Hotel is in a perfect location for trip to the city. Right in the middle of Union square across the street from the park, and feet away from cable car stop. The Powell and Hyde cable car stop is two blocks away as is the Powell street Muni station. Perfect location to walk around, easy to get to Chinatown, fisherman’s wharf etc…
Room is on the smaller side as others have stated, with basic amenities. Did not have a prob w bathroom lights and shower is hot hot! Bring extra pillows if you need them though as hotel does not stock extra. Easy to pick up towels/TP at front desk on the way in or out if you need more. Did not hear much noise from the city at night even sleeping with window open. Also they do not store bags and no early check in. There is a souvenir shop directly across the street to store them if you arrive early for $8
Tip: you have to eat at the burger food truck off of Jones and Beach by the wharf it is delicious!!!
