    Unhappy receptionists, they need to be little more professional and welcoming, and no parking for everyone even though its advertised as it has parking on site

    Location is awesome, right by Japantown gates

    The #1 thing that bothered us was on the morning we were to leave, we had the do not disturb sign out and at about 9:30am, the maid knocked on our door, after she had already asked me when I went out for coffee, when we were checking out. We found her to be too aggressive and had we been asleep when she knocked, it would really have been maddening. Why post the DO NOT DISTURB Sign?! The sink area offered very little space for this mother/daughter to have room for makeup although the bathroom was quite spacious. There seemed to be a constant low whistle due to the wind. That may have been due to the fact that this was in the spring and there is a lot of that in CA at this time of year.

    New, clean, person at the desk when we got in early was so accommodating. She let us get into the garage, and store our bags with her until we could check in. She also advised us that we could check in early on a ground floor room right then or wait for a better room up a few floors in a few hours. The happy hour with wine in the evening and coffee in the morning was a nice perk. Nice to have 2 EV chargers dedicated to Teslas which I drive.

    The room needs a bit of renovation or redecoration. It might not be that old but decoration is dull and it looks old.

    The room was spacious for 3 people and very clean. The beds were super comfy! Location was amazing, quiet and safe. Parking was included in the price so we didn’t have to worry about it. The stuff was very polite! Also, during the holidays they offered complimentary coffee, tea or hot chocolate with multiple toppings!

    The bedding and the pillows. The beds were never made such that the bottom sheet was actually fitted around the mattress, and I'm not talking about a fitted sheet. (the sheet slid around a lot). The pillows were never comfortable, even if one tried to stack the pillows to achieve some kind of firmness for one's head. Wish there had been a chair in the room (other than at the desk) for reading.

    This hotel is just in the right spot - Japantown and all it has to offer. It's easy to get to anywhere in the city from this excellent location. The staff is uniformly friendly and helpful. The lobby decor and ambience is welcoming and pleasant.

    I would have loved to have had self-laundry services since we had an extended stay.

    Most wonderful staff by far! Loved the location (Japan Town) so we didn't have to miss home too much. Great restaurants recommended by the hotel staff (Try out Sweet Maple a few blocks down Sutter for breakfast/brunch). All sorts of shops within walking distance with Japan Town Mall literally 1 min from the hotel. The room was very comfortable, clean and with high-end amenities in the bathroom. The beds were very comfortable! Water and ice dispensers were also available at our floor.
