We arrived at hotel is late. Trying to find a pace to eat, however, we walked a mile only saw few limited small cafes. We didn't want to drive because it only has limited parking space. Don't want to lost parking spot. And the bed isn't comfortable either.

Very good location to visit SF tourist areas while avoiding crowd. Local and hop on busses are right outside the hotel. Safeway is 15 min walk. The hotel itself is old and amenities quite dated, however room service is provided every day. Front desk staff are also very helpful.

This was a great location for our trip! We really enjoyed the rooftop patio, and with our room placement, we were able to watch the 4th of July fireworks without having to leave our room! We did have a little trouble with our key cards, but it wasn't a terrible inconvenience.

I chose a place with parking for 4th of July festivities. They did not have parking available. I found street parking and went into the room. Toenails and hair on the bed. Bed like concrete. No working wifi. Left immediately.
