Good and bad
The electrocic/app key situation was problematic. When we tried to get it resolved, nothing came of it. There is no front desk person and the water took 10+ min to warm up in the shower one of the days. Rooms were super cute. The art was awesome and the bed was comfortable. The location was ideal and the downstairs bar was fun and friendly.

Cheap, clean, great location.
So, it is what it is, not bad, not great. It is very reasonable and I love Chinatown/Financial District, food and bars are fantastic. I'd go back.

The in room refrigerator was set to the coldest setting which caused a nice bottle of wine and some food to freeze. Very loud banging (maybe construction) at 6 am for at least 2 hours. No personnel to check you in or out and no room service either.

OpenKey is not convenient. Passcode would be preferably better. Lift doors are cumbersome.

Very unique property design and style, especially the rooms. Loved the area, right beside Chinatown and a couple blocks from high-end designer stores. Never felt unsafe.

Cool little hotel in the Middle of it All
Excellent location! Across the street from the Dragon Gate.
Cool little hotel, very artsy as the name implies.
These are basic rooms, very comfortable but a Victorian bathtub/shower.
Perfect for our purposes but we only had the room to sleep in.

Great location.
Perfect location… across the street from Chinatown’s moon gate, located by several bars and restaurants. Easy walk to BART. Room was small but enough space for comfort. Bed was just ok.
