Question: Do they have good internet?

My wife and I stayed 5 nights at this hotel. We got a great price on Priceline. The hotel is spotless and the staff friendly. The room was a little on the small side, but very comfortable and adequate. We found the hotel to be very quiet. The wireless Internet service was a little weak, but we were able to use it (and it was free). We wanted something downtown, convenient to the Palace Hotel, where my wife was attending a convention. It's about 3 block to Union Square and all the major shopping. The Palace was about 6 blocks, and there were plenty of restuarants within walking distance. You can also walk to Chinatown. Do get your bearings from the desk clerk, because there is an area nearby that should be avoided. We did without a car for the first 3 days because of the $39 valet parking fee at the hotel, and we really didn't have to drive anywhere. We then rented a car for a couple of days so we could drive down to Carmel and up to Napa. there are plenty of car rental places within a few blocks of the hotel and you can park overnight for about $12 in a garage about a block and a half away. So getting around worked out very well. We tried the restuarant for breakfast only, but it was good. In general, the restuarants downtown are very expensive, but our meals were very good. Overall, a good experience. We would definitely stay again.

Question: How is people?

One of the attractions of the Laurel Inn is that it is in a nice, more residential neighborhood, with shops and restaurants nearby. It is a bit removed from more touristy areas, such as Fisherman's Wharf and Union Square, but public transportation can get you there and back (however, while the buses ran quite frequently during the day, they are not as frequent at night and it took a while longer to get back to the hotel). Our room was 316 (two doubles with a kitchenette) with a view overlooking Presidio Avenue. The room was quite spacious and we were very impressed with the attention to detail. The furnishing, lighting and other decorative touches were done very creatively. The bathroom was small, with only a shower, but once again the amenities (Aveda products, fresh flowers, egyptian cotton towels) more than made up for it. We enjoyed the other amenities the hotel had to offer--onsite parking, continental breakfast, cookies and lemonade in the afternoon. We did find that staying next to a major city street was quite noisy during the day (those garbage collectors have early hours!), but did quiet down at night.If there was just one negative that prevents me from giving this hotel a 5-star rating, it is the inconsistency of the front desk staff. There were at least three wonderfully friendly people manning the front desk who went out of their way to be helpful. However, there were two sour people in particular who made you feel like you were imposing with every request. It is not enough of a negative to keep me from staying at this charming hotel again, but it would be nice if all the front desk personnel had the same customer service skills.

Question: How good are the staff here?

By the time I had reached this hotel, I had been to four different cities and was grouchy and warn out. The staff, right from the door man to the room service staff were outstanding. This property used to be a Pan Pacific Hotel, one of my personal favorites, so I knew I couldn't go too wrong here. The rooms were a very good size and unusually positioned with a hallway in and the bathroom around the corner. The bathrooms were plush with all the amenities you expect in an upper scale hotel, such as a separate shower, high end products and two robes of different weight (and size). There was an LCD television. Upon arrival, on the 3rd floor, at check-in there was a beverage set-up with fresh fruit water. I tried the restaurant and room service and actually preferred the room service as there was more selection! The staff is probably the best part of this hotel. Eager to go out of their way to make your stay as comfortable as possible. I had shopped and knew I would never fit my purchases in my already overstuffed suicase, so the concierge FedEx'd my purchases to my home! outstanding. The hotel is conveniently located about a block or so away from the shopping mecca of Union Square. I cannot wait to return.

Question: How was the staff?

We stay here because the hotel delivers the most spacious and updated rooms for the price. Most hotels in SF (even the recently remodeled ones) are older w/ really small rooms. Yes, you're here to see the city, not the room, but a little extra space is always a good thing. Plus there's the minifrig, micro, champagne glasses, etc. to help stretch your travel dollars. The staff was great; let us check into our room early. After walking the city all afternoon we took our champagne to the 14th floor terrace and enjoyed the sunshine (it was an amazing 75 degrees in Nov!). We'll definitely be back and recommend this to all our friends.

