We booked this hotel only because we had some business at the French consulate which was on the same block as the hotel and wanted to stay somewhere nearby. The only thing good about this hotel was the location. The staff was friendly and helpful and got us checked in fast and proided us with a good parking spot nearby.... more

I'll definitely be staying here again. Great staff, very friendly and helpful. You can't beat the cost, especially for the location. You have easy access from here to lots of transportation and of course its easy to walk to many locations. To be fair, the room was quite small and there were few tv channels, but what are you staying... more

I was a little skeptical of the place because of the mixed reviews that I had read here, but I really liked the hotel. The room was very small (double bed, about 4 feet to one side, one foot on the other, and a few feet at the end of the bed) but it was all I needed. The bed... more

The Grant Plaza offers great location, views, and comfortable rooms at a low price. Located in Chinatown, you're within walking distance of Market Street, Union Square, North Beach, BART, and cable cars. Try to get a room on the top (6th) floor. My room was clean, had a good view of the financial district, and plenty of sunshine. The only... more

I was looking for a cheap hotel, and I found this one on the internet, and booked the room. Then, i read Tripadvisor reviews, which were frightening, but when I got there I felt great relief. In fact, this is not at all luxury: the rooms are small (different from the ones on the website), tv works bad (but who... more

I saw the pictures of the rooms on their website, and thought it looked like a good deal. After getting there, I found out that is was in the middle of gang-land complete with gang grafitti. I also found out that the pictures of the rooms on their website didn't look anything like the room I stayed in. My room... more

I had to change 3 rooms before I could stay there. First room had open electrical wires. The lamps shut off and on when I moved the drawer. The second room was filled with chlorine. Actually, all 3rd floor has this smell. Not recommend more

Just got done with a 4-day/3-night stay in SF @ Grant Plaza. My review would be 5 "stars"/excellent, however, let's face it this is not a 5 star hotel. It is, however, a FANTASIC bargain. Consider that it meets the basic requirements I need in a hotel: a clean room, good shower, safe inside & out, and a helpful staff.... more

I booked a last minute trip to SF and reserved my hotel through the Visitor's Bureau website. Having lived in SF in my grad school days, I wanted something close to transport and central city, but reasonably priced. The Grant Plaza was all of that. I had a 6th floor room, which was tiny, yes, but I only needed a... more
