Hyatt Place San Francisco Downtown
Staff is always very friendly and respectful, the place is clean, access to a lot of really good SF city bars and restaurants. Oh, and it’s pretty quiet given the location. Definite recommendation for anyone needing a nice wholesome place to stay.

The lighting throughout the room was very fluorescent white and not pleasant. The elevator takes a long time and stops at too many floors
