Fawlty Towers
This hotel was cheap and noisy with a bit of a funny smell but does have a good location in amongst the city centre.
I would have rated it OK for its price, except the male staff at reception were very unfriendly, and unhelpful with poor english (remniscent of Fawty Towers) when it came to adjusting our booking which was out by one day - only because it was done through expedia. Instead of allowing us to use a phone to make a quick call we had to go all the way to the mall to find a payphone to phone the website (a call on our international cell phones would have cost more than a night in this hotel).
We then had to wait about an hour for a fax to come through confirming the booking change from the website before we could check in. The staff changed later on, and I would like to say the female staff member was very helpful and actually showed empathy for our situation.
On my next trip so San Fran i will just fork out for one of the real hotels down the road, even if they are a bit pricey.
