Good place to stay downtown San Francisco
I have stayed at The Beresford a number of times because I am regularly attending a workshop in S.F. and am given only that option. It is a good place, clean, but with no frills. Last I stayed on the sixth floor, but the elevator worked well, so no problem. The bed was very good, heating worked, bathroom was nice, so everything really ok. It all looks a little old, but it is clean and just fine. For some of us the noise level from outside was a little high, but I slept very well. Free wifi downstairs in the lobby and in a little room next to it. Free breakfast (o.j., coffee, cereal, muffins, grapes), and in the evening free hotdogs and popcorn. The hotel is conveniently located up the hill from BART. Receptionists friendly and helpful. There was no problem putting our luggage into storage the last day (no charge). One of my colleagues had come with a car, and they parked it for her ($27./day).
