Club Quarters Hotel in San Francisco

Club Quarters Hotel in San Francisco

10/10 Excellent
"Check in was quick & efficient. Great amenities from shampoo, conditioner, bath gel - to a Nespresso machine in the room - to an iron+board. My room faced a busy street but the double paned windows muted the noise. The TV had lots of channels. A great weekend hotel at a reasonable price. In the financial district away from downtown - but great for walking (flat) to the Ferry Bldg, Pier 39, Fisherman’s Wharf, the ballpark, Union Square, etc - & if you want the challenge… SF hills. I’d come back & stay again."
