The best budget hotel I've stayed in
I've travelled quite a bit and I've stayed in a range of hotels and the Grant Plaza Hotel is the best budget hotel I've stayed in. I was first impressed by how clean the room was. Because the room (and maybe hotel) is really a non-smoking place, there was no 'residual' bad smell in the room. (I have recently experienced the 'smell' problem in 2 'top' hotel chains. Also, the internet connection was very good (I could use Skype without any problem) and free.
The location is perfect to explore San Francisco.
My room was small but I didn't mind because I was not there much and for the price I paid I was already satisfied!
And don't forget, it's San Francisco. I don't think one would be able to find such a good (Clean and well-located) and inexpensive place to stay in London or New York.
To summarise, this hotel is inexpensive, well located, clean, and the staff friendly.
I'll definitively stay there again and recommend it to my friends.
