8.2/10

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms were really nice and in a great location away from the Tenderloin. The breakfast was more like a little flat, but had lots of space and was comfortable, clean, and newly renovated. The staff were very pleasant and accommodating, with up-to-date furnishings and were all really friendly and very informative. The hotel was flexible in letting us leave the car in the parking after check out, which was a great convenience. The dining experience was better than average, offering coffee, tea, orange juice, and hot chocolate, with oranges, oatmeal packets, yogurts, and packaged danishes. The location was great, with good public transport and close to Fisherman's Wharf and Chinatown. However, there were some areas with a lot of homeless people on the streets around the hotel, but overall, a bit more removed from the tourist traps with a fun local culture of its own.
