Running a hotel in San Francisco must be like a license to print money, as most seem to be wildly overpriced for accommodation barely into the category of adequate.
The Milano looked like a good bet - it's in a good spot spitting distance from Market Street and next to all the public transport you'd possibly want. Decent value too.
Indeed, it proved to be a good find. The front desk staff are nice and friendly and barely batted an eye when bombarded with daft questions from a jetlagged Scotsman.
The hotel itself is nice, modern, clean and tidy. It loses points for the room being a little on the small side, and there being no safe in the room. We were told this was down to a programme of ongoing maintenance and would be remedied in due course, but it was still a hassle to have to leave stuff with the front desk - particularly an iPad, which wouldn't fit in their tiny safety deposit boxes.
Would probably stay here again - the location is good, although there's no parking and the nearby public carparks are fearsomely expensive.