Question: How was the bartender's service?

There are not enough good things I can say about the Hotel Adagio. It is in a great location for shopping, nightlife, and AVIS car rental is behind the building (we rented a car to go up to Wine Country).The staff were extremely friendly, courteous, polite, and efficient. It was so nice to have every need anticipated before I even had to ask for it!We got a great deal through Travelzoo for this hotel and I was a little leery as in SF "boutique hotel" can be code for "shabby and rundown". Not the case for the Adagio. And, unlike other older hotels where the rooms are tiny, our room was spacious and spotless. The hotel has been updated recently without losing its Spanish feel.Being in the Union Square area it is not the quietest location but we were close to great restaurants, theatres, and shopping.We loved it and would definitely recommend it for other travelers, and I know I will be staying there again.

Question: Was the bathroom spacious?

Cannot fault the hotel location at all. Situated just off Fisherman's Wharf and right next to a supermarket this hotel is great for people wanting to be well connected to civilization. Great transport links also mean that you are well connected to other parts of the city as well.The actual room itself is fine. The bed is amazingly comfortable, but there are some very annoying features. The biggest and most ridiculous aspect of the rooms are the abnormally small bathrooms. They are so small, you can't even do a 360 in them without giving yourself a concussion. This may be fine for little people but it's simply very uncomfortable for anyone over 5ft tall. The clothing hooks in the bathrooms are also so small that you cannot hang anything without it falling off instantly. This may seem very petty, but believe me, is VERY annoying.Another point worth a mention is the Air Con...it's the size of a range cooker, and earth shatteringly loud.Also, the hotel layout is like a maze, and finding your way to your room from the elevator can be an expedition.Still, if your young, healthy and consider yourself vertically challenged, this may well be the perfect place for you!

Question: How is the hotel?

Stayed here for 6 nights with my husband and son. We arrived at 11am thinking we would just drop off our luggage and hit the town. The room was surprisingly ready so we were able to check-in early. Since there were no rooms with two double beds available, we were given a room on the 17th floor with a king size bed. I requested a roll-away bed and that was delivered the next day. If I had any complaints at all, it would be having to call again for the roll-away bed but this is really a non-issue.The hotel is in a great location in the financial district. We took the BART between SFO and the hotel. At $5.35 per person one way, it is more economical than a cab. The BART station is only a few blocks away in the Embarcadero area. Also, the hotel is within blocks of lots of MUNI bus and train lines so travel is convenient. In fact, I would discourage renting a car unless necessary since valet parking is $50 + taxes per night. The pillowtop bed is incredibly comfortable. I usually don't sleep well in hotels but the Le Meridien bed is an exception. Also, the hotel was extremely quiet. Our room was very close to the elevators but I did not hear people in the hallway or in the rooms next door. The lady at the concierge desk is amazing. I swear she is a human GPS. She'll give awesome recommendations for restaurants.Check-out was easy with no surprises. Overall, this upscale hotel is highly recommended and its location is hard to beat.

Question: How is the hotel?

I would highly recommend Palace Hotel. It has great downtown location just steps from the BART station (their subway). You can get from the San Francisco International to the hotel for 30 minutes. The hotel and the rooms were clean. I found out that I have an allergy to the detergent they wash their linen with and requested our sheets not to be treated with chemicals and indeed they did it! Great place to stay! I highly recommend it!The hotel was cheap and fabulous at the same time.

Question: Where can I get good service from this hotel?

