This is the perfect hotel for exploring the city. The hotel is on Kearney at Washington. Kearney is almost level walking which is a blessing in this hilly city. Some streets are down right steep. You can walk easily from the hotel to downtown Market Street to Columbus and Pier 39 on the waterfront at Fisherman's Wharf. The hotel is 2 blocks from the heart of Chinatown and across the street from the Chinese cultural center. It is a 10 minute walk from Market Street shopping, the waterfront, North Beach and Little Italy on Columbus Street. There are several excellent restaurants in a one to two block radius. The hotel is clean, efficient and the rooms are spacious. The bus and street car are close and nice alternatives at $2.00 to expensive taxis if you chose not to walk.
