Terrible neighborhood
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 7/18/06
We were really looking forward to our first trip back to San Francisco in many years. Instead of staying at the wharf, as we have in the past, we decided to stay in the Union Square area, and selected the Adagio for a 4 night stay. We booked an executive-level junior suite. While the hotel is nice, the room was too small to be called a suite. The pullout couch could barely be opened up, and once opened, you couldn't walk around it. The area the hotel is in is really a couple of blocks from Union Square, and there is a terrible problem with panhandlers, which are at every other doorway. We have a teenage daughter who kept getting spoken to by these street people. After two nights, we checked out and went back to the wharf, where, even though it's 'touristy', we were not accosted every time we left our hotel. We will not return here.