We stayed here for 4 nights with our two sons. The staff is very professional and usually friendly and helpful. The layout of the hotel is a little strange and it was undergoing extensive renovations, so I'm not sure we saw it all. The lobby (not check-in) seems out of the way, so you never think of enjoying it. Not really sure what was there--the hotel didn't seem to have a lounge or bar. It did have a restaurant, but again it was out-of-the-way so you don't think about patronizing it. I never even saw it, so I can't comment on it.The concierge here is very helpful always ready with dinner recommendations, help with reservations, and even arranged for our rental car to be returned for us.Our room was on the fifth floor with city views. It was beautifully decorated and newly refurbished. The beds were extremely comfortable and triple-sheeted. There was a nice, large flat screen television. The room was very quiet, except during the day when there was the noise of construction. It wasn't horrible, but could be heard. It was also very clean. There were nice robes for after showering.On the downside: the room was quite small. One of our double beds was pushed up against the wall, so whoever slept there (me!) had to crawl over the other person. The bathroom was also quite small, especially the vanity area. The toilet and shower were separate from the vanity, which was nice. The room did not have a mini-bar or a dresser. Since the room was small, we had suitcases every where.Our boys had room service several times as my husband were going out for dinner. The service was quick (20 minutes or so) and the food was very good and excellently transported. For example, the milks and ice cream were kept on ice to keep them cold. The staff was friendly. Of course, it was very expensive. We paid about $40 dollars every night for a small pepperoni pizza, pb&J, 2 milks, and two cookies by the time we paid the already high-cost of the food, delivery fee, and gratuity. Food in San Francisco is very expensive in general, and the convenience was nice and allowed my husband and me to get ready for a night out and gave our kids a treat of room service in front of the TV.The hotel is located at the top of Nob Hill and at the intersection of two cable car lines. It is only three blocks from China Town and close to a nice shopping district. There are some beautiful views. Walking in San Francisco and especially this area is quite a workout! The hills are very steep and it is straight up hill to the Stanford Court from every direction! As I said, two cable car lines stop in front of the hotel, which is nice, but they can be extremely crowded and you may need to be aggressive if you have stood at the cable car stop for awhile only to be pushed out of the way by others running for the car as it stops.This was a nice hotel, located in a pretty and historical area. Nob Hill was the center of old San Francisco wealth in the early 20th century. It is close to some interesting sites (but not Fisherman's Wharf although the cable cars take you directly there.) I'm not sure I would chose this hotel again, though, if I were to return to San Francisco.

The layout of the hotel is a little strange and it was undergoing extensive renovations, so I'm not sure we saw it all. The lobby (not check-in) seems out of the way, so you never think of enjoying it. Not really sure what was there--the hotel didn't seem to have a lounge or bar. It did have a restaurant, but again it was out-of-the-way so you don't think about patronizing it. I never even saw it, so I can't comment on it.The concierge here is very helpful always ready with dinner recommendations, help with reservations, and even arranged for our rental car to be returned for us.Our room was on the fifth floor with city views. It was beautifully decorated and newly refurbished. The beds were extremely comfortable and triple-sheeted. There was a nice, large flat screen television. The room was very quiet, except during the day when there was the noise of construction. It wasn't horrible, but could be heard. It was also very clean. There were nice robes for after showering.On the downside: the room was quite small. One of our double beds was pushed up against the wall, so whoever slept there (me!) had to crawl over the other person. The bathroom was also quite small, especially the vanity area. The toilet and shower were separate from the vanity, which was nice. The room did not have a mini-bar or a dresser. Since the room was small, we had suitcases every where.Our boys had room service several times as my husband were going out for dinner. The service was quick (20 minutes or so) and the food was very good and excellently transported. For example, the milks and ice cream were kept on ice to keep them cold. The staff was friendly. Of course, it was very expensive. We paid about $40 dollars every night for a small pepperoni pizza, pb&J, 2 milks, and two cookies by the time we paid the already high-cost of the food, delivery fee, and gratuity. Food in San Francisco is very expensive in general, and the convenience was nice and allowed my husband and me to get ready for a night out and gave our kids a treat of room service in front of the TV.The hotel is located at the top of Nob Hill and at the intersection of two cable car lines. It is only three blocks from China Town and close to a nice shopping district. There are some beautiful views. Walking in San Francisco and especially this area is quite a workout! The hills are very steep and it is straight up hill to the Stanford Court from every direction! As I said, two cable car lines stop in front of the hotel, which is nice, but they can be extremely crowded and you may need to be aggressive if you have stood at the cable car stop for awhile only to be pushed out of the way by others running for the car as it stops.This was a nice hotel, located in a pretty and historical area. Nob Hill was the center of old San Francisco wealth in the early 20th century. It is close to some interesting sites (but not Fisherman's Wharf although the cable cars take you directly there.) I'm not sure I would chose this hotel again, though, if I were to return to San Francisco.

