Magra Holidays from £875

The renovations (since it was known as the Sir Francis Drake) created a very nice and pleasant atmosphere. Noise level on the Powell Street-side was relatively high due to a combination of the trollies and late-night conversations/shouting in the street. Otherwise, the stay was fantastic. Note: I unexpectedly ended up extending my stay and was moved to another room. The noise was not an issue at all on the Union Square facing side of the hotel.

Great location, good-sized rooms, pretty clean, comfortable bed. The bathroom was pretty big, but there are no counters; the sink is very small, and there's no space for my makeup or facial products. The area has many restaurant choices, within walking distance of shopping centers.

The best part of this hotel is the location and the breakfast buffet. The rooms were clean, but we were put across the way in a building that I don't think has been remodeled. The ceilings were popcorn style and some general wear and tear was noticeable. But the location was excellent. We could get to anywhere in fisherman's wharf within a 10 minute walk. We did not spend much time in the room so the overall condition did not bother us too much. The breakfast buffet in the morning was nice, but it was the same food every day so if you're staying for an awhile, just keep in mind that it's going to be the same options daily.

It felt like a boarding house. No common area to sit on a couch and relax. Our window opened onto an air shaft and no view. Neighborhood parking is nonexistent so only stay if using Uber. The bed and bath were clean. However I would not stay there again.

Nothing but great things to say about this place! So much to do and see and staff is sooo nice and helpful.
