Top Japantown Hotel Reviews

YOTEL San Francisco

2/10 Terrible

"There was absolutely no on-site parking. Available parking was half a mile away and $40 per day. The area of the hotel was extremely bad. The room did not come with a coffee maker, mini fridge, or microwave. The room also had very little privacy in the bathroom. I would give the hotel staff a 2 star due to lack of communication."
