San Francisco Hotel Tips by Mandy23

Overall we had a nice stay. The only minus was an impolite phone conversation that we had with an employee of the hotel a day before our arrival. That aside, the room was clean, equipped with coffee maker, iron board, tv, internet access (their wireless business rate was $ 12.95/day), hairdryer in the bathrrom etc
They have a breakfast buffet with everything from fresh fruit to toast, pastries, muffins, breakfast potatoes, eggs benedict, bacon, sausage etc etc

Unique Qualities: If you wanna spend some time near Fisherman's Wharf, it's ideally located, just two blocks away. To go downtown, you can catch the bus #30 (Stockton) across the street, which will drop you off exactly at the hotel entrance on your way back.

It's a large hotel with almost 1000 rooms and 32 floors. We stayed on #23 with nice views over the city. The room was alright and clean but the water pressure is weak and it took up to 10 minutes to get hot water. Internet is not cheap either with $9.95. Unfortunately this is from noon to noon, no matter when you check in or out.
Its centrally located near Market and Powell Street with BART, bus and cable car right next door and many shopping opportunities nearby.
We booked relatively late and paid $229 (1st night) and $249 (2nd night). I would only go back if we could get a lower rate.
