I had a mixed experience at Grant Plaza Hotel. On the plus side, the location in the heart of China Town was super convenient for exploring nearby shops and restaurants. The staff were friendly and accommodating, making my stay easier. However, the room itself left a lot to be desired; it was really old, a bit noisy, and cleanliness was an issue. Overall, it was a decent stay but not without its drawbacks.

I had a mixed experience at the Grant Plaza Hotel. On the positive side, the location in Chinatown was fantastic for exploring the vibrant neighborhood, plus my room was spacious enough for my needs. However, I encountered several discomforts, such as a lack of basic amenities and a bit of noise at times. Despite this, it's a great option for budget-conscious travelers who prioritize location over luxury.

The lack of a fitness center and poor elevation system were drawbacks, as the elevator felt old and made some unsettling noises.

My stay at Grant Plaza Hotel was a mixed bag. While the location in Chinatown was fantastic for exploring, the room itself left a lot to be desired. I found the bed uncomfortable, and the overall maintenance seemed lacking. The staff were polite, but the amenities did not meet my expectations.

Rooms

5.0

My room was small with a very uncomfortable bed. There was no air conditioning, and the bathroom showed signs of mold. The hotel provided some basic toiletries, but overall, the room felt quite dated. I was grateful for the hot water in the foyer, but the lack of kettle and fridge was disappointing.

Service

5.0

The staff were friendly and helpful, though sometimes I felt they were more focused on paperwork than providing personalized assistance. They did help with some room issues but having to set things up myself, like the mattress pad, was inconvenient.

Location

10.0

The hotel’s location is arguably its best feature. I found it easy to walk to Union Square, the Ferry Building, and many restaurants. It felt very safe, even when returning at night, which was a big plus for me.

Dining

Unfortunately, there wasn't any breakfast served at the hotel. I noticed there was self-serve coffee available only in the mornings, which felt quite limited. I had to find nearby dining options for meals.

Facilities

5.0

There were some issues, such as no working elevator during my stay, which meant climbing six floors with my luggage. I also noticed a general lack of upkeep in shared areas which was disappointing.

I had a mixed experience at Grant Plaza Hotel. The location is fantastic, right in Chinatown and close to many restaurants and public transport, making it easy to explore the city. However, my room was incredibly small and the noise levels from outside were quite disruptive. The bedding was uncomfortable, which made my stay less pleasant than I had hoped.

Rooms

5.0

My room was very tiny, barely enough space to move around. The bed was incredibly hard, which made it uncomfortable to sleep. The bathroom was actually bigger than the room itself, which felt odd. I noticed a lack of airflow and appreciated the bathroom's cleanliness, but the overall experience was disappointing.

Service

The staff were friendly and accommodating, which was a highlight of my stay. I could check in early, and there were complimentary items available. However, the overall value for the price paid felt lacking.

Being just a block away from the Dragon Gate in Chinatown was perfect for my needs. I loved how close I was to Union Square and various public transportation options, which made getting around super easy.

While I didn't dine extensively at the hotel, I appreciated the nearby restaurants offering gourmet products. Having all those food options in Chinatown was definitely a plus.

Facilities

The hotel had basic facilities, and although it was clean, it felt a bit dated. There were no fancy amenities or extra comforts like air conditioning, just a fan and thin windows that didn’t block out much noise.
