    Room was very basic but clean and we felt safe in the area. Very walkable to Chinatown and Union Square. We parked at a nearby parking garage and had no issues with our vehicle. No refrigerator in the room. For the price I would stay here again

    Great place.

    I really enjoyed my stay at Grant Plaza Hotel. Built in the 1920s, the hotel has a unique charm and rich history that adds to the experience. The rooms are a bit small, and the online photos make them seem a little larger and more modern than they are, but everything was clean and well maintained. The beds were a little firm for my liking, but the outstanding staff more than made up for it. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and provided excellent customer service. For the price, it’s a great value, and I would definitely stay here again.

    It is an old and small hotel with a small friendly staff. Our room was spartan but utilitarian. It is not luxurious or fancy, does not serve breakfast, although they do have coffee in the morning. The shower was OK but the water pressure, and hence flow, was less than desirable. The bed was comfortable and the room temperature, although not thermostatically control in the individual room, was tolerable, even with the windows opened slightly, which was all the time from when we checked-in. They have wi-fi, and a TV in the room. This hotel suited us and our budget. I would stay there again.

    This waa a great little getaway for us. The staff was wonderful. Very friendly and helpful. We came to see the Phantom of the Opera and staff was able to suggest many options for getting to and from the Orpheum Theater. When we decided that we wanted to stay an extra day the young lady at the desk was very accommodating and had another room for us to stay that extra night. The mattresses were a bit stiff and there is no air conditioning but the windows open enougj to make it comfortable enough that we would stay again. Parking is not on the grounds and the garage is a couple of big blocks away but I did feel safe leaving my truck there for 48 hours straight. Overall our visit was enjoyable we had great accomodations and look forward to staying in the heart of Chinatown again at the Grant Plaza Hotel.

    It was clean and check in/out was easy and quick. Nice staff. They operate like its still COVID. No maid service, plastic everywhere, and everyone is masked. I was surprised there was no HVAC in the room. The windows open and there was a floor fan, but no thermostat. Its summer in SF so it was fine with windows open, but it was noisy. Can't imagine what they do in the winter. The mattress was like sleeping on a piece of cardboard that was on top of pillows. The pillows were small. Shower was clean and hot, but no conditioner. Only shampoo and body wash. For a quick stay its fine when you aren't in the room much. I wouldn't want to be in there all day.

    Overall, for the modest prize, 2 tums up.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Uncomfortable and ugly. The luggage cart was terrible too.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Good location for what I needed.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Room small for two people and luggage only one solid chair for seating no room air conditioning definitely the worst place I have stayed and will not be recommending it to people as a place enjoy while visiting San Francisco.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The location couldn’t be any better. Walking distance to many bars, restaurants and China town. My husband and I would definitely stay again. The bed wasn’t the most comfortable but everything else was great.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The rooms were very spacious and the bathroom was huge. Very clear and modern feeling. Location is great with market any many things nearby. The staff was a bit weird, some extremely helpful, some a bit rude (may be they don't understand english). The washroom near reception was really in a terrible environment.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Good location, the staff were friendly The beds were super hard, and there was dried toothpaste on the toilet lid. Also there wasn’t any air conditioning

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Great location. Walking distance to a lot of attractions. Lots of shops and restaurants nearby. We were not looking to be pampered. Just needed a place to sleep and it worked great.

    I've stayed here a lot before but I wonder if I'll stay here again, the front desk (man and woman) seemed like they were arguing. I figured that someone was probably smoking outside and the smell was wafting into the hotel, however, I was shocked to realize that the guy working the front desk was smoking inside the building! My bed was so hard it made me limp the first day after sleeping on it and the pillows were the small square pillows you find on a couch, I can't imagine its much more expensive to just get real pillows and do a deep clean within the rooms once in a while. I have always looked past the cleanliness and comfort because the location is so great but the customer service and the smoking and the lack of deep cleaning within the rooms is probably a no for me in the future. It's such a great hotel with so much potential, but it feels like they've kind of just given up and stopped doing regular maintenance. I used to love this hotel.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The hotel was exactly what I needed, relatively inexpensive, close to where I needed to go, the parking garage was a fair distance away from the hotel, but reasonable in price. The building is old, but they made the most out of it, the room was clean and the staff was friendly.
