"Great hotel"

Grant Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great location. I didn’t need anything fancy. They offer a decent room for an affordable price. The beds are very firm. Still slept good. There’s no ac unit but that’s a testament to the weather in SF. My only issue is that I could hear creaking from upstairs. You will probably be doing the same to your downstairs neighbor. And the walls were thin so I could hear neighbor snoring."

Chancellor Hotel on Union Square

"Staffs are nice, room is clean, and location is convenient to every where."

FOUND Hotel Carlton, Nob Hill

10/10 Excellent

"Me gustó mucho. Lo recomiendo"
