Had to change rooms first day. All rooms had only one electrical outlet. Internet was not there except behind the front desk. There are several good hotels about a block away. Here all you get is a bed and shower. TV has only local channels.

I live, and have residence in
I live, and have residence in the US. I am very happy with hotel San Francisco, this is my second time there; except for one thing: often, there, arrive customers that are very noise and the dispatchers, or people who is in charge do not keep the order during the nigth. Often, it is almost impossible to sleep until 3 a.m

Good overall
Overall good. Friendly Staff. Good location. However, lacks safety deposits in your room (you are warned to put away all your valuables in the free safe boxes they offer - very unpractical). One thing: Wireless Internet sucks. If your travel needs include internet access, steer away from this hotel.
