Great location for my trip to San Francisco

by cdub1012

After doing a few searches for affordable hotels in San Francisco, my wife and I decided to book our room at the SW Hotel. We walked in and we were able to look at the rooms before making any reservations and thank god we were able to get a room as a walk in guest.

Why pay $200-$300 a night for a hotel in San Francisco when you're going to be out most of the time? The SW's location was perfect for our trip. We were right in between Union Square (where my wife loved the shopping) and on the other side of us was North Beach and the Warf.

The SW also has an underground parking lot which was wonderful. We were able to keep our car there and it was really convenient for us to get to from our room.

I would love to stay here again and I would recommend this hotel for these reasons.

1) Location

2) Clean Rooms, Great Staff

3) Quiet, Comfortable,

4) Affordable

Thanks SW!

• Pros: Location, Clean Rooms, Great Price

A historical hotel with Oriental design touches.

by Contributor

The Scene
This landmark hotel in Chinatown is named after the owner. SW stands for Sam Wong, who bought the property it 1958. It offers comfortable rooms at affordable prices in an excellent location.

The Details
Asian design touches in the lobby include ornate Chinese chairs and original Chinese artworks from Wong's personal collection. They also serve as a reminder to guests that they are staying in one of the most vibrant Chinatowns in the United States. The contemporary guest rooms are smaller than those found in most modern hotels, but they are decorated in warm hues and offer some exciting city views from the upper floors.

The Best

The SW Hotel made my family vacation to San Francisco very memorable. The location was great because there were many restaurants to dine at. The staff members were polite and the hotel was very clean and a suitable environment. They treat their guests well by having complimentary snacks in the lobby. There was not a moment where my family or I felt uncomfortable. Everything and anything you could think of possible was provided. I would definitely come back to stay here if I ever visit San Francisco again. Thank you for a great time!

As much as I travel, my experience at the SW Hotel has been the most comfortable and pleasant. The Hotel staff is really good at what they do and it truly shows in their service. The rooms are clean and for people who care about cleanliness, SW Hotel is the place to stay. The price I paid to stay in this hotel is a deal being so close to the heart of Chinatown, North Beach and the Financial District. SW Hotel will definitely my home away from home.

• Pros: Reasonable Prices, Clean and Comfortable, Accomodating Staff

this hotel is great! the rooms are clean, the staff is polite and always willing to help you out if you need anything. its also pretty inexpensive for a hotel in san fran . speaking of area, its in a prime spot in the center of the city. your right in chinatown but if you cross the street your in north beach. just a 15min walk to the warf. 5min walk to lombard street and the coit tower. your right off of columbus ave. theres a ton of resturants and cafe's, to me its the place to be. i was so surprised on how much i liked the hotel.

• Pros: Inexpensive, location, clean
• Cons: none
