The Urban San Francisco

Small but perfect for nightly sleep.

The room was clean and it’s perfect for backpackers. The staffs were really nice and it was right around china town so it was so easy to go around for food. Everything was amazing.

I stayed here during Super Bowl weekend and it was a grand surprise. The streets were very clean and no homeless people around. The room I stayed at was very clean. Bathrooms and shower clean as well. I stayed very close to Union square and a lot of options for food and shopping.

I wanted a nice, budget hotel that was better than average and this was it. I got a room with a single bed with attached bath. The room is very small, there is no closet, and the queen-size bed and armoire take up half of the floor space. There's no dresser and the one table is also small so you quickly run out of places to put things. The bathroom is surprisingly large though with no shelves and lacking handy towel racks. That said, the staff was attentive and helpful, the building felt very secure, and through worn in places, was neat and clean. The hotel location is right across the entrance to China Town on Grant St. Being San Francisco, there are plenty of coffee shops, eateries, and mini-markets a short walk in any direction. It's a ten-minute stroll to Embarcadero Plaza or Union Square. Despite the horror stories on the news about San Francisco, the neighborhood appeared pretty tame, lots of cops and armed security everywhere, hardly any homeless, and frankly, looked less sketchy than my hometown of Denver. So yes, this was a good choice for a hotel.
