YOTEL San Francisco
The room is tiny! But it worked. I was awoken by very loud music at 5am, unfortunately. Took a star off due to that, the slim selection at breakfast, one elevator being out of service, and the check-in kiosk not working for me.

I enjoyed that you could cast your shows to the TV, the gym was clean and the wifi was consistent. The AC worked amazingly and the water was good.
