Pequeño hotel en el centro del downtown de SF
Pros:

La ubicación del alojamiento, en el mismo centro del downtown de San Francisco. Nos dejaron guardar las maletas después del check-out.

Cons:

Pequeño y con poco espacio para dejar la ropa para el precio que tiene. Fue complicada la comunicación con ellos previo a la reserva. Los enchufes USB no funcionaban.

Nice modern hotel tucked away in busy area
Pros:

Great location for either walking to spots of interest or catching public transport
Small room as expected and was modern and clean
Quiet and had what we needed

Cons:

Would have been nice to get a little more info from staff at check in- like where water refills were or the fact you can get free coffee at cafe attached to hotel as found this out from other guests