Question: How is service?

We visited the Mandarin Oriental the first week of October. It was our first trip to San Fran and without a doubt will definitely return to both the city and the hotel. We don't even want to consider another hotel.We had a Bridge to Bridge view room (worth every penny) with outstanding views of Golden Gate Bridge, Bay Bridge, & Alcatraz. The bathroom was large with beautiful tile and really nice amenities (scale, slippers, Frette linen hand towel, nice size amenities, & where else do they give you a loofah sponge with bath gel?) The service was very good and prompt; staff was friendly. The welcoming tea service was a very nice touch and the maids always offered lots of bottled water. The decor had an Asian influence which was nice for a change, and it wasn't too overboard. Can't wait to return.

Question: What about morning coffee in this hotel?

On our first trip to San Francisco, we stayed at the Serrano for 3 days April 6th-8th, 2007. The lobby is charming and we loved the nightly hospitality hours with free wine and organic beer. In the mornings complimentary organic coffee and a variety of teas are available free to get you started for your daily adventures. The staff was very friendly and helpful, the rooms were nicely decorated, bed very comfortable, and we loved the robes provided. The room was spotless with a well stocked mini-bar/snacks and in room safe. Through our friend the travel agent, the room rate was great. The location was very close to Union Square and 2 blocks from the cable car. We loved our stay and would definately consider the Serrano again!

Question: How is the place?

I'm a repeater; I've stayed at the Mosser each time I come to the bay area on my business trips because it's a great, clean, comfortable hotel with helpful staff. It's also conveniently located right in downtown SF, near BART. The rooms are small, European in style, but it has all the modern conveniences and the price makes it totally worthwhile. The homemade muffins in the morning are a plus. I highly recommend staying at this hotel for any business or leisure traveler.

I've stayed at The Hotel Carlton 2 times now and both times I had an excellent experiece. Costen Hickman helped out a great deal with my reservations and Theo at the front desk greeted me with a warm smile and made me laugh. The staff always says hello and are all very friendly and helpful. Will always recommend this hotel to anyone visiting San Francisco!

Question: Are there any reviews on bath options at this hotel?

My first impression was very favorable because the hotel honored a less expensive rate I found on Travelocity and Expedia. From there it only got better! The room was large and wonderfully appointed - and I love a bathroom that is roomy and has lots of counter space! Breakfast was very reasonable and the presentation was equal to any place we have ever been - very nicely done. We came back to the hotel in the middle of the afternoon and the bar person served us a drink even though they weren't technically open. The lady at the front desk assisted me with printing my boarding passes...really, everything and everyone was just great. Our room fronted on the street so we did hear some noises during the night, but the bed was so soft there was no problem falling back to sleep. And the location is great - just off Union Square - so, if you are a walker it's perfect.I highly recommend this hotel.

Question: How nice is the view?

