Good location. Kind ans friendly staff. Excellent breakfast
09.10.2025 xhzbhrd
Facilities: Everything you need is there. The self-service water dispenser was also quite pleasant.

However, there's no private parking. Public parking nearby costs $26 for 12 hours, with a $35 cap after that.

Breakfast: Not buffet style, self-service menu. If you book through Ctrip including breakfast, you can choose one option. I recommend the berry toast; it's delicious.

Cleanliness and service are good. Although there are homeless people nearby, overall it's acceptable. I would recommend it.

Nice hotel, good location, and lovely service. It is so close to the Moscone center, ideal choice for business.
27.02.2025 Guest
Although the counter is not big, the bed is very comfortable. Overall it is quite good. The location of the hotel is quite good and it doesn't feel dangerous. It is very close to moma and it is quite convenient to call a taxi. It is a good choice for first-time travelers to San Francisco
15.10.2024 Guest
Was excited to stay here but got ill and couldn’t get a cancellation credit. So my review stars are all 1’s since I couldn’t stay and the hotel wouldn’t do anything to give any sort of partial credit.
06.09.2024 Anonymous
The location is convenient for attending the conference. I had planned to book other hotels before, but the price increased too much. After comparing the surrounding areas, I found that this hotel has a higher cost performance. It is still okay.
06.08.2024 Guest
Very close to Moscone convention centre. Convenient for those attending conferences. Typical W style. Room is clean and quite big.
07.06.2024 Georga
To ensure the safety of its visitors, the hotel has taken all necessary measures. They even cleaned the place every day. It was an exciting place.
07.06.2024 Ronnie
The price was also very good. And especially their employees, who valued their client. Whatever they want, they give it to you. They also served great food. Overall, I give them a thumbs up! Five star rating for this hotel. I will definitely come here again.

This place was the worst strip club that i habe been to and i travel the county. They has the nerve to charge 26 dollars to boot. If i could leave no stars i would. The girls were crooks only interested in making buck.
24.07.2017 Jennifer
I came for the boobs. chicken boobs.

For reals though, I did come for their fried chicken. They have a lunch buffet on the weekdays that is free with a $5 entrance free. And let me tell you, it was worth. I was pretty surprised by how good the buffet was. Great salad, fruit salad, chicken, beef/pork? and sides! The foodie in me was rejoicing, it's such a steal! You do have to pay extra for drinks.

Aside from the food, you also get entertainment! The ladies were great and I have to admit, it was fun sitting by the stage. Definitely finish your food before sitting by the stage, makes it harder for the ladies to do their thing if you have food and drinks on the table ;)

The establishment itself is pretty classy. I really liked the stage with the interactive background. There are several small 2-person tables and a couple of booths on the side and an upstairs section. I didn't get to see to much since the place was a little dim in general.

Would I come back? Yes! I really enjoyed my lunch and the staff/girls were welcoming :)

TIP: Bring that ca$h money and an appetite!
13.07.2017 Giedrius
5$ all you can eat buffet from 11.30 to 14.00 is awesome! Girls are nice too ;)
26.02.2017 Tom
One bucket, two buckets, you can truly have as much of the delicious chicken as you want at one of the finest buffets in San Francisco. Have to disagree with some of the other reviewers though - girls are definitely slightly above average to above average. Saw some wild feats of athleticism that really blew me away. A MUST VISIT.

i do not know why all the females who 'work' here aren't automatically diagnosed with bipolar disorder or psychosis. i have a fantastic imagination and sound system. my aunt even said that they earn their money. my aunt would not hire me to work in her stupid clothes store. my aunt feels insecure then turns around and mislabels me as bipolar. i am also better looking than these females. i don't know why these are in business. i don't know why the government considers this a legitimate occupation and then an arm of the government wants to be insecure and tell me i am mental. i have a fantasy imagination that is well noted and i don't know why someone would pay all this money to look at these people who probably got bad grades in school on purpose. they probably only think they are so great all the time. i don't know why i can't get acknowledged sometimes. my great grandma 6' in the 1800s. i don't know why other real females can't be acknowledged and these people selling but cheese are idolized.

Incredibly underwhelming. Looks pretty nice, but looks are very deceiving. Overpriced, super bland, service took forever, and bad management. On top of it all, the cuisine didn't satisfy my appetite. Never again.
02.11.2017 Zhelka
Poor customer service, under staffed and food was mediocre at best. Would not recommend...
22.10.2017 Amanda
Come here if you love LONG waits for food and drinks (25+ minutes), missing food from orders, and watered down draft beers. Less than half the tables are being used on a Saturday night despite both Golden State and MLB championship series are on. The locals must know something us tourists don't...dont order the wings unless you like bland food and ranch that tastes like nothing.
25.09.2017 Kat
Near Westfield mall. If you love sports you love the numerous flat screen TVs to watch your favorite sport. Also if you like billiards they have a lot of tables !
02.06.2017 Joe
