Adante Hotel

Adante Hotel Lobby - San Francisco

The Adante is a very popular and affordable hotel conveniently located in the heart of San Francisco. Rooms go for as low as $75 per night, and the hotel offers great online special room rates. For the price and location, the Adante's hotel rooms are average-sized, which is not very large. Of course the tradeoff is that you are just three blocks from Union Square, and only one block from the theatre district. The staff is particularly helpful and ready to arrange airport shuttles, San Francisco city tours, and offers advice on the many attractions around San Francisco. Try visiting the nearby TIX booth that offers half-price tickets for same-day shows. The Adante is also nearby other landmarks that have made San Francisco famous, including the cable cars, Museum of Modern Art, and Chinatown.

When your stomach begins to growl, there are plenty of fine dining options close by, including the organic/vegan restaurant Millennium, as well as dozens of authentic "cheap-eats" so ubiquitous in San Francisco - Mexican taquerías, Thai bistros, 24-hour diners, and Indian/Pakistani restaurants. Like all the hotels in this area, you will find yourself near the Tenderloin district, and though it offers good food at inexpensive prices, it is not one of the finest areas of the city.

As any local or hotel staff will tell you, stray east whenever leaving your hotel. There is plenty of public transportation as well, including buses, tramlines, and the BART train, which you can use to visit Berkeley or to get to/from the San Francisco Airport (SFO).

The hotel also provides a complimentary buffet continental breakfast each morning served in the lobby, which itself is quite beautifully adorned with murals. The in-house café and bar is called 24fps, taking its name from the 24 frames-per-second film rate that most Hollywood films are shot in. The café hosts an inexpensive happy hour daily where you can try local beers or gourmet coffee drinks.
