5. Bottom-line: not for attention-to-detail business travelers nor resort-splendored folks, but this can be a viable option otherwise at a reasonable price point for the location, especially if they correct the deficiencies noted.

6. And the Tavern Piano Bar was very good too, with more than reasonable happy hour tarrifs for good service and tasty libations.

7. But if you revel in historic decor with an Eduardian flair and at a reasonable price point, this Grand Dame should meet your expectations.

8. We go to SF six times a year and have stayed at over six older hotels in that area and like the Whitcomb the best for the following reasons:- it's in better shape than most- it has room heat/ac, not all do- the BART and light rail entrance is right out front, as is the trolley line stop- prices are good (frequently $75-100, but you have to search the Internet)- it has Internet service in the room- it has a nice bar and restaurant on the first floor, and a StarbucksFrom the Whitcomb, you can: walk to the Castro in 40 min (or take the J line in 10 min); walk to the Mosconi center in 10 min; walk to the Ferry Building in 30 min (or take the trolley in 20 min - yes it's slow); and take the trolley to Fisherman's wharf in 45 min.

9. The restaurant was too expensive for my taste, but Sam's Diner across the street has good food and reasonable (for SF) prices (and a Burger King on the corner).

10. Summary: Charming historic hotel in a convenient, but not chic, locationPros:- Very clean and comfortable rooms- Location right next to Civic Center BART/Muni and main tourist streetcar- Good service- Very reasonable price for SF- Can walk to cable car, Union Square, and EmbarcaderoCons:- Neighborhood is near Tenderloin and has lots of street people- Walk to tourist sights in not short For me, this hotel was the perfect balance of cost, convenience and quality.
