    The location was great, just next to chinatown. We walked to the Pier and Lombard street. You have 2 showers and one bath in one floor, so that’s good.

    Unbeatable location. Spotlessly clean. I was pleasantly surprised to get a nice view this time! Comfortable hotel. Another advantage is that you can cook some simple meals downstairs.
