Frommer's Review
The bargain prices are the main reason I recommend this dependable, if unfashionable, hotel. On the plus side, suites have bidets, whirlpool bathtubs, and a wet bar or fully equipped kitchenette -- an advantage for families -- and a continental breakfast is included in the price of all rooms. All accommodations include plenty of in-room perks, including an afternoon "Social Hour" with wine, tea, and snacks. The location, between the Theater District and Union Square, in a quieter section of San Francisco, is ideal for visitors without cars, and the price for what you get is hard to beat. The on-site White Horse Tavern, a quaint replica of an old English pub, serves dinner Tuesday through Saturday. Tip: Rooms that face Post Street might be a bit noisier than others, but they're also larger and sunnier, and some have window seats.
Facilities:
Access to nearby health club ($10/day); free Internet access in lobby

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
