Hilton San Francisco Financial District
We could’ve used a microwave in the room. Also parking price was not clear, it is available at about $74 a day. Convenient if you need a handicap or disabled person staying in the area. Great location for walking.

Club Quarters Hotel in San Francisco
The area that the hotel is in is actually very nice. Parking for one night was $46. I might have been able to find something cheaper but I gave up lol. Front desk was super friendly and welcoming. You can fill up your water bottles everywhere. The coffee in the morning was awesome - an espresso machine ...

My room was clean and comfortable, and the hotel in general was well kept up. I have no complaints--and the price was more than reasonable.
