This public thoroughfare is among the best free attractions in Chinatown. If you'd like to sightsee beyond Spofford Alley, we can also recommend Pier 39, Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz Island.

The property was lovely and the service was very good. Our neighbors were a bit loud and we could hear them in our room. But in general, I highly recommend this hotel.
