couldnt wait to go home!

This hotel is in a really convenient location. It is in china town, about 1 block inside the gate, but very convenient to everything. There is a trolly stop about a block away that goes right to the wharf. It's a short walk to union square, and a few blocks the other way to little italy. The best part of San Francisco is enjoying the different neighborhoods, so this was a really great place to stay. One morning we even walked all the way to fisherman's wharf. It only took about 30 minutes at a leisurely pace. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. The lobby is nicely decorated. Our room was another story though. The furnishings are very outdated. The room was very small, maybe 10 by 15 feet. The bathroom was equally small with a toilet, a tiny sink, and a small stand up shower. The only window faced into the tiny courtyard, so no view at all. The room itself was less than I expected, but for the amount of time we spent in there it wasn't really a problem. Overall, we were quite pleased with our stay. A bonus to staying in china town is that you can get all of your souvenirs right by your hotel at a bargain price compared to the gift shops by the pier.

I had high expectations for this hotel based on its reviews and photos on the internet. However, when I arrived in SF, I found that my room was nothing like what was represented. Our room looked out into an enclosed alley which was dark and dirty. The room, while clean, had peeling paint, stains from leaking water, loose electrical outlets, and uncomfortable beds. There is no A/C (which we didn't need anyway) but there was also no way to conrol the heat in the room when it got cold. The TV remote didn't work, either. We stayed in a two-twin bed room, and it was VERY tiny. There were no amentities to speak of, although I wasn't expecting much for the reasonable room rate. Staff was courteous, but not overly helpful. If you must stay in the heart of Chinatown, then I guess this hotel is okay...but I wouldn't recommend it for more than a one-night pit stop.

Bare bones hotel with great location.Not much at this price in SF,but if you just need a bed and homebase the Grant will do.

My husband and I were there to see San Francisco, not to spend the whole time in the room so we normally do not go after the big luxary suite. We felt safe where we were and the people at the front desk are nice and helpful. We had no really problems with the room. Everything worked, bed and bathroom were clean and no visible spiders but paying close to * a night for this room just so we could have our own bathroom was not worth it. I will not do that again. We could have stayed at the Motel 6 or the EconoLodge. The room that we had was more like an old type of sleeping room for passer-by travelers then for any type of romantic getaway. I would recommend it as a place to leave your bags while you do your thing in San Francisco but not at * a night.

I've stayed at the hotel three times in 1990, 2006 and 2007. Simple and basic rooms for active tourists who really need clean, convenient place to stay. The staff is very courteous.
