I’m familiar with San Francisco and stopped at Palihotel after a retreat before flying home. Some reviews of SF complain about noise or seeing people sitting on the sidewalks… babe, that’s the city. That said, I wasn’t approached by anyone on the sidewalks in the area around the hotel, and I didn’t find it noisy (although you’re going to hear traffic sounds anywhere in the city). The place was super clean, the staff was helpful, I felt safe the whole time. The room was small, but I knew that going in, and the decor, linens and updated bathroom made up for the size. I could have used a luggage rack, but I’m not sure where they would store that so I understand why there wasn’t one.
I liked the text communication from the front desk.
The location was slightly inconvenient for my ride to the airport to pick me up— I walked around the corner with my suitcase and waited in front of a busy fast food/retail area, but again— it’s a big city and I get it. I would definitely recommend this hotel for a solo traveler or couple wanting to see the city. It’s super close to Chinatown and Union Square.
