We went during the busy season for San Francisco (October) and this was our "backup" hotel if we couldn't get a decent priceline or hotwire quote. Unfortunately, we couldn't get a hotel closer to downtown for less than double the rate at the Greenwich.
Note that some sites list this as a 3-star hotel. I definitely would put it squarely in the 2-star category. It's comparable to a Motel 6.
That said, the room itself was clean and had the basic amenities. It's on a very quiet street but was within a short walk of several restaurants, bars, and bus lines. The location is great if you're comfortable with buses (and you should be!), but if you're not, then the Lombard district is a long hike or moderate cab ride from most of the attractions. We did hike to Fisherman's Wharf, which was lovely, but took the bus back.
Don't expect too much--the service was curt, but prompt. The beds were super springy. The towels were small and worn to near sandpaper consistency. But hey--you're in San Francisco and you're not staying at a youth hostel!
