"My go-to hotel in The City.
It's not fancy, the rooms are small (no air conditioning, but a ceiling fan) and you have to go to the lobby for coffee or tea in the morning.
But compared to the larger hotels it's quaint, inexpensive, friendly and convenient.
There is a refrigerator in the room, and a bar in the lobby.
From it's location at Union Square one can walk pretty much anywhere downtown, from Fisherman's Wharf to the Embarcadero to Oracle Park. (For a warm-up we take the stairs to the lobby...)
AND you get a Rubber Ducky!"
