Worst location in San Fran according to a local!
My partner and I booked this hotel for 4 nights and stayed for only one!
We arrived around 6pm on our first day following our flight from the UK, on the way to the hotel I expected to be excited but the closer we go to the Cova the more homeless and gangs of youths were on the street corners and I felt very concerned. When we were dropped off by the hotel shuttle a lady on the bus said 'don't worry, San Francisco is a great city', alarm bells were ringing!
The following day we used the free hotel shuttle to visit other areas of the city and the shuttle was very good. Later that day we talked to a local who told us to not leave our hotel unless we were in taxi as th area was very very bad. The taxi driver that dropped us back to the hotel that night then advised us it wasn't the homeless we needed to be careful of but the gangs and the muggings that happen around there. We checked out 15 minutes later!!
I have to say the hotel inside is ok, clean rooms and friendly staff. The hotel rooms are very noisy as it's obviously a neighbourhood that is very busy when it's dark. 
Anyone wishing to book this hotel I strongly advise you not to unless you are happy to not be able to walk outside your hotel and feel comfortable.
