definitely funky place
Overall a good experience, good value. Very funky, dark and rather "nightclub like" lobby - the bar, the Redwood room, is beautiful and the service was good. Adequate exercise room and business centre; limited free internet 15 min/day (enough to check email and book in for flights). Concierge friendly and helpful. Location very convenient to Union Square, but be aware the hotel is on the edge of the (dangerous) Tenderloin, so ask the concierge where not to walk. We went to a great breakfast place (Dottie's) just off market street, but rather than take a direct walk 3 blocks we were advised to go back to Union square and circle around 9 blocks just to take a safer route - on a Monday morning - very disconcerting. Our "loft junior suite" was bigger than a standard hotel room with large windows and a comfy couch, ipod player and flat screen TV. No coffee maker in the room, sadly. Aesthetic is modern, funky, not really my thing but at least it is fresh and very clean. I'm not sure there is a perfect hotel in SF but this was quite good for the price charged.
