Hotel is not expensive and located good in the beginning of the china town, not far from the shopping and financial area. There is not breakfast. Room is pretty small and cheap. What is ok is you are planning to visit the city instead of staying at the hotel all day. Shower is ok (with the door, not with the... More

Small room, but its clean. And great location, with a great (cheap) price. :) Its in the chinatown, so for like me, asian people, its so easy to find a chinese restaurant with a cheap price. Just accross the hotel, theres a sushi restaurant and if u looking for a cheap and yummy breakfast like porridge and bread, just 5minutes... More

After a two night stay here in March, I will give this property a 'Very Good' rating even though this review will show why you should be prepared and in survival mode, if you want to save some $$ and book this place for your SF vacation or business trip. First of all, the rack rate here is less than... More

My partner and I stayed here for 4 nights and found it a very pleasurable stay. The room, although small, was a very comfortable size for our needs and thoroughly cleaned throughout our stay. We used our hotel as a base for taking in the sights and sounds of The City, and for this, the location was fantastic! Union sq... More

We stayed 3 nights at the Grant Plaza Hotel and we were very pleased with the accomodations, especially for the price we paid. The location couldn't be better for walking to Fisherman's Wharf, Union Station and the Ferry Building where the tours we took started. The room wasn't huge but it was very clean and tastefully decorated, and how much... More

Stayed at this hotel for 3 nights in mid April. The location is great, Market St. and Union Square are nearby and fashionista's can enjoy shops like Calvin Klein etc. after a 5 min. walk. Downside: The rooms are horrible. The first room we stayed in was absolutely the worst I've seen. Dripping faucet, tiny and unbelievably wobbly bed (I'm... More

This hotel was located right in the heart of Chinatown, so you don't have to go far to get food and a beer. However the hotel itself wasn't great. Very noisy. Both outside on the streets (which you'd expect from the hotel location). People in the hotel coming back from nights out at 3am, shouting down the corridor. It was... More

Grant Plaza Hotel is centrally located in Downtown San Fransisco. Easily accessible from the BART by foot about 10 minutes walk from Montgomery Station. Fun place to stay if you want to explore Chinatown and its many shops and restaurants. The hotel itself is sparse and my room was very small. No airconditioning and no screens in front of the...

If you travel in Asia and use hostels this place is lovely. In comparison to the motels we stayed in on the rest of our US trip this hotel is shabby. Location is a top selling point plus price, rooms are totally fine and functional, but not at all modern or stylish. I think backpackers will enjoy the luxury, wheeled... More

Regarding my recent stay at the Grant Plaza, I want to emphasize that my comments are generally good, and so is my impression of my stay. Great location, small and a bit noisy rooms, and no frills or amenities, but A GREAT PRICE! I did want to mention one problem though that I had with an employee during my stay... More
