Awesome location if you want to be by Union Square. Cable car stop right in front of the hotel. Easy place to get to anywhere in the city. 30 min from SFO. Grocery store 100 ft from hotel. I had a room facing away from the street so no outside noise issues. Very comfortable bed. very clean, with nice sink in room. Bath and shower were down the hall, and they were very clean and never had issues getting access. Water flow with shower was low, but worked well enough to take a shower. Good microwaves and laundry facilities in the community room. When the person next door was taking a shower or using the bathroom in her room i could hear very clearly what was going on in her bathroom. So I imagine she could here me too.
