This is always my go-to hotel when I am in San Francisco. The area is clean and safe, the staff is very attentive, and the room is always clean, comfortable, and stylish. This last visit, they were able to accommodate my early check-in time so I could handle a conference call. They have a fun and lively lobby/bar area. I highly recommend staying here.
