I had some trepidation about staying in the Tenderloin (having lived there for about a year), but The Bartlett is just off of Powell St. - great location. The hotel has a nice lobby area and bar/restaurant on the ground floor. The front desk was very helpful. This was a small hotel in a classic downtown San Fransisco, not just some random rooms. It is no-frills, but my room and its private bathroom were clean and tidy. It was a small, simply appointed room (queen-size bed, wall-mounted shelf desk, wall-mounted bedstands), but exactly what you need when staying in downtown San Francisco if you don't want to spend several hundred (or more) dollars a night. The TV was just basic cable with not-great clarity, but you should not be staying downtown if your aim is to watch TV. The room would be plenty of room for two people. There are also more hostel-like rooms available where 3-4 rooms share a bath and shower, if you are really on a tight budget. But for about $100 a night, for a clean room with a private bath, right next to the tourist/convention hotspot, you can't beat it!
