Comfortable hotel for a visit to San Francisco
Pros:

Middle of centre, 5 minutes walk from union Square. Charming hotel, old style, big rooms, comfortable. Very friendly personnel. Nice breakfast and wine moment during the day.

Cons:

Nothing, hotel meets expectation, it is charming historic hotel (not a luxury hotel).

A lot is going on on the streets, police cars, homeless people. So noise is everywhere, also at night.

Pros:

Die Lage ist sehr gut, die Zimmer sind sauber und das Personal ist sehr freundlich.

Cons:

Leider ist das Frühstück furchtbar. Eigentlich kann man es nicht einmal als Frühstück bezeichnen, sondern eher als eine Auswahl an industriell verpackten Süßwaren, Joghurt und etwas Obst. Obwohl unsere Übernachtung inklusive Frühstück gebucht war, mussten wir jeden Morgen woanders frühstücken.
