“Union Square's Japanese stay”

Five minutes from Union Square and three-to-five from the cable-car terminus, Hotel Nikko San Francisco is an always-stay high-value pick: spacious very clean well-equipped comfortable rooms that look newer than photos, good service from polite staff — loyalty-program late check-in and out were honored even on platform bookings, though free upgrades weren't — and a praised Asian breakfast of rice and grilled fish that made mornings. Great for kids.
