I stayed at the Beresford for 7 nights and had a fantastic time in San Francisco.Went to Monster Park to see the 49ers play the ravens,went to Alcatraz which is a must and if you want to walk across the Golden Gate Bridge it will take you around 40 minutes one way.There is an Irish bar called Lefty o' Doul's on Geary street 2 blocks down which is brilliant,met loads of irish,my own country men and many folks from Baltimore as they were playing the 49ers.Lefty's has live music every night which is fun although i went outside for a cigarette and got hassled by the homeless,don't give them any money as they will keep coming back.The Tenderloin disrict which is the bad part of San Francisco is not far away.Outside the Hotel turn right,walk 2 blocks along and walk down Powell and that will take you to the heart of Union Square.If you go left you are walking towards the Tenderloin.
The Hotel staff are friendly and can't do enough for you,if you come back late at night the Hotel is locked,you just have to ring the bell and someone will let you in.There is a bar next door called The White Horse which opens at 5:30 where you can have a beer and have you're dinner at a very reasonable price.You also have a free continental breakfast there from 7 till 10-30.The rooms are small but clean,depending which room you are staying it can be noisy at night.
A public transport ticket is $18 for 3 days but it is a great city for walking in.I walked to Fishermans Wharf through Chinatown and it took me 25mins,depending which way you go it can be VERY hilly.
Overall i loved my stay in san Francisco which was my first time in the United States.I made many friends and felt very safe as i was on my own and would recommend this hotel and would use it again if i come back
