The Clift, San Francisco Advantages: Location, stylish Disadvantages: very thin walls between rooms The Clift is a beautiful and stylish hotel. It houses the stunning Redwood Bar which has gorgoues cocktails and you're surrounded by grand wood panelling and very cool plasma screens. The hotel also has the Asia de cuba restaurant which is great and the portions are big enough to share, although I don't think its quite as good as London's Asia de Cuba. The staff are also friendly as we had backpacks from our round the world trip and were treating ... ...5 star hotels would do. On the downside, although the rooms very beautifully done with a lilac and cream colour scheme, the walls are VERY thin between the rooms which is shame - so you can hear your next door neighbour's TV and anything else they might be doing! ...

A good cheap option Advantages: Price, location Disadvantages: No breakfast, slightly grubby The Grant Plaza Hotel in San Francisco is located at the gateway to the Chinatown area of the city, and is predominantly Chinese-run. It is a quiet, unassuming hotel, which is clean, basic and most importantly a cheap place to rest in a busy, expensive city! The rooms are accessed by elevator and a security door prevents any unwanted entry 24 hours. Many of the rooms face onto the street which can be very busy and therefore quite noisy. The rooms ... ...exploring the city. Most rooms are en-suite with colour TV with cable. The service and staff is faultless, as you will find across the area. The Plaza hotel offers only bed (no breakfast), although there are many cafes locally which offer cheap food (and plenty of it!). (while there, do explore the Chinatown area - it's great for souveneir and gift shopping!) ...

Nob Hill Motor Inn- don't be put off by the name! Advantages: Centrally located, good facilities Disadvantages: Slightly pricey, but you pay for the location. Well, this hotel was my introduction to California. I went on a fly drive in July with family and here was where we stayed on touchdown. I hadn't realised the airport was so far away from San Francisco itself, it was in San Bruno, further south. When we first got out and about the next morning, I realised we had made an excellent choice in this hotel because if you go to a walking city like San Francisco, you really want to be close to the main attractions, ... ...it. It's near enough to walk to Fishermen's Wharf and Pier 39. There was plenty of parking for the guests with cars - we picked ours up the day before travelling down the coast. And all the other things you come to expect of a good hotel were there: wifi (no good for me, I didn't take my laptop); cable tv with HBO channel in the rooms and a small fridge and microwave. I stayed in a room with two big double beds (what the American's call Queen beds). ... kevin121 05.12.2008 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of Nob Hill Motor Inn, San Francisco	Value for Money Quality of Rooms Standard of Service Quality of Facilities
A bit of old-fashioned glamor in the city Advantages: Great location, excellent service, top-quality bed Disadvantages: Is downtown so not that quiet ...It is part of the Personality Hotels group, each of which is modeled on a different concept, the idea for Kensington Square in particular being traditional glamour, its slogan being "Luxury in the heart of the city". And luxurious it is indeed. We stayed for one night only, directly following on from a rather skanky beach front motel in Santa Cruz, so maybe our goalposts had been moved somewhat, but it really was everything you could ask from a hotel ... ...offer valet service parking on the premises for $35 per day. LOBBY/WELCOME The lobby looks impressive, all marble and polished brass, and although they do not have a person opening the door for guests, the front of house staff were extremely welcoming as soon as we approached. According to the website, "The Concierge Staff pride themselves on arranging entire itineraries from transportation to dinner reservations and theatre tickets".

Pickwick Hotel, San Francisco Advantages: Cheap, Convenient Disadvantages: Prehaps too far from Fishermans Wharf if only a stop-over break? I stayed at the Pickwick with 3 friends in April 2007. It's a very pleasant hotel situated within walking distance of the cable car turnaround and Union Square, and can't be faulted for it's price given the fairly central location for shopping/business. It's probably about 20 minutes to Fishermans Wharf via cable car from here. The general area felt safe at night, it was very, very quiet in terms of people being around - probably due to the fact ... ...few homeless people near the hotel, but having visited many cities on our US tour, it's pretty obvious that San Francisco is one of the worst hit places. It seems that someone wants a dollar every 50 yards in San Francisco. The room which we had was situated at the rear of the building away from the road, so was quiet. Being an 'old' hotel dating back to the early 1900's, the rooms are all generally quite small and compact, which we were told about ... draigcochport 24.06.2007 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of The Pickwick, San Francisco	Value for Money Quality of Rooms Standard of Service Quality of Facilities
