If you’re traveling to San Francisco for tourism with kids don’t look further. This is the perfect hotel in terms of location. Everything is in walking distance, cable car, pier 39, Lombardi street etc. nice view of the Golden bridge from the rooms on the 4 th floor. Room is spacious enough for 2 adults and 2 kids. The restaurant on site is expensive but so is everything else in the area. The breakfast was definitely worth. We would not stay anywhere else for a family vacation in SF.
