I live in San Francisco. I'm not sure about the Hotel Union Square, but I believe the Tilden Hotel has been a ratty residential hotel for years. They are probably soaking city government for the money to make repairs that have been needed for years. Don't get me wrong. The idiots in City Hall deserve to get soaked. But understand: we're not talking about the Hyatt Regency.

I used to stay at the Hotel Union Square when I went Christmas shopping in SF (prior 2013). It was one of those cute boutique hotels, walking distance to Union Square and we enjoyed it . I have not been up in SF for 10 years now. Live in Santa Clara County. This was another sad little story about what has happened in Sf.
Me too! We used to love going up to “The City” for Christmas shopping on Union Square or an occasional game. I celebrated my 40th birthday there. It’s so sad what has happened to a once beautiful city. We haven’t been back In probably 8 years.
We used to go to SF in the early 1990s...mostly to attend the MacWorld conventions. We liked to stay at the Phoenix Hotel on Eddy St., in the tenderloin area. It was a fun, quirky converted motel with a tropical decor, no TVs in the rooms, a great painted pool, in the courtyard, and lots of rock bands stayed there when playing in the city. Rates were crazy affordable then...about $70 or so. There was an attached Caribbean food restaurant as well. I don't think we've gone to the city for 20 years at least. Not fun any more. I don't want to see what it has become, I prefer to remember the beautiful, wonderful city it used to be before the libs and homeless took over.
I used to live there as well. The city/county budget is the size of Oklahoma, and they piss money away like drunken sailors. It was bad in the tenderloin when I left and subsequent visits much worse. My friends there are not pleased with the crime rate, car break-ins and general WROL-ishness….
I have a cousin who left SF in Dec 2021... he lived near Chestnut street, I forget the neighborhood name. It’s not far from all the hotels along the road that leads to the Golden Gate Bridge. He left because all those hotels took in the homeless, and brought a lot of crime including drug deals on street corners to his pristine neighborhood. His wife got pregnant and couldnt’ imagine walking her neighborhood in the day no less, with all the problems associated to those hotels. As far as I know, and I did live in the east bay for 25 years... that part of town was touristy but nice. So this report fits like a glove to what my cousin said.

I can vouch for that! I was a sailor, and as a drunken sailor on occasion, I indeed did piss away a lot of money!
The Tenderloin has only gotten worse and the rest of the city is starting to look like the old Tenderloin.

Sounds like Lombard Street?
I just found this article. City Hall decided to sneak homeless people into some of the bigger name hotels. It figures.

Cow Hollow or the Marina...I lived there in the early 2000s and loved it. Can’t go back to see the disaster it has no doubtedly become.
