The best part of this hotel is the location. If you are going for the first time to San Francisco here is what you need to know about this hotel ...
There is no parking lot in the hotel. There is a parking lot across the street that will charge you $32 per day if you leave the car all day without getting in or out the parking lot (if you go in or out you will be charge the hourly rate). The hotel will may or not tell you that you can pay them a flat fee of $42 a day with the option to take your car in or out the parking lot as many time you want.
The hotel does not have a bellboy. There is only one loading parking in front of the hotel so you can unload your bags. Don't expect for anyone to open your doors. ( I was with my pregnant wife and I was hassling with my bags).
The standard rooms are very small, but nice and clean. The only problem are the walls that are very thin. There was a couple next door having sex for an hour around 5:00 AM, at the same time you can hear when others are flushing the toilet or sitting on their bed. There is no fart vent in the bathroom so if you are on a honeymoon gateway weekend, don't eat beans (you can hear everything even when the door is close). The bed is very small and fit two people but very tight.
You can purchase certain tour passes at the hotel, The tour bus is great because one of the bus stops is just across the street.
There is not fridge in the standard room, no cable on demand. Certain amenities are located on one floor only, ex. ice. There is free drinking bottle of water on each floor (the have empty plastic bottles (sealed) that you will fill from a filter fountain water machine) Very convenience.
There is a restaurant (pub) attach to the hotel which is nice because it is open until 12:00 AM so you can drink all you want and then walk to your room.
The hotel staff are very courteous and helpful. I paid $162+tax at night and I can't complaint much about the hotel. You can get a better hotel for an additional $60 but that is an additional $120 that you could use to to book a tour bus for 2.
I hope this information help you making a wise decision.
