Old and lacking amenities ”
The location is great if you are seeing a show at the Regency Ballroom just a few blocks away, however, this is just a basic hotel with borderline outdated furniture and a bit noisy from the street below. Bring your earplugs. Parking is expensive, but what isn't in San Francisco?

Excellent location in Vann Ness street, 10 mins from Union Square and 20 mins from Fiherman’s wharf. You are by the famous California street and just a couple of blocks away from Bob’s Donuts. The view from the room was awesome. The bar and restaurant are decent for the prices charged. Recommended

Value for money and good location!”
For San Francisco price, this hotel is value for money for me. Late checkout fee was not too pricey too! The location was good too as hop on hop off buses picks tourists here in the morning. Room and hotel was clean and well maintained. Quiet also for a good night sleep since we are on a high floor, and view was great too. Walking distance to the city center too. Will highly consider staying again in my next visit to SFO.

Lovely clean room with large window overlooking San Fran so we had lots of natural daylight which was wonderful. Good coffee machine in room and buffet breakfast in Hotel Restaurant were great (We originally thought $20 per head was pricy but this turned out to be good value once you factor in the fruit and pastries we took with us for lunch). Staff polite and efficient.

Reasonable base for winter trip”
Mainly used this as a base for me to visit Yosemite. However, there's enough in the vicinity of the hotel to meet our needs - a Walgreens couple of blocks down and a Whole Foods just a block away. What was not so nice was seeing the homeless people around the corners. Ordinarily they're okay, but when I'm travelling with young children I'm just extra cautious.
