"Nice Hotels Lousy Area" Areas to Avoid Tip by giampiero6

Areas to Avoid, San Francisco: 87 reviews and 25 photos

 
 

Strangely, many of the city's most luxurious and most popular tourist hotels are in the worst part of the city...next door to the tenderloin where hordes of prostitutes and drug dealers and junkies walk the streets. I would really recommend finding out exactly where you are staying before booking a hotel. For example the Nikko (and Hyatt or Hilton I believe) are in this area. It's strange because SF is such a beautiful small city that its gritty downtown seems out of place. Like a small studio set in a gorgeous city and that's where they put the hotels?????

Review Helpfulness: 1.5 out of 5 stars
