Ask for a view of the bay (and not a brick wall at the back).
Stayed here on the final leg of a Travelsphere tour of the west coast of the USA. San Francisco is a fab and cosmopolitan place but I get the impression that accommodation there is very expensive which is probably why Travelsphere uses this one. Don't get me wrong - everything required for a comfortable stay is provided, if you are from the UK it could be compared with a well known no-frills budget chain - but I personally would have liked a bit more luxury to match the ambience of the city. The rooms are smaller than the average USA hotel bedroom; we were on the third floor and had a terrible view of a wall at the back of the building but I understand it's possible to get rooms (no doubt more expensive) with a view of San Francisco bay. The hotel throws in a free continental breakfast, but the breakfast room was too small and it was a free for all rabble to get something to eat and drink.........as I say, OK, but next time I'm in SF I hope I can stay somewhere better!
