The room I had (#43) was right above the office; no problem with that but the noise from Lombard Street (aka Highway 101) was quite noticeable. There was a nice fan in the room that helped with white noise. The room was quaint, clean, and had everything needed. There were more homeless people on Lombard, but once you get away from that street and head toward Chestnut, it cleans up quite a bit. Chestnut Street offers everything; great restaurants, little shops, coffee shops, bakeries, a couple of markets. Loved it.
