Central location. Convenient for walking and public transportation.

Room temperature control. Difficult to figure out the AC. Two thermostats and wall mounted unit. No instructions. Luckily I have a ductless heat pump mini-split at home, so I was able to figure it out. Even then, it was either too warm or too cool. No way to “set and forget” temperature
The Emblem is a quirky 'old style' hotel with a laid back atmosphere. We used the cafe every morning at 6am to grab a coffee to take back to our room, and the bar late afternoon, for a drink after a long day exploring the city. The hotel is with easy reach of the cable car stops on Powell Street, and the hub at Powell & Market. If you're coming into the city from the airport use the BART which stops at Powell Street Station, and unless you have heavy cases you can walk the 700 metres to The Emblem at Sutter Street.

A small fridge in the rooms would be a nice touch to keep your water and chocolate cool ;-)
- Very good location in downtown SF - Supermarkets, restaurants, cafés nearby - Friendly staff - Relatively modern facilities

Die Lage in der Stadt war sehr gut. Man konnte viele highlights fussläufig erreichen. Außerdem war das Personal sehr freundlich und das Zimmer sehr gut eingerichtet.

Die Zimmer waren wirklich extrem hellhörig - so hellhörig habe ich es bislang zwischen Zimmern nicht erlebt und auch der Lärm der Stadt und Klimaanlagen war in Etage 7 wirklich störend laut. Wahrscheinlich, weil das Haus sehr alt ist…
