I just got back from my stay at the Tuscan Inn. The first thing I have to comment on is the great location. You are only blocks away from all the action. I was traveling alone and found the area very safe. The Safeway right next door was great...very convenient.
The people at the hotel were all very friendly and helpful. I thought the rooms were good...not great, but pretty much what I expected. The wine reception at night was a great chance to meet some of the other hotel guests and learn about some of the tours.
Check out the submarine at pier 45 (I forget the name)..very interesting and inexpensive. I also loved the tour of Alcatraz but be careful because tickets get sold out sometimes days in advance. I also did the five hour city tour with San Francisco Shuttle Tours. I would absolutely do this if you are looking for a way to see a lot of the major sites in the city. If you do it early in your vacation, you can then go back and visit some of the places and spend more time (tour stops are quick).
I would definitely stay here again if I was going back to San Francisco. Quick note....it seems different people I spoke to pd. different rates for their rooms. I booked directly through Best Western and found that I had one of the more resonable rates.
Enjoy!
