"The hotel is nice and clean, the area around is not really safe, but one can avoid walking in Tenderloin in the evening and rather hit directly to the safer part of the hotel area. I found the service average, which is maybe not what people would expext from a hotel chain such as Hilton. Nevertheless, I would recommend the hotel for your stay in San Francisco!"
