The place is like a little student hotel (with no room service/cleaning unless requested). It is 7 stories high and it is currently undergoing minor renovation (but it didn't affect us in any way). The room itself was comfortable, the bathroom too. The building is very secure and we've seen lots of travellers in our age group as we took the lift or had a coffee in the cafe or did our laundry (there is a place to do laundry on the 2nd floor). On the 1st floor is a cafe and a bar, and you will step out onto one of the bustling streets. It's very quick to walk anywhere around the city centre from here. Just below the building and to the left is a Mexican place called Chipotle which does the best bowls we've tried! And 2 mins up the road is the GoCar rental (a gps controlled drive around SF to see the sights, which we highly recommend and enjoyed so much!). A really great location to be based from!
