9. First the negative, when we arrived we approached on foot up Eddy street ,that was a big mistake, the hotel is on the edge of the tenderloin district of SF,a somewhat challenged area of the city encompassing homeless,drug takers,and unsavoury characters,we felt very vulnerable with our cases and obvious tourist demenour,my advise is to get a cab from the bart station central or if you must walk from there by another route.
