The location is perfect for being close to things in the city. It’s a few blocks from the trains and walking distance to Union Square, Chinatown, and North Beach. This is not the place for you if you’re a light sleeper. Because the building is old, the street sounds carry through the window even when it’s shut. And because it’s a city, street sounds don’t stop. The front desk does provide ear plugs which I do suggest you use if noise keeps you up at night. The room was also a little stuffy without AC, again because the building is old, and we couldn’t leave the windows open because of the sound. Overall though, the bed was comfy and the room served it’s purpose keeping us near plenty of fun attractions and bars without being too expensive!
