The hotel is conveniently located near Fisherman's Wharf with great facilities. The rooms offered good, quick connections but lacked a microwave or mini-fridge and USB ports. The service had some issues with noise disturbances and unhelpful staff. The location is ideal for exploring San Francisco but might be a bit far from main attractions. The dining experience was satisfactory with healthy breakfast options. Overall, the facilities were decent but room for improvement.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms felt a bit outdated and in need of a makeover soon. The breakfast was a bit of a shock with a limited selection, and the surprise of having to pay $40 per night for parking was not ideal. However, the location was outstanding, being close to key attractions like Lombard Street and Fisherman's Wharf.

The hotel was perfect for our family of 5, but had a strange smell that lingered, possibly due to cleaning chemicals. The rooms were spacious but not very secure as the window could be easily opened with no view. The service was generally friendly, except for one irritated front desk person. The location was convenient, close to Fisherman's Wharf. The dining options were basic, with limited choices. The facilities were average overall.

I had a mix of experiences during my stay. The hotel is well-located with convenient access to public transportation and is within walking distance of good restaurants. The rooms provided a good view of the Golden Gate Bridge but had an annoying smell that seemed to linger due to cleaning chemicals. The service was fantastic with staff going above and beyond to assist, although the ventilation system in the room was a bit loud. The dining options were minimal, and the quality was not impressive, but the fresh meats were a notable positive. The facilities were average overall.

The hotel is in a good neighborhood of San Francisco, in a very pleasant location close to Polk street with plenty of restaurant choices. The rooms had a freestanding air purifier, which wasn't enough to keep the air fresh, and the lack of a fridge or microwave made it frustrating not to bring back food. However, the service provided was a real joy; the staff relied on tips and promised a release of the guarantee cost soon after payment. The dining options were basic, with only coffee, bread, and limited protein choices, though the homegrown organic fruits were a nice touch. The facilities were standard with additional laundry and dry-cleaning services available.

The hotel is situated on Van Ness Street, offering a reasonable location with easy access to popular spots like Fisherman's Wharf and Polk Street. The rooms are decent, but don't expect a luxurious experience, especially with the small window and potential noise issue at 3 am. The service was efficient, although not overly friendly, and we had a slight inconvenience with a neighboring Asian restaurant. Despite some drawbacks, the location is convenient for exploring San Francisco and offers access to public transportation, though it comes with a price. Dining options were average and somewhat limited due to the Chinese restaurant below. Overall, an okay value for the money.
