5/5 Excellent

"Unbelievable value! This San Francisco hotel was impeccably clean, on par with a 5-star experience, yet the price was even lower than what I paid 15 years ago. Its prime location, just 5 minutes from Union Square and a short 15-20 minute walk to everything else, makes it highly recommended."
