This was a great find one block from Union Square. The location could not be more central and convenient as a base for exploring San Francisco. The hotel was unexpectedly charming, with a friendly staff, live jazz on the mezzanine in the evenings, and a club level on the 15th floor with an outdoor terrace and a fitness area with jacuzzi. Our kids got in a routine of soaking in the jacuzzi each night after a long day of cool SF weather. Another unexpected bonus was the incredibly friendly and helpful concierge on the 15th floor. The actual room was modern, spacious, and impeccably clean. The sofa sleeper was in much better condition than average and comfortably slept two kids for four nights. The king bed was in excellent condition. One thing travelers should be aware of is that some of the nearby streets leading away from Union Square can get a bit sketchy, especially in the evening/early morning. This is just the reality of downtown SF. In terms of comfort and convenience, however, it would be hard to find a better place to stay in the city for the price.
