I had a pleasant three-night stay at the King George Hotel. The location was unbeatable, just a stone's throw from Union Square and convenient for public transport. However, the room I stayed in was on the smaller side, and the WiFi was quite unreliable. Still, I found the hotel to be a comfortable and clean base for exploring San Francisco. 😊
