I had second thoughts about this hotel when I booked due to various negative comments. However My wife an I stayed in a double room with private bathroom for 10 nights. My primary purpose was attending a conference at Moscone Centre, and also sight seeing in and around SFO. Following are our experience No bed bugs, bed was fully comfortable. Bed is not Queen size, but enough for a couple Bed linen and towels were clean and changed daily. Hotel staff was friendly and courteous. They allowed a early check-in (since the room was available). There were homeless people in the roads around, but this was a issue in entire city, not specific to this hotel. Also they were harmless. I even walked in the streets alone very late at night. Transport was very convenient, BART is just next to hotel. Busses and trams available just in front of hotel. Moscone centre was walking distance. However Uber parks on the road behind the hotel. Airport shuttle from the hotel was very convenient and was cheap.

Minna Hotel is a newly renovated place with good security located in a very convenient place in SF. Buses and trams were close by and it was a 7-10 minute walk to the closest train station (Civic Center/UN Plaza Station). South of Market would not be ideal for solo female travellers or young families. There are bound to be homeless people in any city you visit. The ones in SF were harmless and you can just avoid them by walking on the opposite if there were many groups of them or just avoid any contact. My friend and I are female travellers and we kept alert at all times especially at night when walking back to our hotel. The facilities including the shared bathrooms and toilets were clean and well-kept, and I really liked their communal area. There was always plenty of food for breakfast, which was a plus. They also had a range of tea/coffee and juices in the morning. The lift was a big plus too. There were no fans or air-conditioning (they may have installed new ones by now) in our room so we had to open the windows at night for ventilation. However, there were always traffic noises and shouting from the passerbys or groups below our hotel.

Desmond is the least expensive choice for you. The room is quite small and you've gotta share the bathroom. But it doesn't matter to me coz I spend all day out. The most advantage of this hotel is the location. It's very convenient to go everywhere. Just walk one block to the Market Ave and you can take bus, bart, or cable car to explore the city. There is a best Vietnamese restaurant in town which is just a few steps walk from the hotel.

We were a party of 4 adult family members in San Francisco visiting during the America's Cup so hotels were very expensive. Our travel agent found and recommended the 3* America's Best Value Inn & Suites SoMo (south of Market Street) and we were very pleased with everything. Good accommodations, comfy bed at a reasonable price. A 10 minute walk to the BART (subway), so minutes from everything. An up and coming area (funky) with local bars and resuautants all around. All in all a good stay and highly recommended.

We booked the Griffon for our first few days in California, and having stayed there we booked it again for our last days (in between we did a road trip) because it was pretty much perfect for us. The location is excellent, just a few blocks from the 'Ferry Building' which is a 'must visit' destination but also a great place to go for coffee, lunch, dinner, etc. and one and a half blocks from 'Market Street' which is probably the biggest shopping street, which also takes you to the cable car turnaround and so on. You can easily (and very happily/pleasantly) walk all the way around 'fisherman's wharf' from the Griffon. The front desk staff and concierge were all lovely and helpful. One big plus is the on-site bar/restaurant, Perry's. Perry's seem to have a few bar/restaurants in San Francisco and must have some sort of agreement to operate in the Griffon and it's a plus over most 'in-house' operators, and is also very much a destination for people not staying in the hotel, somewhere you feel comfortable having breakfast, sitting at the bar with a beer and a meal, sitting in the dining area having a couple or friends or family dinner, we found it ideal. The bedrooms are on the small side but this seems to be the norm in San Francisco, and you don't *need* more space, that's just a nice to have. Be aware that the vanity unit/washbasin is in the bedroom (well in our room it was, it's not universal), not in the bathroom, which is a little 'unusual' but didn't mar the stay for us. The aircon was good, the shower good, the usual flat screen TV etc. Many people moan there are 'too many homeless people in this area' when reviewing San Fran hotels, but I didn't find this to be the case around the Griffon, I think you'll encounter that if you are right on the tourist streets rather than two blocks off. The pricing was also pretty good compared to San Fran norms, I wouldn't call the Griffon cheap, not at all by 'other places standards' but for San Fran it's very reasonable. I kn

The Mosser Hotel in Downtown San Francisco is right across the Mariott on the corner of Market St. and 4th St., so it is a really great location. A movie theatre, lots of shopping and some nice bars are just around the corner. The Hotel is very clean is rooms were serviced daily. Minor disadvantages are the size of the rooms and that the A/C is missing. Other than that, it is a perfect hotel for a short trip to SF.

this hotel does not look all that great from the outside. it is in "an up and coming" area of san francisco, the south of market district (soma), home of many tech start-ups. however, the area is still a bit rough and many travellers might be put off by this location. however, the rooms in this hotel are much better than the view from the outside might signify. rooms are spacious, with very comfortable beds, a microwave and a refrigerator. there is a trader joes about two blocks away so you can bring food back and keep it in the fridge. front desk staff vary: some friendly, some not so friendly. i can't quarrel with a free breakfast but selections are limited. still, all in all, a very good value for the money in one of the country's most expensive cities.

