San Francisco Hotel Tips by jacob_m

The Radisson Miyako is a Japan-inspired hotel located in Japantown in the western part of the city centre.
It may not be very centrally located by there are frequent buses to Union square and you can walk there in about 20 minutes so I never experienced the location as a problem.
On the other hand this is a good hotel if you want a different experience and I kind of enjoyed it
There is a nice shopping centre right next to the hotel which has some nice and pretty inexpensive restaurants and many Japanese shops.
Service was OK but they could have been a little bit more attentive and helpful at the front desk. Having to argue with the man at the front desk to accept my frequent flyer card (to earn points for the stay) after having spent 15 hours in an airplane was no hit.
The bell boy was very friendly though.

Unique Qualities: The rooms are of a good standard with many Japanese influences. The bathroom has a Japanese bathtub which was quite strange but amusing to use, took me a while to figure out how to use it though, they also provide Japanese bathsalt for the real experience.
I got a room high up which had a really nice view from the balcony.
The lobby is nice looking but the restaurant was closed when I was there.
As a consequence the hotel did not serve breakfast but the bell boy suggested a restaurant right across the street which had nice breakfast menus and good service.
