Nice place overall
Location is great to see Japan Town. The rooms are clean, quiet, and there's a safe, and refrigerator too. Free computer access downstairs too. Even though the room is fairly quiet, the traffic outside and conversations down the hall, at all hours of the night, kept us awake some of the night. [...]

You can buy dinner discount coupon from Restaurant.com for Iroha restaurant, which is half a block from the hotel. I paid less than $10 for a $25 restaurant credit.

Very convenient for visits to Japan Center. My 14-year old granddaughter loved the Japanese pop-art decor.

Great Little Place!
The Hotel Tomo was great. We had a room on the 6th floor, so we got good sunlight, and a neat view of Japantown. We travel to SF a few times a year, and this has been or FAVORITE hotel in this price range. Central location was great, and the parking wasn't too pricey when we couldn't find a street spot. Very clean and the staff was super helpful. Location is VERY easy to get on/off the highway within 7-10 minutes if you are heading down the airport or further down the peninsula or over to Oakland/Berkeley. Convenient to Van Ness and California streets to get you anywhere in the city by car within 15 minutes or so.

Kind of neat and trendy, comfortable...
I had reserved a balcony room (which cost more) and did not get it! Probably because they had lost my reservation! Good thing I had printed out my confirmation. When I talk to the front desk they could not credit anything back to me and they had no balcony rooms available so they gave us free parking for the two night we were there(a $52 value). On 2nd day, our toilet stopped working. Other than those things, everything else was very nice. Front desk had a surprise grab bag for my daughter, who is 7. That's a neat touch for anyone with kids. We were main street side and the noise wasn't too bad. Inside the hotel was quiet also. Japan town is fairly small, but we easily caught the #47 line to the Fisherman's Warf. Shopping isn't too far from there either. Just map out where you're walking to or you'll end up in a not so nice part of town!!

Map out the streets and bus line (trolley or street car) and you'll save a lot of time and a lot of unnecessary walking. Be prepared to pay and on the street car, you don't get change back!

Adequate hotel stay with kids
I decided to take the girls with me to spend a weekend in SF over the Memorial Day weekend. Visited the Academy of Sciences and enjoyed the Shabu Shabu dinner in the hotel. I chose this restaurant because I knew that it was recently remodeled with a Japanese comic theme and I thought the girls would enjoy it as well. Also, I knew that I'd find street parking readily in that neighborhood. Service was nothing to write home about; adequate but not too eager to please. Our visit was satisfactory but I'm not sure I'd stay here again. The beds were a bit uncomfortable for me.

Good San Francisco option
Meticulously clean with everything in order. Certainly not fancy. A good option to the very expensive San Francisco hotels. I will stay there again.

Not Worth the Value
The Best Western Hotel Tomo, San Francisco, California was not breath-taking or deserving of any top hotel write-ups. The quality of the room furnishings were simply from Ikea.

Long walk from hotel
The sites of San Francisco - the Golden Gate Park, Lafeyette Park, the San Francisco trolley, the 'crookiest street', are all within a brisk walking distance. There is other modes of transportation, but not for the feint of heart.

A great value for the money
The Best Western Hotel Tomo in San Francisco, California was an unbelievable find! The rooms were spacious and incredibly clean. The minimalist decor of the room was perfect as it provided ample space for the three of us. Also, it is very modern with Ipod docking stations and flat screen TVs. The staff friendly and very attentive. The hotel is located in the Japantown neighborhood of San Francisco, which is conveniently located to all major attractions. It was a great value for the money and we are definitely staying there again.
