Find a shady space, spark up a conversation with some of the locals and enjoy the atmosphere of Union Square. It's a nice spot to take a break from all that sightseeing.

When you've spent some time at this San Francisco modern public area, why not check out Pier 39, Golden Gate Bridge, and Alcatraz Island? They're not very far from Union Square and also popular with many tourists.

Excellent choices for breakfast and despite being super busy, staff very helpful and well organised. Rooms well presented and clean. WiFi connection was weak.

This is a quaint inn with a lovely courtyard. The staff members were very nice. Our room was a bit tired with signs of wear. The cold continental breakfast is a nice offering. However, cold items such as milk, yogurt and hard boiled eggs were not kept cold while out for breakfast; they would have been tastier if kept on ice.
