Hotel Des Arts

The facility was clean. The breakfast was simple but fine. Our family suite was nice in terms of space and accommodations (like good to have a fridge and two sinks, etc.).

Since our family suite faced right out onto Bush Street, the noise level for a family trying to sleep in the night was rough. We awoke a lot each night. Bring a white noise machine. The shower was too low-flow (even for California).

Cracking Location for the hotel as you are a stones throw from Chinatown and it not far to walk to Union Square or a bit further to down to Fishermans Wharf. We really appreciated the fridge in the room as it meant we could keep some cold water, food (or beers!) for the next day. The art work throughout the hotel was a very unique thing. Would've loved to have seen the art in the other rooms, not just our own. Check in process was quick and easy.

We didn't think the breakfast selection was very good. Although its only advertised as "Continental" it's very sparse with some only bread for toasting, cereal bars and microwaveable porridge. Possibly to improve on this would be to add some meat/cheese and some pastries? No Air Con in the room lead to a sweaty sleep, whilst we appreciate that not all hotels offer Air Con, being able to leave a window open would have helped. We weren't able to do this as the window in our room opened onto a flat roof where someone could easily gain access to our room. Also no Safe in the room for valuables.
