Right in the heart of Union Square neighborhood and near the gates of Chinatown (which is fantastic to visit!!). Took the BART to Montgomery and walked to the hotel. Great pedestrian location. I stayed early February 2012 in Room 706 for 4 nights. The hotel was going through some renovation in the lobby but did not affect my stay. The staff were helpful. The neighborhood felt very safe! Quirkie things: Clawfoot bathtub with clingy shower curtain (annoying), but room was very clean. Outside at night (midnightish??) there was a significant crashing sound like someone was sorting all the neighborhood glass for recycling (needed earplugs for that) and this happened more than one night. I had many issues with the internet service, but was able to hop a ride on another local network. Long story short, for the money I did OK, but next time I will consider another hotel-maybe I will find one a bit better for the money.
