Whether it's because of their spiritual significance, impressive design or interesting history, temples usually feature on the itineraries of many visitors. Kong Chow Temple is a popular religious site you shouldn't miss.

Kong Chow Temple is an ideal place kick off your day in Downtown San Francisco. This place of worship comes recommended by fellow travelers, but it isn't the only thing to do here. Allow some time for other sights like Pier 39, Golden Gate Bridge, and Alcatraz Island to fully experience what's on offer in the area.

8/10 Very Good! (1,007 reviews)

This was a good place for a quick trip to Santa Cruz. We stayed with our family of 5 for one night. There was plenty of space for all of us. They only have stairs so if you need an elevator you would need to request the first floor. The place is a bit run down however, if the only thing you need is a clean place with a bed to sleep in then this will work for you. The walking distance to the boardwalk was great. It made it easy for us to come and go as needed. Our room was right by the patio on the second floor where people would hang out and smoke. I wasn’t a fan of that because we could smell it in the room. The beds were not super comfortable but you get what you get for the price.
