nice and clean
we stayed four nights at the baldwin hotel and found it a lovely hotel close to china town and union square and close to the subway ( we walked with our cases ). the staff were very freindly and helpful and the coffee in the reception area was a nice touch as was the towel oragarmi . ther was no air con but a fan in the ceiling which kept the room cool enough . we heard no noise from the street at all although our room did back on to some large fans on the roof of the neighbouring building that made a lot of noise day and night so i did find it hard to sleep at first but we did get used to it as at least it was a constant noise .
