Okay - keep in mind this is NOT a 5 star hotel. The rate was excellent, the location, was excellent, the hotel was very clean, and the staff was super helpful. They also gave us a recommendation for a great Chinese restaurant. They did not have a coffee maker and refrig which would have been nice but they had a good hair dryer and a nice bed and a great shower. I would stay at this hotel again when I come to San Francisco again. Recommend as a solid tourist class hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful

I really enjoyed my stay at Grant Plaza Hotel. Built in the 1920s, the hotel has a unique charm and rich history that adds to the experience. The rooms are a bit small, and the online photos make them seem a little larger and more modern than they are, but everything was clean and well maintained. The beds were a little firm for my liking, but the outstanding staff more than made up for it. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and provided excellent customer service. For the price, it’s a great value, and I would definitely stay here again.

It is an old and small hotel with a small friendly staff. Our room was spartan but utilitarian. It is not luxurious or fancy, does not serve breakfast, although they do have coffee in the morning. The shower was OK but the water pressure, and hence flow, was less than desirable. The bed was comfortable and the room temperature, although not thermostatically control in the individual room, was tolerable, even with the windows opened slightly, which was all the time from when we checked-in. They have wi-fi, and a TV in the room. This hotel suited us and our budget. I would stay there again.

It was clean and check in/out was easy and quick. Nice staff. They operate like its still COVID. No maid service, plastic everywhere, and everyone is masked. I was surprised there was no HVAC in the room. The windows open and there was a floor fan, but no thermostat. Its summer in SF so it was fine with windows open, but it was noisy. Can't imagine what they do in the winter. The mattress was like sleeping on a piece of cardboard that was on top of pillows. The pillows were small. Shower was clean and hot, but no conditioner. Only shampoo and body wash. For a quick stay its fine when you aren't in the room much. I wouldn't want to be in there all day.

I've stayed here a lot before but I wonder if I'll stay here again, the front desk (man and woman) seemed like they were arguing. I figured that someone was probably smoking outside and the smell was wafting into the hotel, however, I was shocked to realize that the guy working the front desk was smoking inside the building! My bed was so hard it made me limp the first day after sleeping on it and the pillows were the small square pillows you find on a couch, I can't imagine its much more expensive to just get real pillows and do a deep clean within the rooms once in a while. I have always looked past the cleanliness and comfort because the location is so great but the customer service and the smoking and the lack of deep cleaning within the rooms is probably a no for me in the future. It's such a great hotel with so much potential, but it feels like they've kind of just given up and stopped doing regular maintenance. I used to love this hotel.

The hotel was exactly what I needed, relatively inexpensive, close to where I needed to go, the parking garage was a fair distance away from the hotel, but reasonable in price. The building is old, but they made the most out of it, the room was clean and the staff was friendly.

Location is perfect! Most everything you want to see is a few minutes walk or train ride away. Not many amenities are available if you plan to spend extended periods of time in the hotel, and it can get a bit noisy at night, but a great home base for all your city adventures. The food selection in the area is the true prize!

Lobby seems to be the only clean place. Easy check in. The rooms are not the best, there were stains on the floors, on the bed sheets, and on the walls. Not sure of what. Windows do not lock completely. Very loud. Beds are really hard.

Perfect for anyone wanting to visit Chinatown. Well maintained older building. Staff is great with helpful information about local eats and more modest local eateries. Had to check out earlier than expected but cancelation of my reservation was no problem and refunded the balance with no problems. Can't say enough about how good my stay was.

Certainly not the most luxurious of hotels, but a fantastic spot for the intrepid traveler that craves to be entrenched into the jowls of the city. Amazing central location in Chinatown with plenty of iconic landmarks both in manageable walking and driving distances.

Basically no street parking, but many parking garages nearby with open spaces at reasonable prices. As far as the rooms, I paid a bit extra for the deluxe rooms and was not disappointed. There do exist more barebones rooms for a cheaper rate, but I'm always under the impression that you get what you pay for. All in all, if you're just looking for a place to store your things and lay your head in your travels, the Grant Plaza Hotel gets it done!

Hotel was clean and staff was kind and helpful. The beds are very firm. Maybe too firm for most people. No AC in the rooms means you will need to open the windows if you run hot and the street noise can be very loud at night but what else can you expect for being in the middle of chinatown. Location was great being close to a lot of great food.

If you just need an affordable, clean place to sleep at night then this place fits the bill. The rooms are very small and there are virtually no amenities, just a TV (with a relatively small amount of channels) and liquid soap and shampoo in the shower. No mini-fridge or microwave, but it DOES have its own bathroom, which most other similarly priced hotels in SF do not have. No breakfast, snacks, or drinks of any kind. Definitely not a place to while away the hours, but a good, affordable place to bed down after a full day of activities.

The hotel is located in a pretty nice location, lots of places near by and restaurants. The hotel needs to be cleaned really well, it’s pretty dusty and not kept well. The hotel is also pretty worn down and there aren’t very many amenities to speak of, there’s an ice machine, vending machine, and the tv has a handful of working channel, no smart tv option. The bed is rock hard, at least for me and the shower is tiny but it’s a good price for what it is.

Convenient area for access to restaurants and public transit. Staff were kind and helpful. Hotel was clean and felt safe. Rooms were very small with no air conditioning, noisy radiator for heat, and no screens in windows. Walls were thin and could easily hear neighbors moving around and talking. Bed was quite firm. It was sufficient for my purposes (4 night stay for a conference) and very affordable, but it is quite basic.

Extremely Hard Bed, Difficult to unload suitcases at front entrance due to city traffic and available parking; difficult to “Lug” luggage from a nearby parking garage due to extreme steep hills/roads, if your young and strong the location is probably great, it is at the edge of Chinatown, No Fridge, Microwave or AC, Extremely loud traffic noise through the night due to old windows, Hotel Staff was trying their best to be helpful especially Ricky

Staff was accommodating to help me find a different room when I told him I felt unsafe in the one given due to single pane windows and proximity to people walking by.

Loud as hell, stuffy with windows closed, and scary with windows open. Gross smell in lobby and rooms. Curtains stained with mystery white stuff and layered in dirt. Tiny fuzzy tv with mostly news channels.

The bathroom was pretty clean and WiFi worked well and close walk to financial district

A fantastic place, warm, cozy, close to shops, food, drink, public transportation. Slept like a baby. Woke right in the center of Chinatown, and 20 minutes from their pier using public transportation. Oh and it's moderately priced. I was actually booked at another hotel that turned out to be horrible. So when a roach ran across the floor at 1:30am i knew it was time to scram!! Grand Plaza accommodated and welcomed me at 2am! Nice bathroom, good water pressure, more than adequate lighting in the room. A really nice place! I'll stay there again. Oh and they offered me a discount for my next stay there.

We stayed here while in town for a conference. The room was small (just big enough for a bed, shelf and nightstand), but very functional. The bathroom was good - great water pressure and plenty of hot water. If we had spent time in the room beyond showering and sleeping, it wouldn't have been ideal, but especially for the price it was a good home base while in the city.

The only thing I didn't like was the room type I was assigned; I booked a room with a city view, but we were given and inside room with only a ventilation shaft window. We arrived late for a two night stay, so it wasn't worth arguing about.
