Wrong Part of Town
We felt safe while at the hotel but the three blocks we walked daily to catch the local cablecar or bus didn't feel safe. Our tour guide one day cautioned us to be careful and even the lady driving the cablecar one night told us to be careful walking back. There were lots of homeless around, some sleeping on the sidewalk, that for the most part didn't bother us. The decor in this hotel was retro, rooms were Ok. We had problems with getting enough towels, wash clothes and coffee on a daily basis. We would call the front desk and they would send someone up with the supplies, except they didn't seem to know the difference between regular and decaf coffee. We spent almost a week here so you would think they would get it right at least once. Did I point out that our group had two rooms, both of which had the same problems. Most of the front desk people were friendly and polite. The rooms don't have air conditioning which was OK except you needed to have a window open at night. Our window opened into a courtyard area which didn't seem like a great idea. They also would open it when they cleaned during the day and leave it that way. Would have been easy for someone to get in. Very noisy!
