Well positioned and good location
This end of Broadway is not too busy although still ideally located only 50 metres from the great shops and restaurants of Polk St. We were given a good room at the back of the Castle Inn although it only has a narrow exposure to Broadway so street noise is minimised. Free undercover parking was also a big plus for us however SF buses are handy on both Polk and Van Ness streets. Free WiFi is also appreciated.
Grant St for the Chinese discount stores Union Square for the upmarket shops Westfield shopping centre on Market & 5th is a good mix of sops including Bloomingdales.

SF Castle Inn
Our room was OK, but the fan was not working in the bathroom. Parking was free and very tight in the lower level, but the upper level was somewhat better. We found it much easier to use public transportion and very cheap for seniors. Hotel desk clerk was helpful with instructions on how to get to city attractions by bus.
Traveler's tip on saving a few bucks
Public transportation from this location was very easy with near by bus spots. It saved a lot of walking steep hills for seniors. Senior rate only .75 per ride and transfer allows you to ride any bus, even returning in same directions, for the hour or so indicated by the transfer.

Very good value for money
We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights. We took only one room with two queen size beds to save money. The room was small but it was enough for us because we spent the most of the time outside. The mainly criteria for us was the location and the cleanness. The location of this hotel is great: you are at about 20min by walking of the ocean (fisherman’s wharf). The staff is friendly: the first day they gave us maps and explained to us what to visit and where not to go. There is a small breakfast which is offered each morning. It is not very big but there is enough to eat something before visiting (cereals pieces, coffee, yogurts). In our case we completed the breakfast with pastry (you can find them just at the corner and they are very good). To sum up on the hotel: positiv: Great location, safe area, staff very friendly, room very clean (they change the towels every day and the sheets if you want), free parking (a very good point when you see the prices of the parking in San Francisco), small breakfast, free internet negativ: small room for 4 people (but enough for 2), the weather was very hot so the little windows were not enough to get some cold air during the night and if you open the window there is some noise in the street, the stuff were old (the decorating, the bathroom), the bathroom is very small and there is no air way so it is very hot in it after the shower. The only big negativ point for us was the heat in the room. we needed to open the door to have some cold air.
