Great location for not a very nice hotel
I recently tried to book a hotel in the financial district of San Francisco. Due to a conference, all the major hotels were booked, but the Baldwin had a room for $129 / night. I was coming for business without a family, so I booked the room. Upon arriving, I was disappointed. The hotel is clearly quite old, and while not falling down, it's upkeep could be better. The rooms have metal keys (the large kind you can't take with you), the room itself was very small, the mirror in the bathroom was not above the sink, ect... plus no air conditioning and a very old TV. It wasn't awful, and was fine for one night on a business trip, but it was by no means enjoyable and I wouldn't go back.
