    Location was great, and there’s always traffic in that area so the secured parking was well worth the extra cost just to have it. We needed to be in that area and there were just a few hotel options and I’m glad I picked the SW Hotel. The room was clean and comfortable, Had mini fridge, iron, TV, everything you’d expect. Front desk is manned 24 hours with secured in and out door service. AC worked great too. Will definitely come back to stay here again. No biggie, but no bring a cube for your USB plug in devices. Front desk had loaners though and there’s a Walgreens nearby for other convenience essentials you forget. Nothing negative to note, just a little FYI on what to expect or not expect.

    The location is ideal walking distance to many San Francisco points of interest such as North Beach, Chinatown, and Fisherman’s Wharf. It was very noisy into the night with people frequenting bars and restaurants nearby.

  • Engine customer Feb 2026

    A nearby live house was open with its doors left open, and loud music could be heard until around 2 a.m., causing significant discomfort.

    They put us next to our friend so that we had adjoining rooms. So fun!

  • Engine customer Nov 2025

    Good location, esp for China Town and North Beach. Easy to get around. Room was good size and very quiet Hotel was very quiet - apart from reception staff, I didn't see anyone else which felt a little isolating as a solo traveller. But the hotel itself was v good for the price

  • Engine customer Oct 2025

    Staff was very friendly. Would have been nice to have a safe in the room and coffee available in the lobby.

  • Engine customer Oct 2025

    The look of this whole hotel is very old, they haven't upgraded to card locks. There is a cupboard inside the room where one of the knob was broken Too expensive for the quality of stay, wish it was cheaper. No breakfast
