GOOD: Rooms were nice and spacious, beds extremely comfy! Mel's Diner is connected right to the lobby so you dont have to know your way around San Francisco in order to get good food. Also Tommy's Joynt across the street is DELICIOUS! I felt safe enough, especially being from out of town. Bus stop right next to the hotel made it easier for my group to commute down to the Warf.
BAD: Parking was horrible! Already paying steep prices for the rooms, now I have to add $25+ for parking A DAY! Some of the staff at the front desk were not helpful, but some were. Fortunately I was able to find my way around on my own.
UGLY: Polk street (street located right behind hotel) is not a safe place to be at night. It has some of the BEST hole-in-the-wall eaterys I have been to but in order to get to those places, you have to pass people sleeping on the walkways and guys asking for change at almost every intersection (this is only at night).
But if you're just looking for a place to lay your head after a weary day of sight-seeing, I would defiently recommed The Opal. It's about a 3 minute drive from the Warf and is right on Van Ness which is the life line (so it seems) of San Francisco. It fits perfectly in a "3 out of 5" rating.