No lift, so all heavy bags I had to carry up the stairs. Room was small but for that cash, it is satisfactory even though later I stayed in a much better hotel nearby for less amount. Common toilet so the cleanliness was questionable even though it's not the hotel's fault. The odd thing is there was some kind of unpleasant smell in the room even though I got adjusted to it after 1 to 2 hours.

We were able to get right to the room fairly easily for the 80. I was stressing over the room because of all the lower reviews I have read. I thought it was going to be another south end mission street disaster. It was not! free parking, very cute and clean rooms, privacy, quiet neighbors, one of the biggest bathrooms I've seen for the price (I've been in places where it seems that you can barely get the door closed becasue the toilet is so close to the doorway.). a breakfast place just down the street, market only a few blocks north. you can walk anywhere from here (and we did), or you can take the buses if you feel adventurous. loved my mini vacation! will stay here again next time.

what i liked best about this hotel was the very quaint decor which made us want to stay in our rooms longer. restaurants are easily accessible. there is am affordable vietnamese place just 2 buildings away. there is also a burger joint but we didn;t have enough time to try that one out. an pleasant surprise was the free breakfast provided by a nearby cafe. there is easy access to shopping and sigtseeing if one just walks up 2 blocks to market street. just be prepared for shady looking characters that roam around the streets nearby. after all, soma was a downhill aread in the past.

The hotel overall is excellent. Big clean and modern rooms with comfy beds. Staff are welcoming and helpful. Location is good to access all directions to main places. You may ask for a room in the higher floors because there are major constructions works inside and outside the hotel that lower floors can be noisy in the morning. We were lucky that no constructions work during weekends where our visit was.

hotel location is only 5-8 minutes walk from powell st. bart station, i was told the nearby shopping mall is one of the best. i saw allt he nice brands diesel, gap and a lot others right on the powell street, a lot of good restaurants on street missions, too. muni, bart to every part of the city is minutes away on powell st.. super convenient for sightseeing plans. hotel itself is cool. staff are friendly, professional and generous to help with every single smallest request. i had very good experience with housekeeping, frontdesk (checkin/out), concierge, luggage storage, valet people there, they are so cheerful, warmhearted and energetic, offering me a very good start/finish of a day. room is big, bathroom and bed settings are sweet and neat -- only thing i wished to have is a couple free tv channels, shows or movies to enjoy the huge plasma tv a a couple minutes. in-room bar is cute and well-organized, complimentary coffee from machine with take-away cups is very considerate. restaurant luce downstairs is actually a michelin rated one; plus i heard gym opens 24hrs which makes it even better. didn't have time to check these out but the hotel will be top of my list when i re-visit sf.

this was our first time in san francisco and our travel agent spent hours searching for the right hotel and the best rate. he knoes san francisco well and found the westin san francisco market street hotel, a 5* hotel, in a wonderful location. we were more than happy with this hotel, the facilities and friendliness of the staff. and the rate we paid through adoga was approx per night room only, so when you see it grad it as it sells out fast, and lesser hotels in quality and star rating cost a lot more. so, in a nutshell, great location, great room and bathroom and great rate. highly recommend.

This is the second time I stayed at the Pickwick. It's a relatively old hotel, but has been well maintained. Perfect location given that it's actually at the heart of Mission and Market streets. It's just behind Bloomingdales, and walking distance to Macy's. The only thing I didn't like about the area is during late night/dawn. I'd wake up during the middle of the night because of police sirens in the area. Some of my friends say that the area really isn't tourist-friendly at night, so I made sure that I'm back at the hotel before it got dark.

We traveled from far abroad for a couple days in SF and stumbled across Zelos through our online research. The reviews were high but in no way true to the experience we had. Don't be fooled; this hotel should receive 10/10 rating. We were blown away by the every aspect of our stay from quality of the room, cleanliness, customer service, staff attitude and one of the most strategic location in the city. Special shoutout to Michael who checked us in on the night of our arrival. He is a very good person with a big heart who went the extra mile to make sure we had the best possible stay. He deserves a recognition.