My two favorite hotels in SF are the MO and the Inn Above Tide in Sausalito. I've stayed in the Four Seasons and the Ritz and many other hotels in SF. Four Seasons may have better rooms in terms of architecture and the modern facility, but the location is not desirable (too many homeless wandered nearby and didn't feel safe at night). Nothing stands out at the Ritz; it has no view and its location is mediocre; services were good but the decor is a bit stuffy, old school like, typical of the Ritz chain. The view, services, and location at the MO makes it the best choice for me.I stayed at the Bridge to Bridge View room in July 2006 and the Golden Gate Bridge Mandarin King in August 2007. The main difference is that the Mandarin King has a bathroom with the tub by a large window with fantastic view. From the 48th floor, watching clouds rolling in below us and birds flying by the window, we felt like we were in an airplane. The sky bridge on every floor provides panoramic view of the entire city. Check out my photos for the amazing view.The services at the MO are always top notch. It's not the kind of hotel to nickel and dime its guests (unlike many other five star hotels). The business center offers computers with free internet access and printing (FS and the Ritz charge like $10 for 15 minutes). Also, I called up the room service to inquire about the name of the complementary wine we received upon arrival and was instead offered another complementary bottle. Housekeeping services were good and discreet.Its location is the best compared to the the FS and the Ritz. It's close to Embarcadero and the clock tower, next to a cable car line and the Bart station, within walking distance to Chinatown and the downtown shopping area.The food from the room services were quite good but the taxes, services charges, and gratuity accounted for a third of the bill. I didn't like the fact the the invoice include both 18% gratuity and services charges of $2.5/person, it seems like double charging but at least it's disclosed properly.Overall, the hotel is worth splurging for the best rooms and we plan to come back every summer.

Question: How nice are the neighborhood here?

Question: Does the hotel provide awesome bed?

We spent the weekend at the Westin St. Francis. We arrived at the hotel via BART from SFO, it is only a short 3 block walk up Powell and if you are looking to save a little money riding BART is not a bad option. Once at the hotel there was a short check-in line, but there was an employee greeting people in the line and thanking them for their patience. Once thru the line we were quickly checked in and head up to our room on the 26th floor. It is definitely worth the little extra for a higher room because of the view, but mainly because of the glass elevator ride each time you go to and from the room. The room was a nice size and had a flat screen TV (with actual HD programming) and of course the heavenly bed was great. We used the concierge a couple of time and Glen was great giving suggestions for things to do and places to eat, and remembered our names the second day we saw him. However one of the other concierges was not as friendly and he acted as we were inconveniencing him with numerous questions. The location is great right on Union Square, close to shopping and adjacent to the cable car line. If you are spending multiple days get the MUNI 3-day pass it is only $18 and you can ride the cable cars, electric street cars and buses as much as you like during the 3 days and save some money, as it is $5 to ride one way on the cable car.

Question: What was your impression about the lobby?

Question: What is the pound of the cable car?

The Stanford Court is nice but not that nice. This place would like to think of themselves as the Ritz-Carlton and they are not. The rates are overpriced and room service is ridiculous. For what they portray of themselves I would expect comfortable beds with nice fluffy pillows and soft blankets. Not so. Comforter looks like something out of a Red Carpet Inn and pillows were tiny and flat. This place isn't bad it definietely isn't anything special. A couple good things, the cable car stop is right outside on the corner which is convenient (although walking is more efficient than the cable cars. Ride it you'll understand). Also the staff is knowledgeable and curtious. The food is delicious if you eat there at all. Overall though it isn't worth it. If you want to spend your money and get quality stay at the Ritz-Carlton across the street.

Question: How is it get?

Chose this hotel for its location and $75/night average price for our stay. It was a clean, simple hotel in a great downtown San Francisco location 1/2 block from Union Square. Access to the BART, trolley and street cars was easy. Our room was small, quiet, simple, clean. Front desk staff were friendly and helpful. One small elevator for 8 floors, so patience is required there. The complimentary breakfast is barely adequate (toast and packaged muffins), but the breakfast room was nice with big windows on Powell Street. Took advice of another writer and stayed at back side of hotel, away from Powell St. Think a room with windows over Powell St. on upper floors 7 or 8 would be fine. Check out the 1/2 price ticket booth for plays & stage shows in Union Square.

Question: Is it a good place to stay?

