Great location. On Powell street and near Cable car, Bart, and Muni states. The hotel is small and not staff on site. Will need to check in at another hotel (Strafford). The room is simple but clean. No A/C which can be problematic during the summer. I stayed for 4 nights and didn't spend much time in the room which is fine. But I asked the staff (via text) for more coffee supply and got no response.
