Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf
Clean room, professional staff, exceptional breakfast included every day. Room only gets cleaned if you put the sign on the door. There's ice machines on each floor, I wish they'd also include a vending machine with snacks.

YOTEL San Francisco
The room is tiny! But it worked. I was awoken by very loud music at 5am, unfortunately. Took a star off due to that, the slim selection at breakfast, one elevator being out of service, and the check-in kiosk not working for me.
