The King George Hotel in downtown San Francisco has a very convenient location near the theatre district and shopping around Union Square. The hotel itself, however, is less accommodating. The building is very old, with slow elevators, and steep, narrow staircases that are not friendly to women wearing high heels. Likewise, the bathroom in my hotel suite was out of date and had rickety windows over looking dirty rooftops. The in-room internet access was also inconvenient, but the wireless hotspot in the attractive English-style tearoom and bar almost made up for it. Furthermore, the concierge had helpful advice about dining, transportation and entertainment.