Just spent two nights at the Marriott. I've been to this hotel before for brunch and other things but never actually stayed the night. Our room was perfect. We had a corner room on the 29th floor with an incredible view of the city. The bed was super comfy. The bathroom was large enough. The great thing about the Marriott is the location. We like that it's on 4th Street and walking distance to shopping and a quick trip to just about anywhere in the city. The bar on the top floor was pretty cool. We had a drink up there late Friday night and it was a good atmosphere. Overall a great stay, would highly recommend.

Question: How is the coffee?

I booked this hotel via booking.com at KLM website. I went through a lot of reviews and the one from Frommers Guide was most helpful. I got a good rate and no prepayment from the KLM website( linked to booking.com). Tuscon Inn was near the pier 39, which is a great location, checking in and out was easy. The staff were very helpful. The room was nice, good size and quite clean. The bathroom was big and clean as well. Although I was alone, room was good enough for a couple. The hotel had free coffee and drinks everyday and free access to wireless internet. The adjacent served nice breakfast. Great location and hotel. Try and not book anything from the hotel though, just walk up pier 39 and you will have more choice. The hotel does arrange a shuttle to the airport without any extra charge.

Question: How about bathroom?

Stayed in August 2009 for 3 nights.Rooms had a very clean and uncluttered feel to them. Decent size television and free in-room wireless internet was an absolute bonus. Bathroom was big and clean and certainly lacked the claustrophobic feel of lesser hotels. Staff were also very friendly and helpful when called upon.Located right next to Chinatown and only a short walk from large department stores and main tourist bus stops. Certainly worth a look next time you are in San Francisco.

Question: How was over all experience?

We received excellent customer service at check in with a free upgrade. The room was lovely and large, the linens/bed was wonderfully comfortable. Everthing was quiet and the assistance from everyone quite nice. The only drawback was the breakfast in the lovely atrium. Service took forever and the food was just so-so. Otherwise the location is fantastic as far as going anywhere in the city.

Question: What do you think about the staff?

We stayed there February 25th. Our first time and we definitely would return. Not a hotel for those who prefer the large chain, full service places. This is more like a small European hotel. Staff members were polite, friendly, knowledgeable and quick to address our needs. Rooms, while not large, are well appointed and VERY quiet. Both the gratis continental breakfast and evening wine/cheese events were perfect. Given that these are included in the room price, this hotel gives excellent value-for-money. The Inn is centrally located and that enabled us to walk easily to shopping areas, theaters and restaurants. The small alcoves at the ends of each floor, where both breakfast and wine/cheese are served are particularly nice because they encourage mingling among guests.

Question: How is the staff?

Hotel Drisco was two blocks away from where we were attending a 50th Anniversary Celebration and was a joy to come home to. We could not have been happier with the Concierge Marti, the front desk Michael and Bob who helped with everything. The breakfast was excellent and fully staffed. Everyone else has said it all. Top quality and fabulous staff.

Question: How did you find the staff?

Hotel des Arts is in a very old building with very old carpets and a very old elevator. The rooms are "clean" but not squeaky clean (i.e. I found an old bar of dried up soap under the bathtub- how long had it been there?!). The bathrooms are small, whether you have your own or share. The tubs are claw-foot without spots to set your shampoo, etc. The wash basin is in the sleeping area and also small and old fashioned. The staff is unfriendly, but not exactly rude. There are major positives here though. Many of the rooms have a frige and microwave, which was really convenient on a week long stay. The art is contemporary and interesting and EVERYWHERE. Every wall/ door of our room was painted and we really enjoyed it. There was a small closet in the room. The location is perfect. The breakfast is meager, but available every morning and FREE- an easy thing to grab a coffee and bagel in the AM, head back upstairs and get ready for the day. The bed was comfortable as were the linens. Overall, we felt like it was a great deal for the price in an otherwise expensive city. It's not fancy in any way, but many others like us (20's-30's, more interested in the city than in the hotel, appreciative of art even when it's not mainstream) seemed to be having an ok time too. Oh, we did ask for a "quiet" room as others have suggested and had no problem with early morning garbage collection noise. Maybe we were easy to impress after sleeping on the floor of the Grand Canyon and in a tent, freezing our butts off over the Pacific, but we'd definitely return here if the price was as good as what we paid this time.

