stay at embassy
rooms are very spacious ,,, i think i got value for what i paid for ,, i knew that i would be using taxis etc and spending a lot of time sightseeing,,so i was never going to spend 24/7 in my room..i paid 95 dollars a night and was very happy with the value,,the location is not downtown but you pay 300 bucks downtown,, you are 10m max by cab to pier 39 and downtown shops,, you can walk daytime with no hassle at all.. you will see homeless all over san francisco,, they never bothered me..you get free wifi,, flat screen tv,,etc,,for the amount of time i spent there i was very happy,, brendas next door is a super restauraunt and making a huge name for itself,, the art college is across the road,,there is street noise in every city,,, the club like all clubs in this city close at 145,, its open 3 nights ,, i was there the 3 and enjoyed it,, cleared very fast,, overall i enjoyed my stay,, i knew what i was paying so my expectations were limited and therefore i was happy.. if i wanted 3/4 star i would have paid 250 dollars,, dont expect high standars when you are paying these rates,,mike
