We stayed one night on the way to Northern California at the Beresford. I usually stay at the Hotel Nikko but the prices were over $175 for a weekend night and we found this hotel for $100 with tax.
It was perfectly located to Union Square, the cable car line, great restaurants and a bar next door on the ground floor.
The Good:
There is an elevator. The rooms have A/C and heat. Great little shower, limited cable tv, a cute continental breakfast in the morning with really good fresh coffee and OJ. The beds were clean and the bathroom sanitized. You can dump your bags in a locked room for the day when you check out and go explore the city!
The Bad:
The rooms are on the small size without a lot of amenities (hair dryer, iron, extra pillows, etc). The front desk staff was pleasant but not overly helpful or friendly. No wifi or desk so probably not good for long business stays. I think some rooms are smoking so be warned if you get one of those and don't like smoke. The hallways are tiny and narrow but I thought that added to the charm.
The Ugly:
None.
This place is great overall. I'd stay here again in a heart beat. The price can't be beat in San Fran.
