We read many tripadvisor reviews before booking this hotel so we knew perfectly well to expect - and the reviews didn't let us down. This hotel is right on a 3-lane highway so the road noise is pretty extensive. We were on the second floor facing Lombard Street. We could see part of the Golden Gate Bridge from our room and being able to see the street was worth the noise. I heard if you get a room in the back the noise level decreases significantly, but of course so does the view. It's a pesonal preference. We could walk to just about anything. We are mid-40s couple in great shape so this wasn't a big deal but if you don't like to/or can't walk 8-10 blocks, you can always catch a cab right outside the hotel. The room was always immaculate and was a very good size. Nice flat screen TV and comfortable king size bed. you can't stay in San Francisco and want to be in the heart of everything without expecting some noise. So like I said - we got what we expected. We would probably stay here again, but might try a room in the back (maybe). Make sure you try the Lombard Cafe. Super sweet ladies running the place and the food was great.
