Pros:

Perfetta e strategica per un tour di 3 giorni senza il noleggio di un auto. A pochi metri dalla fermata della Bart dall'aeroporto e dalla stazione Muni per la metro di S. Francisco. Non ultimo capolinea di una delle 3 linee di Cable Car

Cons:

Direi nulla, copritevi bene c'è sempre tanta aria e attenzione ai continui sali e scendi per muoversi, se non avete delle buone ginocchia è impegativo

Estancia muy agradable en un hotel con una ubicación estupenda
Pros:

Las habitaciones son amplias y limpias, y la cama es cómoda. El hall y la sala del cafe son elegantes y acogedoras. Se agradece que el hotel disponga de un servicio de cafe gratuito por las mañanas y un dispensador de agua filtrada para rellenar las botellas. Nos dieron una invitación a una copa en el restaurante que finalmente no utilizamos. El personal es atento y muy amable. La ubicación del hotel también es algo a destacar ya que está cerca de todo.

Cons:

En realidad todo estuvo bien. No obstante, sí me hubiera gustado que el servicio de cafetería incluyera zumo y algo de comer. También sería recomendable un cambio del mobiliario y la decoración de las habitaciones ya que puede parecer algo anticuado, aunque entiendo que forma parte de la imagen que se quiere dar de un hotel que lleva muchos años de servicio. Otro aspecto es que se encuentra cerca de Tenderloin, lo cual implica que frecuentemente se vean vagabundos por la calle en la noche, sin embargo no es algo que se pueda reprochar al hotel (el centro urbano de San Francisco es así)
