Convenient Location for Adult Travelers

Take a moment to ask a local to explain the Muni subway system to you. They are usually kind and helpful. It's only $1.50 (adults) and 50 cents for kids and it's just steps from the hotel. Also, there's a Farmer's Market on Sunday and Wednesday at the U.N. Plaza which is also next door to the hotel.

The location was great for getting around. The hotel is literally steps away from the Muni/B.A.R.T. station. I was traveling with three children,however,and the adult theatre across the street and the very crude advertisements on the billboard made the view from the hotel and the hotel restuarant very unsavory. I had to detour and distract my children so they would not see what would have been highly inappropriate material. If I were traveling w/out kids, I wouldn't mind. The room was very basic but clean and the staff was helpful. You get what you pay for but I'd stay there again if the price was right.

terrific location

From the Renoir you can walk comfortably to 2 upscale shopping venues: Union Square & the San Francisco Westfield Shopping Centre. Also the Metreon has hi tech shopping & theatres for young adults.

the Renoir has a perfect location for anyone wanting to walk downtown San Francisco. Its also perfect for catching the bus or street car right in front of the hotel, walk 3 blocks to catch a historic cable car ride. The Bart station is right across the street so getting to the airport was a snap. No transportation concerns when staying here. The Cafe do Brasil looks dated & worn but the food is excellent, authentic & the staff are friendly. The room was just right for 2 adults spotlessly clean. Only drawback are the homeless in front but they do not approach or bother you.

Union Square, Cable Cars, and the Civic Center are all within a few blocks walking distance. The Bart to catch to Pier 39, and the wharf is right across Market street.

If the Renoir Hotel was placed in an English countryside it would be considered quaint. But unfortunately, it was in the middle of the worst part of San Francisco. Once in the hotel, the staff was somewhat helpful and the decor at first glanced seemed posh. At a closer look, the couches in the lobby were filthy. The rooms were clean and tidy. They supplied a TV, Safe and refrigerator. What was left out of the normal standard supplies, was a coffee maker and hair dryer. The rooom tended to be cold and the towels felt like they were from a high school gym. Although for the price, this is what one would expect. What wasn't expected were the constant stream of transients, mentally disabled that wonder past the front doors of the hotel. I was glad I was there with 3 male friends or I would not have stayed.

Nice hotel

The cable car stop is just five minutes walking. The malls are also five minutes walking.

It is a nice hotel near downtown.You can walk everywhere from the hotel which makes it very easy if you don't have a car.

dangerous neighborhood

actually, location is really good in terms of transfortation. however there are lots of homeless people on the street and street smell was really aweful. there is no decent restaurant near hotel. matress is old so lt's like a spring pad. heater is a portable heater which is very noisy bottom line, i felt danger when I came out hotel.

San Francisco is not that big, so you can get around pretty easily in a cab to any part of the city.

I am in a band and we needed a place to crash our heads. The hotel was a few blocks away from the Rickshaw Stop (where we performed) so location wise it was perfect.

Friendly staff makes up for bad location

The nice thing about staying at a hotel on Market st is that all the public transportation of the city at some point runs down market so you can get anywhere, and save money because the cabs add up! The subway is less than a block away and the buses, and street cars are right out front.

The hotel had a European style, its a smaller hotel so it lacks the ammenties of a larger one. But your right on Market street so anything you need is close by. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We didn't know how to use the Muni (subway) which is a block away, so one of the employees took us there and showed us how it all worked. The neighborhood isn't the greatest but its not that bad, you get what you pay for.

My review of Renoir Hotel

Anonymous, 2005-11-13

the neighborhood is dirty. we did not eat or do anything in that neighborhood. the only good thing was it was right next to the bart so we could get out of there quickly!

The Renoir Hotel was the worst hotel I or my husband have ever stayed in. as soon as we walked into the hotel lobby, i began to cry. the surrounding area is dirty and transient. there was a mugging right outside our hotel window. the bed was like sleeping on springs.
