We had a family trip to SF and stayed for three nights. This is really a fantastic location for us as first time visitors. The place is clean and convenient. We had ice cream from across the street and walked to the waterfront multiple times. There were some noise at night from restaurant downstairs, but that didn't bother us at all, as we were all tired up exploring the city during the day, and all our family didn't have any problem falling asleep at night. In fact, my children felt rather excited by this unique background bedtime "music" (we came from a rather quiet suburb of DC area.)
