Great little hotel
- April 27, 2007
- Rated 5 of 5 by
a traveler from Travelocity.com
I stayed at the Bijou for 7 nights. Everything was clean and well-organized. The desk staff were extremely helpful with directions, suggestions and arrangements. The free coffee/tea and free movies in the evening were sweet bonuses. I didn't have a problem with noise even though my window faced the street (6th floor), but they provide earplugs in case you're a light sleeper. I'd go there again! The neighborhood is seedy on one side, but fine if you walk the other way. No problems, and I'm a youngish woman, mostly alone. BART and MUNI are one block away.

I found this hotel to be well-placed near the BART station and only a couple of blocks away from the conference center. Room was very clean, and staff were friendly. Take note though, it is right on the edge of a sketchy area. Turn one way, you're fine, turn the other, and you meet some very interesting people. Also, quite a bit of noise at night from the street, though this didn't seem to bother my sleeping. Overall a good experience, but if noise bothers you, I'd pay a bit more for a hotel with rooms higher up or further from the tenderloin district.

Of the 3 hotels during my trip (2 SF, 1 Sonoma), this is my favorite. Hotel corner feels quite safe; although the area away from Powell St. may feel slightly sketchy sometimes, all other directions feel safe--bustling downtown feel. Room is clean, great condition, good architectural character. Nightly movies a special touch. Hotel, lobby, & room all a comfortable size. Quiet (4th floor room). Breakfast (included) is minimum-standard: white bread, manufactured muffins, packaged cream. Bkfst room is overlit w/ fluorescents--hospital cafeteria feel. A minor drawback.
