Hotel Abri

Hotel Abri is a small hotel at 127 Ellis Street in San Francisco, California, about a block from Union Square and Powell Street BART. The cable car turnaround at Powell and Market, the Powell Street BART and Muni station and Union Square's shopping streets are all within a few minutes' walk, and Chinatown's Dragon Gate and the Financial District are an easy stroll to the east. Yerba Buena Gardens, the Museum of Modern Art and Moscone Center lie south of Market Street within walking distance, making the location handy for both leisure and conference visitors. The Tenderloin starts a block or two west, so the surroundings are busy and urban, with plenty of restaurants but also a street scene that some visitors find rough after dark. The hotel itself is compact and contemporary in feel, designed as a mid-range boutique base rather than a resort. Rooms are offered as Queen and King categories and are generally modest in size, as is typical in downtown San Francisco. Listed amenities include a bar, a fitness centre and free Wi-Fi; there is no advertised pool or full-service restaurant, so guests commonly dine at the many cafes, bakeries and restaurants within a few blocks around Union Square, Chinatown and the Financial District. Service is friendly and practical, suited to couples, solo travellers and business visitors who value a central address and moderate rates. Nightly prices usually fall between about $140 and $300 depending on season and events, and the hotel is rated around 4.0. Guests who prefer quiet may ask for an upper floor or a room facing away from Ellis Street, and many use ride-share after dark rather than walking through nearby side streets.
