 Grosvenor Suites by LolaSanFrancisco
Fisherman?s Warf is NOT San Francisco. We never ever go down there. It?s weird, and it?s 100% tourists and not fun. I mean you HAVE to go to Alcatraz (book at least one month in advance) but that?s it.
Here are my recommended hotels on a tight budget: (This is my new travel web site by the way)
Downtown: Hotel Astoria, cute old-time hotel looks arruond $50 a night, but check the price and hotel:

Nob Hill: Grosvonor Hotel, About $96 a night.

 View from our room by
night by aah_stone
A shame, because this was a fantastic value place to stay. For £32 per person per night (booked through expedia).
The beds were very comfortable. The room had a sofa, chairs, a coffee table, a huge cable TV, a dining table with chairs, a microwave, a cooker, kitchen sink, several cupbaords well stocked with cutlery and crockery. Also there were 2 large walk in wardrobes and a very nice bathroom with bath and shower. Also we were on the 7th floor with great views across from Nob Hill and toward the financial district. Unfortunately we were opposite the lifts so you could here the bleeps and bongs every so often, but we soon got used to that.
THe location was perfect. Not too far to walk from the financial district and very close to teh cable cars for easy access down to Fisherman's Walk.
Downstairs was laundry if you required. Also parking was available should you need it. An internet station was availble too. Also a breakfast room for guests too.
Staff were very helpful, espececially due to our late arrival and the even later arrival of my bag. They were always on hand to help with deciding what to see or where to eat.
The next time I am in San Francisco I will definitely be staying here again!

I'm a little torn on how I should review this hotel. There are things I really liked about this hotel, and there are things I wasn't so crazy about. Not exactly a glowing review, but I'm still giving this hotel a luke-warm thumbs up. My wife and I stayed in a king-sized suite on the 14th floor.
What I did NOT like:
- The decor is a little stale. If you're staying here for more than a few nights, as I did, you begin to miss modern furniture and bathroom fixtures.
- The bed was not comfortable and the pillows were like folded up towels stuffed in a pillow case. I'm not sure who would consider this to be a king sized bed, but it was more like a queen.
- Although the location is central, being on top of Nob Hill can make for a hellish walk when returning from Union Square or the Financial District.
- If you're into serious touristy stuff, I would recommend staying at a hotel nearer to Fisherman's Wharf.
- another point about the location - it isn't very close to Fisherman's Wharf, it's four blooks to Union Square, and the tour buses won't pick you up or drop you off there because they "bottom out" trying to get up the hill.
- the lobby was... well, non-existant. (But who cares about the lobby anyway?)
What I DID like:
- By San Francisco standards, the rooms are very spatious and almost "homey".
- The kitchenette takes up very little room but has pretty much everything you need for an extended stay.
- The free continental breakfast - a small room just off the lobby has four tables and a staff member offering muffins, donuts, croissants, and various beverages. A nice touch!
- The view kicks ass. (See photos.)
- Very friendly and helpful staff. At first I thought the night-shift desk guy was a little weird, but he turned out to be very cool.
- There is a liquor store less than a block down Pine Street. And you can keep your purchases cold in the fridge!
- Most rooms seem to have a small balcony with chairs. The best part of that feature is that you can open the sliding door and get some actual fresh air into the room.
- There is a 24 hour Wal-Green's pharmacy/drug store two blocks down the Hill.
- The cable car stops less than a block away (right by the liquor store!)
- The price was high, but not as high as any comparable hotel I looked into or have stayed at in San Fran.
So although there are a few negatives, I still give this hotel a thumbs up.
