If you like nice hotels, don't stay here.
I went to San Francisco for a wedding and needed an affordable place to stay, which is difficult in San Francisco. We paid a little more to stay at a Hilton, which we recalled was a decent hotel chain. The hotel is huge, the rooms are clean, and the service was very nice, but if the hotel had 2,000 less rooms it would be a Holiday Inn. I would rather be in my bed at home, and that is never fun when you are dropping $$$ for a hotel. I would recommend looking elsewhere. We chose the Union Square property because it was closer to Chinatown, so convenience factor was good.
