Nice hotel room - terrible location!
I stayed in this hotel when I visited San Francisco last week. The hotel itself was nice. The room was very comfortable and very clean. The bed was very comfortable! Staff was friendly and very accomodating. But, that is where it stops. The included continental breakfast consisted of terrible coffee, hard muffins, and thick juice. The lobby was dirty, chairs were stained, and dirty laundry was surrounding the only ice machine. Elevator was fine, but slow, and doors opened before it even arrived on the floor. Hotel corridors, at least ours on the 4th floor, smelled like marijuana the entire 4 days we were there. Hotel location is terrible (Folsom and 7th street). There are good restaurants nearby, but incredibly shady people walking around at all hours of the day. Very unsafe. We were accosted on more than one occasion, causing us to retreat back to the room for the rest of the day, too scared to leave. Definitely felt safe once in the room, but did not feel safe leaving. Marvin, the hotel manager, was very friendly and very accomodating. If the hotel was in another part of town, I would stay there again. I did feel that the price (about $100 a night) was a little ridiculous for the location and ameneties offered, but it is San Francisco. Just an FYI, no pool or restaurant on premise.
