The Halcyon Hotel was adequate for our needs and would be better for a longer time stay in S.F. The rooms were plain, but clean and functional. Overall a great deal in this expensive city. We also stayed at The Mosser, which is in a better location (more centrally located) and had those special little touches that made it special. The Halcyon was $** for one night and The Mosser was $** on a Saturday night. The Halcyon would have been $** for Saturday night, but they were booked up. I'm glad we stayed at The Mosser to compare the two. If you need a nice place to stay for one night, I'd recommend The Mosser. But for a longer stay, such as a week or a month, then The Halcyon would be a better choice.

Since we stayed for six nights, the seventh night was free. The location is a bit iffy, as it borders on the Tenderloin area, although it is only 3 blocks west of Union Square. Just don't head south early in the morning or late at night. The rooms are pretty small, although they come with a refrigerator, microwave, toaster, coffeemaker, etc. There is also cable t.v. and an in-room safe. The locks on the door could be better (e.g., a deadbolt would have been nice). The bathroom was tiny (had to walk over the toilet to get to the shower). No elevator, although the building only has four floors. Washer and dryer in the basement of the building. Staff pretty helpful.
