1. We were a pleasant walk away from Union Square and an easy bus ride to Fishermans Wharf (the 47 leaves right outside the hotel).

5. China Town is within walking distance, although a better option may be to take the California Street Cable Car line ($6 for a single trip or $14 for a one-day pass covering all local public transport): be warned that if you plan to walk it is exceedingly hilly and will take longer than a map suggests (we walked to China Town at night and it was perfectly safe, although it was dark).

6. Lafayette Park, dog-friendly and only a few blocks northwest, is a pleasant spot for a short walk and view of the city skyline.

"Green Hotel Could Mean Limited Service " Read full review on TripAdvisor 11/14/2011 Vote

7. Since we like to walk, this location is perfect for outings to China Town, the Embarcadero, and the famous Lombard St.

9. There are a lot of excellent restaurants within walking distance (Ruth's Chris Steakhouse is across the street) and Chinatown is about a five minute ride on the cable car.
