Best Western Bayside Inn

This high-rise representative of reliable Best Western offers quiet lodgings, even though this corner of downtown has been a hotbed of redevelopment. Although calling it "bayview" would be more accurate than "bayside," rooms in the 14-story hotel reveal nice city and harbor views. Rooms and bathrooms are basic chain-hotel issue, but they are well maintained and have balconies -- ask for the higher floors for the best vistas. The accommodating staff makes this a mecca for budget-minded business travelers (if you've forgotten anything, from razor to toothbrush, they'll fix you up), and this Best Western is also close to downtown's tourist sites. It's an easy walk to the Embarcadero, a bit farther to Horton Plaza, and just 3 blocks to the train station.
