Two blocks from Union Square, theaters, cable cars, shops, and restaurants, the 40-room European-style Dakota offers clean, modest digs for a budget price in a city where such bargains are a treasure.
After a busy work day, a convention, or sightseeing, return to an unpretentious guestroom with satellite TV, microwave, refrigerator, private bathroom, and data ports for easy Internet access.
Housed in a renovated 1914 building, this eight-story hotel is short on amenities but its central location can’t be beat. Close to the Moscone Convention Center, Fisherman's Wharf, galleries, and more, the Dakota is a solid bet at a reasonable price.
