Good but flawed

I've got complicated feelings. I frequently visit SF and stayed here as opposed to my normal hotel largely because this hotel was about $20 cheaper than my normal hotel; this was perhaps a mistake. First of all, it's nice enough. It's clean, the beds are clean, the rooms are nice, that's a major positive about it. That aside, I had a couple problems. 1) As described in the listing, there is no A/C. While A/C is generally not needed due to SF's temperate climate, hotels are large buildings and they're not always well-ventilated. I expected no A/C and anticipated a fan and windows that open. The fan, unexpectedly, wasn't a ceiling fan - it was a tower fan, on the floor, and didn't do much to cool the bed overnight. I tried opening the window but couldn't get it to stay open; because my stay was only for one night, I didn't call the front desk, so the window problems could easily have been user error on my part. :) 2) I don't love the area around the hotel. The vast majority of the Union Square area is safe, despite all of the rantings in the news these days, but this hotel was just a little bit too close to a couple blocks seemingly managed by absentee landlords so, unlike the rest of the Union Square area, there was more of a permanent & unusually aggressive homeless presence within a block or so of the hotel. SF is far safer than the news implies but I was quite surprised at how aggressive some of them were on a Saturday afternoon immediately after Labor Day weekend.

Pros: - Hotel decor is cute, particularly in the lobby. - Staff are friendly and helpful. - very close to the Powell cable car turnaround and the Powell BART station. Cons: - There were so many homless people outside that my kids felt unsafe to walk in the evening. - no air conditioning in the rooms! The fan they provided is not enough. If you open the window, it’s noisy because of tge homeless people outside. - There’s this certain smell along the corridor that I cannot describe. I seems musty due to lack of proper ventilation
