San Francisco is expensive and you get what you pay for. At The Bartlett, you don't pay much (by San Francisco rates) so you get a basic room with basic sheets/blankets/towels, industrial-strength soap and shampoo, and spotty TV reception (but good free WiFi). It's a dank old SF building, but the rooms are very clean and the bathroom (which looked to be recently renovated) was positively sparkling. It's in an ideal location, right in the middle of things, with easy access to everything you want in San Francisco. Security is good, with key access to two lobby doors and even room key access to the elevator. Best of all, the front desk guy was very friendly and efficient. I've paid more for less in the city (grimy room, bathroom down the hall, etc.). I'd totally stay here again.
