I've stayed at the Hotel Triton two times, but I don't think I'll stay again.
The Hotel Triton is a small boutique hotel. The interior room design is lively and funky, but the quality of the hotel is cheap and the rooms are too small when compared to the relatively high cost for a room.
Hotel Triton has gotten the repuation of a party hotel, so be prepared; your building mates may be loud, drunk and unruly. If this happens, like it did to us, I would suggest that you try to out drink your neighbors then procede to out loud and out-ruly them, because calling the front desk won't do a bit of good. Noise is a big problem because the walls in the Triton are very thin.
If you are looking for a more intimate / quiet hotel then the Triton will probabally disappoint you, but if you're the party type and have reversed sleeping schedules then this may be your cup of tea..
The Triton has complementary evening wine socials, so don't miss it. Most of the people that were staying in the Triton were pretty cool. They have a DJ in the lounge on the weekends, and a tarrot card reader in the lobby (sometimes). It seemed like a younger crowd from the mid 20's to the low 30's.
This is a picture of us trying to be louder than the other people in the Hotel. It took a lot of alcohol, and a sing along song about the male reproductive organ but I think we ended up in First Place.
Unique Qualities: The Hotel Triton lacks great views, but it's location is pretty good. If you exit the building and turn right you're about 10 steps away from the China Town gates.
The hotel staff seem vibrant, friendly and genuinely happy that you are there.
The clientele tends to be in their low 30's or younger.
The walls are very thin and the people tend to get too loud.
