Loved how close it was to Chinatown, literally right next door. Although it is a dorm room kind of feel, with shared bathrooms located in the hallways, bathrooms and showers were never a problem because of how many there were and they were always clean. Staff is very friendly and always available 24/7 if you are out late.

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 recently stayed at The Urban Hotel in San Francisco for two nights and overall had a decent experience. When I first entered the room, there was a noticeable unpleasant smell. I opened the window before leaving for the day, and when I returned in the evening, the smell had reduced but was still present from time to time during my stay. I didn’t report it to the front desk during my stay, but I did mention it at checkout. On a positive note, the front desk staff was friendly and helpful, which I appreciated. Overall, this is a reasonable option for a short stay, but the room condition, especially the odor could be improved.
