Reviews and Ratings
I truly enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The location is superb, near Chinatown and just a 10-minute walk from Montgomery BART, making it a convenient choice for exploring downtown. The rooms were kept very clean and the staff provided excellent service. However, the dining options, specifically for smoked fish, were not as satisfying as expected. Overall, a great value for money with a few minor drawbacks.
