YOTEL San Francisco
Everything was great. It was clean, modest breakfast but good. Plenty of excellent coffee shops a short walk away. I would stay here again, but not in the sky room. It was cramped for my taste

Hilton San Francisco Financial District
We had a wonderful time and the facility was beautiful. This is a minor issue for most but for me it is Major. The fragrance used in the facility is way too strong, especially near the elevators. I know many people like heavy fragrance and sense but for some of us with allergies it can be torture ...
