Room decoration, maintenance staff, cleanliness, location, shared microwave/coffee maker with provided pods, secure entry after hours.
Door entry app a bit glitchy, front desk is sometimes not manned during regular hours (although there is a telephone number to call).

The rate is good..
There is a smell in our room that is not pleasant.. not sure if it cames from the carpet
Not all the time, there is a staff in the lobby..

Without any notice. My card was charged $250 for smoking in my room... here is part of the catch. I don't smoke.. so how is the staff who "besides house keeping" is virtually non existent going to pass that judgement on me, consider there apparent presumption was a fact.. Indeed such a fact that they based there decision to fine me $250... When I don't even smoke. I'm in the middle of my 3rd week here. And it hasn't been cheap. Wich is fine. It's just random things like this that put a sour taste in my mouth about it.

great location and price. great bed and furnishings.
The raised on a platform, claw foot tub was an accident waiting to happen. the cleaner mistook a ziplock baggy of 12 art prints ($1,200 value) for candy wrappers and trashed them. the app I had to down load to get into my room and messaging before hand never provided the front of the building code.

The location and the concept of different decor on each room. Also, the keyless and the check-in and check-out systems are magnificent
There is no ice machine. I would have a working vending machines downstairs. One with local drinks and another one with typical food.

location
no heating, defective tv, no workdesk, no breakfast, no reception
incorrectly setup key app, could not enter second day etc
effectively no windows
I was actually the lucky one, I like a cold bedroom, other guests got an electric heater that shorted out the power in part of the building…

Hotel is located right next to Chinatown and the financial district. BART/Muni stops are just a five minute walk away. The hotel has a unique style, lots of handdrawn art which gives it a lot of character. Our room was spacious with comfortable beds.
Hot water often took a while to come through the showers/taps. There isn't always someone on reception which means you may have to call a phone number if you need help. Certainly not up to the standard of a modern hotel, but this was expected as the price was lower than many of the chain hotels.

Great location.
No one at front desk the entire stay. TV and Wi-Fi didn’t work. Dirty shower that wasn’t wiped from previous guest. 0 insulation so I could hear every sound from outside. street light by window and no curtain, just blinds so the room stayed bright all night.

Every room had a different look
Loud noise at night in the direct neighbourhood (2-3 a.m.), no staff at arrival and very little staff at all, no separate room to securely store the baggage at arrival while we could not check in yet, water filter wasn’t replaced in two days despite being on red (in lobby)

the reservation process
Having a huge picture of a woman in a bikini was not pleasant.
The staff on entry to the facility seemed under the influence of something....... also NOT pleasant.

The only negative comment is that breakfast wasn't available. It would have been better to edit the listing for the hotel to show that this is the case, as it currently states that it is included in the room rate.
