Excellent location. Union Square is 2 blocks away and Dragon’s Gate (entrance to China Town) is 1 block away. 1 block away there’s a Starbucks and a CVS. Public transportation (buses and cable cars) are 1 block away and there’s easy access to San Francisco airport with the Bart train (get off at Powell Street or Montgomery Street) which are some blocks away. There’s a lot of steep hills in San Francisco wherefore you’re probably going to use public transportation at some point wherefore I recommend to buy a Muni Passport (you can also use the app MuniMobile) for 1, 3 or 7 days. 325 Sutter is actually Park Hotel and it’s both a hotel and a place for permanent residents. Friendly staff. Pictures of room are true. Very comfortable bed. In the room there’s also a small fridge where I had milk and a pack of cereal for easy breakfast. The TV in the room has very bad reception and there’s only 7 channels to choose from (not important to me). From the window you will look into a wall in the small yard = no view and other people leave their windows open as well so expect some noise with the window open. Toilet is shared in the hallway (there’s 2 on the 4th floor) and shower (there’s 1 on the 4th floor) is shared in the hallway too. People tend to leave their hair, shavers etc. in/on the tub hence you need to be ok with this as you never know who or how many went before you. It’s your choice to use a shower on another floor. Please bring your own slippers or flip flops. As advertised there’s no aircondition and the room gets very hot but it’s possible to borrow a fan if asked for in the reception. You need to ask for a hair dryer in the reception as well if needed. On street level you will find the lobby and the laundromat $3 per washer $2 per dryer where you bring your own detergent. In the lobby there’s also a microwave you can use but you need to bring your own cutlery or buy plastic. In the lobby there’s also free coffee. I recommend Lori’s Diner 2 blocks away for breakfast but expect some waiting time if you aren’t there early. I also recommend to try out focaccia bread (with raisins are amazing) at Liguria Bakery at Washington Square – but don’t be there too late as otherwise they’re sold out.
