Stanford Court San Francisco

Stanford Court San Francisco

10/10 Excellent
"Location of this hotel was great with regards to Cable Car access as you have tracks on both California and Powell streets going both directions making easy access to Fisherman's Wharf, China Town, Little Italy and many other hot spots. Hotel staff were very helpful with recommendations on where to eat, have drinks, etc. That said, the hotel bar was a nice active place to finish the evenings out in so we could plan the next day. Met lots of interesting people from around the globe there."
