pleasantly surprised
I stayed here when I had to come into SFO for a last minute trip. Hotel Kabuki was 1/2 the price of what I had normally spent on a SFO hotel and they had a room so I gave them a try. I really liked it and plan on staying here again the next time im in town. Great staff, nice lobby and they have a beautiful traditional Japanese Garden. The rooms are slightly shabby, but it's blocks away from the Fillmore section of town with great music, restaurants (including SPQR) and lots of little shops. Very NYC SoHo like. But like I said, it's slightly shabby – not dirty, just not 5 star. If you want luxury, spa, tourist focused, etc.. then you should stay at an expensive hotel in Union Square.