Question: How small was the hotel bathroom?

Staff very pleasant and helpful. Very good location. Room a little dated and on the small side but functional. Bathroom on the small side with older fixtures. Overall good experience. Advise you park the car and use public transportation. You will find that parking in SF is expensive and almost impossible to find.

Question: How is the structure of the cable car?

If you are looking for accomodations like the Ritz, forget it. However, you cannot beat the Handlery for location and value. I stayed six nights and found it very clean and comfortable, along with an excellent staff. Arrived early and was given an early check-in with no hassle. The person at the front desk was very friendly and accomodating. Room was small but more than adequate for this single traveler. Bed very comfortable! The room could not have been cleaner, and it was serviced right on time every day with plenty of fresh towels and toiletries. The concierge was extremely helpful. Most of all I found the Handlery affordable and the location is superb, close to everything, and the cable car is right around the corner. Try the wonderful restaurant attached to the hotel (Daily Grill). You won't be disappointed!I would definitely stay at the Handlery again.

Question: What do you think about amenity?

I have been staying at the Tuscan Inn for the last ten years, always in June in connection with an annual event in San Francisco that I participate in. The location of Fisherman's Wharf area made me suspicious, as the area is very "touristy". However, the Tuscan Inn has the best of all worlds- great location, all the amenities, excellent staff, nice restaurant adjoining, and very reasonable prices. They have guests from all over the world, and the tradition of wine tasting each evening makes for some great new acquaintances and friendships.

Question: What is the quality of the bed?

This small hotel is a jewel. It's ideally located just over one block from Union Square and some of the best of local shopping. The staff is superb, very friendly and responsive to all our requests. The bed is one of the most comfortable hotel beds I've ever slept in. The decor is unique and charming. This is where we will stay for all our future visits to San Francisco.

Question: How is the staff?

We can only agree with the last couple of reviews. We booked this hotel based on its reviews in tripadvisor and its location. We really liked it: great location with good public transport connections for the rest of downtown, the rooms are modern and clean, beds are great, bathroom is excellent, breakfast is okay, staff is nice and helpfull. I do not for the life of me understand those people who complain about the location. Anyone who informs himself before going to SF knows that Fisherman's Wharf is a tourist trap. Big deal. If you don't want to walk the Pier or see the tourist shops, just head in the other direction. Or book a hotel in another part of town. We did not see any homeless people or beggars while we were there. We took the cable car in the evening to the restaurants in North Beach, came back late at night, no problem. This part of SF felt like our home neighbourhood, we did not feel unsafe or felt that we had to look over our shoulder. Definitely a good place to start your discovery of beautiful San Francisco.

Question: How is the hotel?

My wife and I took two trips to San Fran in 2004 and stayed at the best western both times. The first was for a week in January. The hotel location was great. We flew in to San Fran airport, took the BART downtown, and then took a cable car to a stop 1 block from the hotel. We didnt have or need a car so we didnt have to deal with parking a car I believe it is $30 a day-- par for the city. The hotel is clean and neat, our room was clean and comfortable. If I had to be critical the room could use a little updateing, but not a big deal. The front desk was friendly, however not terribly knowledgeable--I would assume high turnover. The location is great, if your an active person you can walk everywhere from this hotel, in fact we took a long run up the shore --crissy field and accross the golden gate bridge. North Beach starts a block away and heads north, we skipped the touristy fishermans warf area. Restaurants are everywhere, however we did not eat at the Tuscan restaurant in the hotel. As far as convenience--the cable car stop is 1 block away and that along with the outstanding bus system will get you everywhere you need to go. We plan on visiting the city often, and we plan on staying at this location for the foreseeable future.