The hotel is a good option in an expensive city although there is no mention of the $35 a day that they charge for car parking. The area itself is fine, however the walk to the start of a typical tourist day was quite unnerving for my two children. The area of Market Street just north of the hotel is an area frequented, by the homeless, the addicted and their dealers. To be offered hard drugs whilst walking with my family was not something I appreciated. We did come up with a way in and out of the area during our second stay which made everyone more comfortable. The hotel itself was fine, clean and safe. We did not eat at the hotel however there was a bar that was frequented by some local characters that was worth visiting.

Excellent location, right next to Westfield shopping centre and many other shops, with both designer labels and staple sportswear brands nearby. Follow Market St all the way East and you arrive at the Ferry Building (approx 20-30 min walk) which is a lovely spot to grab lunch or snacks in a 'food market' style place. Breakfast was not included in the rate, which suited me fine as there are numerous places nearby to grab a full on breakfast or just coffee and pastries. The on-site Cavalier restaurant does a good job for breakfast too (though it's not cheap). The hotel itself is practically brand new, and has a pretty arty/trendy feel to it. The bedrooms are adequately sized and the design element makes it feel quite light and airy (if you get an outward facing room with a window). All in all, a great place to stay in SF.

The stay was really great beside 1-2 things that can be improved. The room and bed was comfortable and slept at night peacefully. Location 5 minutes walk to Market Street. Need some improvement on housekeeping as the room was not properly clean on day 3 and we always need to call reception to replenish things in the room. To the extend we didn't know that we need to pay USD34 for just mineral water. We thought it was a complementary water bottles. Only on the 3rd day we realised those are paid bottles until I saw the bill. The service at concierge is pretty good.

- located two blocks from Market Street (BART and MUNI station Civic Center) and two more blocks from Market/ Powell, where the Cable Car starts - this hotel is overpriced, like the most other in downtown SF - the room was basic, clean - ok - staff was friendly, no problems - free coffee in the morning in the lobby, free wifi - about the homeless: you'll find in the hotelneighbourhood not more homeless than on Powell St or the other touristic areas, but less tourists. So you'll feel that there are more homeless, but don't worry they are harmless.

Breakfast was surprisingly quite good. The egg dishes were "real", fresh, tasty, chobani yogurt, oatmeal and all you need for it such as craisins, yummy waffles, nice, fresh fruit-bananas, apples, oranges-, fruit salad, fresh fruit juices, coffee very good, selection of teas and hot chocolate mix, pastries, especially the scones. Location is very good, 10 minutes max walk to Union Square, 5 minutes to awesome Westfield Mall, and tons of stores on Market Street, 5 minutes to BART station: very easy, fast-30 minutes- and cheap way to get to airport, one way: $ 9.65 Yes, there are homeless like so many other places in S.F. but they were no bother.

we booked 5 nights here at the end of a long trip in a campervan - it made the perfect luxury end to our holiday! we had our bikes with us and loved being able to go straight out from the hotel and cycle along embarcadero - then continue all the way to the golden gate bridge and over to marin county or across to the presidio. the hotel staff stored the bikes for us in the luggage room and were extremely accommodating - nothing was too much trouble for them. we had a bay view room with fantastic views day and night - you won't want to turn on the television! free wine in the early evening was an added bonus - although we didn't always often make it back to the hotel in time.

The hotel is located at one end of Market street which is a good location for getting around San Francisco. It's directly at Mongomery station from where you can take the subway, or the BART (to the airport for only about $8) or the famous old F Cars (the wooden trams). It's a very grand and pretty old hotel in the 'public' areas but the rooms, although clean and well presented, are fairly basic and as could be expected in any business class hotel.

I read the reviews and thought people were overreacting - they were not. The neighborhood is terrible - I did not feel safe walking around after dark by myself. Beyond that - there are major problems with the hotel. (1) There was no heat - I was freezing all night (the thermostat was turned to the max - but nothing happened). (2) There is no front desk - this was problem b/c in the middle of the night (3am) I heard someone stumbling down the stairs and around the hall. They then proceeded to knock on my door (I did not know anyone else staying at the hotel). When I didn't answer, I heard them sigh and then bang on my door (also no deadbolts on the hotel room doors - this is a small thing they could do to make you feel a tiny bit better). And as there is no front desk there was no one I could call for help. (3) No Wifi, there were no networks that exactly matched the info I was given, I tried logging into a similar sounding one and was able to get one for a minute then it cut out and I tried for 15 minutes to get it back and could not. (4) Again, bad neighborhood, and I could hear everything with the windows closed from the nightclub down the street to people yelling and fighting until dawn. I can say the woman who cleaned the rooms and gave me my key was very friendly and did a fine job. To sum up, I didn't sleep thanks to the cold, noise, and concerns about my safety and that's the one thing a hotel promises - a place to sleep.
