Excellent location. Surprisingly quiet despite being in the center of everything. Very clean and friendly. The room was pretty small but great otherwise. If you drive you have to park yourself in one of the nearby parking garages but that’s the case with all the hotels in the heart of the city as best I can tell. If I was just visiting SF I would have skipped the rental car and used public transit. The trolley runs right in front of the hotel.

The hotel is an older completely remodeled facility. The amenities in the room were excellent, adequate lighting, chairs and electrical outlets. Room is fairly small but adequate. Parking in the area is a major challenge, and very expensive. Parking furnished at extra cost by the hotel was valet only, with disclaimers for damage to the car, and a 20 minute wait to retrieve it. We used the public garage which cost $46.00 per day.

Old building, but clean and updated. Cable cars go right down the street. Nice lobby. I traveled with my daughter and the two double beds was perfect. Short walk from Powell St BART station makes getting to and from the airport seamless. Cheap and frequent buses take you to all the sights in SF. Good
