The room was cold and the thermostat under a lock box. Was in the ADA rooms and half the bathroom flooded when I took a shower - nothing to guide the water to the drain. A pond around the toilet until I 'swept' the water to the drain.

It was great, although self check-in required assistance. Floors are slanted, elevator is old and slow, staff is polite. It's quirky and somewhat inconvenient, like being on vacation in a charming town without too many amenities. Fantastic location.

A New Hotel Experience

I had never checked in the way they had things set up so it was a little confusing and a bit frustrating when I had trouble with the code to open the door. I am partially to blame though because i didn't read their email with instructions like I should have. Other than that, our stay was fun. We enjoyed the unique experience of this hotel. There are no staff onsite, so be prepared, everything is self-serve.
Cool mural!

Interesting art, horrible bed

My room decor was interesting, a bit quaint, and I enjoyed the wall painting. Everything was clean, temperature was fine, and it was pretty quiet. Check-in (via the app) after hours went smoothly. And when the elevator acted up, someone responded to my text very quickly. However, on the most important measure for a hotel room - the bed - this hotel fell far short. The mattress provided very little support and was uneven (clearly most people slept on the side that had a night stand). It wasn’t even a spring mattress, just a 6-inch or so foam mattress on a metal frame. Thankfully, I was only there one night. I won’t stay here again.

This is an adventure place with the best location!

This is a great spot and super fun stay! I enjoyed everything but the bed, but it was a cool place to lay my head down. Wish there was a ceiling fan or some way to move air, the windows did not open. And one of the blinds did not open and were always partially open. The bar below closes at 2am, bring ear plugs or skip this amazing art hotel if you are too sensitive. I can't wait to come back and stay in another cool room.

Have stayed here a few times. This was the best experience as the room was adorable/comfortable/accessible. With that said, the staff is not on site 24/7 and the accessible front door is often locked so you need to use a side door which has two small steps up. I was able to manage that. The bar is crazy popular some nights and fun. You're across from the Chinatown gate and steps from some great restaurants/Financial District. Short walk to shopping/Union Square. Tiny European/style elevator barely fits two. Art work throughout is fun fun fun.

You are in a fantastic location. Steps from Chinatown and short distance from North Beach. Saves you time because getting places is easy. I'd recommend this is a place if you are ok with small rooms and the showers in the hallway. My room didn't have a lamp, just an overhead light. I would say if you are looking for bare bones, great location, clean bed this would be your place.
