Ever since this 140-room property opened in 1991, San Francisco locals have valued it for, well, its value. Not only does it offer a number of complimentary amenities — Wi-Fi, coffee and tea bar, hosted wine hour and daily newspaper — it also boasts a convenient location across from Chinatown Gate and a few blocks from Union Square. Better yet, this place is stylish, as is evidenced by the lobby mural that tells the story of the local art scene. An on-site gym, in-room spa services, pet-friendly policies and celebrity-inspired rooms (we love a world in which Häagen-Dazs is a celebrity!) round out the hotel's appealing features. And since the Triton is a nationwide leader for eco-friendly hotels, you can feel all the better about your City-by-the-Bay stay.
