We booked this hotel because we were traveling on a budget. We actually booked the room for $125 a night. We were really nervous when we were pulling up, the area seemed a little shady. However, to our surprise we were staying in the most beautiful hotel. Everything on the interior has been remodeled. Its a very very modern hotel. We had flat screen tvs and the most comfortable bed. we had a delicious breakfast on the roof in the morning. We were about a mile from all the major shops and then we took the bus to fisherman's wharf. I think it was like $4 bucks round trip and it took about 15 minutes. We walked at night time from the mall and it was a okay but if I did not have my husband I would have felt unsafe. But you cannot beat this hotel. Its spectacular. I was shocked. We only booked one night because we were unsure and we ended up staying g 3 nights. It was well worth it. I would recommend this for hotel for anyone. Its clean, beautiful and the staff was outstanding. They helped us to get reservations and gave us directions anywhere we needed to go.

This is a really great hotel. From the outside you first would not expect it as the building is not new, however once you get to the room, it's really luxury. I stayed there shortly before the 4th of July. The staff also let's the guests know that the rooms are completely newly rennovated. One employee of the evening shift asked all the guest who came back in from the city how they liked their room. He was obviously proud of it and he can be. The breakfast is included, the breakfast room (I believe on the 8th floor - not completely sure) is also new and offers a view over S.F. A roof top is in front of the breakfast room. You can easily walk to Union Square, Market Street, etc. and the staff always tell you which way to go (when coming out of the hotel to the left and then right) to avoid the not so nice areas. The breakfast ladies were extremely nice and so were the Front Office employees. When my wireless didn't work in one room, the male employee in the evening immediately gave me a different room. I would definitely go back there, because it's a very personalized atmosphere and a great price.

I was here for my convention along with my colleague.

The Rooms and shower were pretty good. The staff at the hotel, Mohi especially was very helpful. The breakfast was very nice, with a lot of choice, so you can go out in the morning with a full belly. For eating, Subway and TacoBell KFC , were just around the corner.

The only problem was that the TV and internet services they offered were not so good, they were just about OK.

Overall enjoyed the stay, got my job done, what i was there for.

OMIGOD! The room was beautiful. I travel alot for business, I thought I would get away to San Francisco for the Holiday Week. Of course all rooms were outrageous for a simple room. I found ATH for $120 a day.

Yes, like what the other travelers said, the neighborhood isn't rated G or PG13 for that matter, but the rooms completely makes up for it 100%. They were spectacular and incredible.

As an epicurean. Let me tell you about Larkin street.(X street) I had one of the most amazing meals there. Pagoluc, a Vietnamese restaurant, served Beef in 7 ways with a bed of exoctic herbs and vegetable. Yummy! Next block down, Bodega, had the best vietnamese noodle soup (pho) and awesome raosted squab with caramerlized onions and raisins. Saigon Cafe and their BBQ chicken sandwiches are out of this world for $2.50! Restaurants are really good around the neighborhood, I was blown away by a few of them. A few blocks away on Polk St. more food. I vegged that week. I went to shows, movie theater is 3 blocks away, Union Square was easy to get to, Transportation was direct and uncomplicated.

The beds at ATH were sooo comfy. Clean white sheets, springs on the matress were strong, not lumpy and lobsided, The room had a great scent, uber clean, the bathroom is bigger than my apartment, and get this,the towels were bathsheet size! Slept really well and ate incredibly without breaking the bank

I actually felt like I was in my own mordern ashram, because when I left. I actually felt recharged and ready to face the hectic new year.

You would love it there, sorry can't say much about the view.
