The hotel rooms with new furniture, safe locks, and big closets were also very quiet, clean, and spacious, making for a nice stay. The service I received was professional, friendly, and accommodating despite some English language deficiency. The location felt safe with access to many good restaurants and attractions within walking distance. The dining mainly consisted of bad coffee and Fruit Loops cereal, but there were a variety of other options available. The facilities were sufficient, though there were some areas for improvement.

My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms had everything I needed and were very quiet, providing a comfortable experience. However, there was a noticeable musty smell of chemicals in the room. The service was friendly, but a bit scattered at times. The location was convenient with easy access to restaurants and shops, though it lacked a sense of security. The dining options were satisfactory, and the facilities met my basic needs.

The room we stayed in, despite being full of amenities and a comfortable bed, had a strong cigarette smoke smell, which was unpleasant as it was supposed to be a non-smoking room. The darkness of the room added to the discomfort.

The location was great, within walking distance to various eating places, Trader Joe's, and attractions like the cable car and Pier 39. However, a better sense of security could have been provided.

The hotel is conveniently located next to Trader Joe's and Walgreens, which was convenient but the sense of security could have been improved. The hotel caters to a mix of business travelers and construction workers.
