Average hotel, below average area
When we were first walking to the hotel I felt intimated by the area, lots of homeless but they never bothered us and we soon got use to them. The hotel is a stone throw away from Powell street (tourist area) and the cable cars, there is also alot of homeless there and they do bother you looking money round this street. The Hilton hotel and a starbucks is beside this hotel and a hostel and nice Indian restaurant is across the road. I wouldn't feel safe walking around the hotel area at night but walking from Powell street to the hotel was fine. Staff were very friendly, hotel itself was fine.
